3  Wherefore, let my servant Edward Partridge, and those whom he has chosen, in whom I am well pleased, appoint unto this people their portions, every man equal according to his family, according to his circumstances and his wants and needs.

  11  Therefore, verily I say unto you, that it is expedient for my servants Edward Partridge and Newel K. Whitney, A. Sidney Gilbert and Sidney Rigdon, and my servant Joseph Smith, and John Whitmer and Oliver Cowdery, and W. W. Phelps and Martin Harris to be bound ^atogether by a bond and covenant that cannot be broken by transgression, except judgment shall immediately follow, in your several stewardships—

  10  To keep the Lord's ^astorehouse; to receive the funds of the church in this part of the vineyard;

  5  And after that, they have claim upon the church, or in other words upon the Lord's ^bstorehouse, if their parents have not wherewith to give them inheritances.

  30  And behold, thou wilt remember the poor, and consecrate of thy properties for their support that which thou hast to impart unto them, with a covenant and a deed which cannot be broken.

  2  Wherefore, this is the land of promise, and the place for the city of ^cZion.

  20  This order I have appointed to be an everlasting ^border unto you, and unto your successors, inasmuch as you sin not.

  4  Therefore, take heed that ye see to this matter, and that portion that is necessary to benefit mine ^aorder, for the purpose of bringing forth my word to the children of men.

  1  Verily I say unto you, my friends, I give unto you counsel, and a commandment, concerning all the properties which belong to the order which I commanded to be organized and established, to be a ^bunited order, and an everlasting order for the benefit of my church, and for the salvation of men until I come—

  4  And are not ^aunited according to the union required by the law of the celestial kingdom;

  34  And let those commandments which I have given concerning Zion and her ^alaw be executed and fulfilled, after her redemption.

  89  If he will do my will let him from henceforth hearken to the counsel of my servant Joseph, and with his interest support the ^bcause of the poor, and publish the new translation of my holy word unto the inhabitants of the earth.
