D&C 10
Now,
behold,
I
say
unto
you,
that
because
you
a
delivered
up
those
writings
which
you
had
power
given
unto
you
to
translate
by
the
means
of
the
b
Urim
and
Thummim,
into
the
hands
of
a
wicked
man,
you
have
lost
them.
2 And
you
also
lost
your
gift
at
the
same
time,
and
your
a
mind
became
b
darkened.
3 Nevertheless,
it
is
now
a
restored
unto
you
again;
therefore
see
that
you
are
faithful
and
continue
on
unto
the
finishing
of
the
remainder
of
the
work
of
b
translation
as
you
have
begun.
4 Do
not
run
a
faster
or
labor
more
than
you
have
b
strength
and
means
provided
to
enable
you
to
translate;
but
be
c
diligent
unto
the
end.
5
a
Pray
always,
that
you
may
come
off
b
conqueror;
yea,
that
you
may
conquer
Satan,
and
that
you
may
c
escape
the
hands
of
the
servants
of
Satan
that
do
uphold
his
work.
6 Behold,
they
have
sought
to
a
destroy
you;
yea,
even
the
b
man
in
whom
you
have
trusted
has
sought
to
destroy
you.
7 And
for
this
cause
I
said
that
he
is
a
wicked
man,
for
he
has
sought
to
take
away
the
things
wherewith
you
have
been
entrusted;
and
he
has
also
sought
to
destroy
your
gift.
8 And
because
you
have
delivered
the
writings
into
his
hands,
behold,
wicked
men
have
taken
them
from
you.
9 Therefore,
you
have
delivered
them
up,
yea,
that
which
was
a
sacred,
unto
wickedness.
10 And,
behold,
a
Satan
hath
put
it
into
their
hearts
to
alter
the
words
which
you
have
caused
to
be
b
written,
or
which
you
have
translated,
which
have
gone
out
of
your
hands.
11 And
behold,
I
say
unto
you,
that
because
they
have
altered
the
words,
they
read
contrary
from
that
which
you
translated
and
caused
to
be
written;
12 And,
on
this
wise,
the
devil
has
sought
to
lay
a
cunning
plan,
that
he
may
destroy
this
work;
13 For
he
hath
put
into
their
hearts
to
do
this,
that
by
lying
they
may
say
they
have
a
caught
you
in
the
words
which
you
have
pretended
to
translate.
14 Verily,
I
say
unto
you,
that
I
will
not
suffer
that
Satan
shall
accomplish
his
a
evil
design
in
this
thing.
15 For
behold,
he
has
put
it
into
their
a
hearts
to
get
thee
to
b
tempt
the
Lord
thy
God,
in
asking
to
translate
it
over
again.
16 And
then,
behold,
they
say
and
think
in
their
hearts—We
will
see
if
God
has
given
him
power
to
translate;
if
so,
he
will
also
give
him
power
again;
17 And
if
God
giveth
him
power
again,
or
if
he
translates
again,
or,
in
other
words,
if
he
bringeth
forth
the
same
words,
behold,
we
have
the
same
with
us,
and
we
have
altered
them;
18 Therefore
they
will
not
agree,
and
we
will
say
that
he
has
lied
in
his
words,
and
that
he
has
no
a
gift,
and
that
he
has
no
power;
19 Therefore
we
will
destroy
him,
and
also
the
work;
and
we
will
do
this
that
we
may
not
be
ashamed
in
the
end,
and
that
we
may
get
a
glory
of
the
world.
20 Verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you,
that
a
Satan
has
great
hold
upon
their
hearts;
he
stirreth
them
up
to
b
iniquity
against
that
which
is
good;
21 And
their
hearts
are
a
corrupt,
and
b
full
of
wickedness
and
abominations;
and
they
c
love
d
darkness
rather
than
light,
because
their
e
deeds
are
evil;
therefore
they
will
not
ask
of
me.
22
a
Satan
stirreth
them
up,
that
he
may
b
lead
their
souls
to
destruction.
23 And
thus
he
has
laid
a
cunning
plan,
thinking
to
a
destroy
the
work
of
God;
but
I
will
b
require
this
at
their
hands,
and
it
shall
turn
to
their
shame
and
condemnation
in
the
day
of
c
judgment.
24 Yea,
he
stirreth
up
their
hearts
to
a
anger
against
this
work.
25 Yea,
he
saith
unto
them:
a
Deceive
and
lie
in
wait
to
catch,
that
ye
may
destroy;
behold,
this
is
no
harm.
