1 For verily, thus saith the Lord, it is expedient in me that they should continue preaching the gospel, and in exhortation to the churches in the regions round about, until conference;
If any man shall take of the abundance which I have made, and impart not his portion, according to the law of my gospel, unto the poor and the needy, he shall, with the wicked, lift up his eyes in hell, being in torment. 104:18
Trivia: In Section 41, God commanded the church to build a house for someone. Who was that person?
73:1-6 1 For verily, thus saith the Lord, it is expedient in me that they should continue preaching the gospel, and in exhortation to the churches in the regions round about, until conference;
They should continue preaching until conference.
2 And then, behold, it shall be made known unto them, by the voice of the conference, their several missions.
Their missions will be made known to them by the voice of the conference.
3 Now, verily I say unto you my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, saith the Lord, it is expedient to translate again;
4 And, inasmuch as it is practicable, to preach in the regions round about until conference; and after that it is expedient to continue the work of translation until it be finished.
5 And let this be a pattern unto the elders until further knowledge, even as it is written.
Joseph Smith, Jun. and Sidney Rigdon should translate again. [1]
6 Now I give no more unto you at this time. Gird up your loins and be sober. Even so. Amen.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Gird up your loins and be sober. Amen.
Joseph Smith was working on a "translation" of the Bible.
Of course it wasn't really a translation. Joseph Smith didn't know the orginal languages that the Bible was written in, so he couldn't translate it. The Mormon church claims that he was restoring the "plain and precious things" that the Great and Abominable Church (the Catholics) removed. (1 Nephi 13:26-29)