And
thus
he
flattereth
them,
and
telleth
them
that
it
is
no
sin
to
b
lie
that
they
may
catch
a
man
in
a
lie,
that
they
may
destroy
him.
26 And
thus
he
a
flattereth
them,
and
leadeth
them
along
until
he
draggeth
their
souls
down
to
b
hell;
and
thus
he
causeth
them
to
catch
themselves
in
their
own
c
snare.
27 And
thus
he
goeth
up
and
down,
a
to
and
fro
in
the
earth,
seeking
to
b
destroy
the
souls
of
men.
28 Verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you,
wo
be
unto
him
that
a
lieth
to
b
deceive
because
he
supposeth
that
another
lieth
to
deceive,
for
such
are
not
exempt
from
the
c
justice
of
God.
29 Now,
behold,
they
have
altered
these
words,
because
Satan
saith
unto
them:
He
hath
deceived
you—and
thus
he
a
flattereth
them
away
to
do
iniquity,
to
get
thee
to
b
tempt
the
Lord
thy
God.
30 Behold,
I
say
unto
you,
that
you
shall
not
translate
again
those
words
which
have
gone
forth
out
of
your
hands;
31 For,
behold,
they
shall
not
accomplish
their
evil
designs
in
lying
against
those
words.
For,
behold,
if
you
should
bring
forth
the
same
words
they
will
say
that
you
have
lied
and
that
you
have
pretended
to
translate,
but
that
you
have
contradicted
yourself.
32 And,
behold,
they
will
publish
this,
and
Satan
will
a
harden
the
hearts
of
the
people
to
stir
them
up
to
anger
against
you,
that
they
will
not
believe
my
words.
33 Thus
a
Satan
thinketh
to
overpower
your
b
testimony
in
this
generation,
that
the
work
may
not
come
forth
in
this
generation.
34 But
behold,
here
is
wisdom,
and
because
I
show
unto
you
wisdom,
and
give
you
commandments
concerning
these
things,
what
you
shall
do,
show
it
not
unto
the
world
until
you
have
accomplished
the
work
of
translation.
35 Marvel
not
that
I
said
unto
you:
Here
is
a
wisdom,
show
it
not
unto
the
world—for
I
said,
show
it
not
unto
the
world,
that
you
may
be
preserved.
36 Behold,
I
do
not
say
that
you
shall
not
show
it
unto
the
righteous;
37 But
as
you
cannot
always
judge
the
a
righteous,
or
as
you
cannot
always
tell
the
wicked
from
the
righteous,
therefore
I
say
unto
you,
hold
your
b
peace
until
I
shall
see
fit
to
make
all
things
known
unto
the
world
concerning
the
matter.
38 And
now,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
an
account
of
those
things
that
you
have
written,
which
have
gone
out
of
your
hands,
is
engraven
upon
the
a
plates
of
Nephi;
39 Yea,
and
you
remember
it
was
said
in
those
writings
that
a
more
particular
account
was
given
of
these
things
upon
the
plates
of
Nephi.
40 And
now,
because
the
account
which
is
engraven
upon
the
plates
of
Nephi
is
more
particular
concerning
the
things
which,
in
my
wisdom,
I
a
would
bring
to
the
knowledge
of
the
people
in
this
account—
41 Therefore,
you
shall
translate
the
engravings
which
are
on
the
plates
of
Nephi,
down
even
till
you
come
to
the
reign
of
king
Benjamin,
or
until
you
come
to
that
which
you
have
translated,
which
you
have
retained;
42 And
behold,
you
shall
publish
it
as
the
record
of
Nephi;
and
thus
I
will
a
confound
those
who
have
altered
my
words.
43 I
will
not
suffer
that
they
shall
destroy
my
a
work;
yea,
I
will
show
unto
them
that
my
b
wisdom
is
greater
than
the
cunning
of
the
devil.
44 Behold,
they
have
only
got
a
part,
or
an
a
abridgment
of
the
account
of
Nephi.
45 Behold,
there
are
many
things
engraven
upon
the
a
plates
of
Nephi
which
do
throw
greater
views
upon
my
gospel;
therefore,
it
is
wisdom
in
me
that
you
should
b
translate
this
first
part
of
the
engravings
of
Nephi,
and
send
forth
in
this
work.
46 And,
behold,
all
the
remainder
of
this
work
does
contain
all
those
parts
of
my
a
gospel
which
my
holy
prophets,
yea,
and
also
my
disciples,
b
desired
in
their
prayers
should
come
forth
unto
this
people.
47 And
I
said
unto
them,
that
it
should
be
a
granted
unto
them
according
to
their
b
faith
in
their
prayers;
48 Yea,
and
this
was
their
faith—that
my
gospel,
which
I
gave
unto
them
that
they
might
preach
in
their
days,
might
come
unto
their
brethren
the
a
Lamanites,
and
also
all
that
had
become
Lamanites
because
of
their
dissensions.
49 Now,
this
is
not
all—their
faith
in
their
prayers
was
that
this
gospel
should
be
made
known
also,
if
it
were
possible
that
other
nations
should
possess
this
land;
50 And
thus
they
did
leave
a
blessing
upon
this
land
in
their
prayers,
that
whosoever
should
believe
in
this
a
gospel
in
this
land
might
have
eternal
life;
51 Yea,
that
it
might
be
a
free
unto
all
of
whatsoever
nation,
kindred,
tongue,
or
people
they
may
be.
52 And
now,
behold,
according
to
their
faith
in
their
prayers
will
I
bring
this
part
of
my
gospel
to
the
knowledge
of
my
people.
Behold,
I
do
not
bring
it
to
a
destroy
that
which
they
have
received,
but
to
build
it
up.
53 And
for
this
cause
have
I
said:
If
this
generation
a
harden
not
their
hearts,
I
will
establish
my
b
church
among
them.
54 Now
I
do
not
say
this
to
destroy
my
church,
but
I
say
this
to
build
up
my
church;
55 Therefore,
whosoever
belongeth
to
my
church
need
not
a
fear,
for
such
shall
b
inherit
the
c
kingdom
of
heaven.
56 But
it
is
they
who
do
not
a
fear
me,
neither
keep
my
commandments
but
build
up
b
churches
unto
themselves
to
get
c
gain,
yea,
and
all
those
that
do
wickedly
and
build
up
the
kingdom
of
the
devil—yea,
verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you,
that
it
is
they
that
I
will
disturb,
and
cause
to
tremble
and
shake
to
the
center.
57 Behold,
I
am
Jesus
Christ,
the
a
Son
of
God.
I
came
unto
mine
own,
and
mine
own
b
received
me
not.
58 I
am
the
a
light
which
shineth
in
darkness,
and
the
darkness
comprehendeth
it
not.
59 I
am
he
who
said—
a
Other
b
sheep
have
I
which
are
not
of
this
fold—unto
my
disciples,
and
many
there
were
that
c
understood
me
not.
60 And
I
will
show
unto
this
people
that
I
had
other
a
sheep,
and
that
they
were
a
b
branch
of
the
house
of
c
Jacob;
61 And
I
will
bring
to
light
their
marvelous
works,
which
they
did
in
my
name;
62 Yea,
and
I
will
also
bring
to
light
my
gospel
which
was
ministered
unto
them,
and,
behold,
they
shall
not
deny
that
which
you
have
received,
but
they
shall
build
it
up,
and
shall
bring
to
light
the
true
points
of
my
a
doctrine,
yea,
and
the
only
doctrine
which
is
in
me.
63 And
this
I
do
that
I
may
establish
my
gospel,
that
there
may
not
be
so
much
a
contention;
yea,
b
Satan
doth
c
stir
up
the
hearts
of
the
people
to
d
contention
concerning
the
points
of
my
doctrine;
and
in
these
things
they
do
err,
for
they
do
e
wrest
the
scriptures
and
do
not
understand
them.
64 Therefore,
I
will
unfold
unto
them
this
great
mystery;
65 For,
behold,
I
will
a
gather
them
as
a
hen
gathereth
her
chickens
under
her
wings,
if
they
will
not
harden
their
hearts;
66 Yea,
if
they
will
come,
they
may,
and
partake
of
the
a
waters
of
life
freely.
67 Behold,
this
is
my
doctrine—whosoever
repenteth
and
a
cometh
unto
me,
the
same
is
my
b
church.
68 Whosoever
a
declareth
more
or
less
than
this,
the
same
is
not
of
me,
but
is
b
against
me;
therefore
he
is
not
of
my
church.
69 And
now,
behold,
whosoever
is
of
my
church,
and
a
endureth
of
my
church
to
the
end,
him
will
I
establish
upon
my
b
rock,
and
the
c
gates
of
hell
shall
not
prevail
against
them.
70 And
now,
remember
the
words
of
him
who
is
the
life
and
a
light
of
the
b
world,
your
Redeemer,
your
c
Lord
and
your
God.
Amen.
