established to be a United firm and an everlasting firm for the benefit
of my church and for the salvation of men until I come |
Verily I say unto you, my friends, I give unto

& for the salvation of men until I come. |
[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 an

the benefit of my church, and for the salvation of men until I come, |
| with promise immutable and unchangable that inasmuch
as those whom I Commanded were faithful they should be blessed with a multiplicity
of blessings |
with promise immutible & unchangeable, that
inasmuch as those whom I commanded were faithful, they should be blessed
with [a] multiplicity of blessings; |
with promise immutable and unchangeable, that inasmuch as
those whom I commanded were faithful, they should be blessed with a multiplicity
of blessings; |
| but inasmuch {as some of} <as
they were not faithful they were nigh unto cursing; |
but inasmuch as they were not faithful, they
were nigh unto cursing. |
but inasmuch as they were not faithful, they
were nigh unto cursing. |
| therefore inasmuch as some of> my servants
have not kept the commandment but have broken the covenant by Covitiousness
and with feigned words, I have cursed them with a very soar and grievous
Curse. |
Therefore inasmuch as some of my servants have not kept the
commandment but have broken the covenant, by coveteousness & with feigned
words, I have cursed them with a verry sore & grievous curse; |
Therefore, inasmuch as some of my servants have not kept the
commandment, but have broken the covenant, by covetousness and with feigned
words, I have cursed them with a very sore and grievous curse: |
| for I the Lord have decreed in my heart that inasmuch as any
man belonging to the firm shall be found a transgressor or in other words
shall break the covenant with which ye are bound, he shall be cursed in
his life and shall be trodden down by whom I will |

down by whom I will; |

any man belonging to the order shall be found
a transgressor; or, in other words, shall break the covenant with which
ye are bound, he shall be cursed in his life, and shall be trodden down
by whom I will, |
| for I the Lord am not to be mocked in these things |
for I the Lord am not to be mocked in these things; |
for I, the Lord, am not to be mocked in these things: |
| and all this that the innocent among you may not be condemned
with the unjust and that the guilty among you may not escape because I the
Lord have promised unto you a crown of glory at my right hand. |
& all this that the inocent among you may not be condemned
with the unjust & that the guilty among you may not escape because I
the Lord have promised unto you a crown of glory at my right hand. |
and all this that the innocent among you, may not be condemned
with the unjust; and that the guilty among you may not escape, because I
the Lord have promised unto you a crown of glory at my right hand. |
| Therefore inasmuch as ye are found transgressors ye cannot
escape my wrath in your lives, |
Therefore, inasmuch as ye are
found transgressors, you cannot escape my wrath
in your lives; |
Therefore inasmuch as you are
found transgressors, ye cannot escape my wrath
in your lives: |
| and inasmuch as ye are cut off by transgression ye cannot
escape the buffitings of Satan unto the day of redemption, |
& inasmuch as ye are cut
off for transgression ye cannot escape the buffetings of Satan until the
day of redemption. |
inasmuch as ye are cut off for transgression, ye cannot escape
the buffetings of satan until the day of redemption. |
| And I now give unto you power from this very
hour that if any man among you of the firm is found a transgressor and repenteth
not of the evil that ye shall deliver him over unto the buffitings of Satan
and he shall have no more power to bring evil upon you |

is found a transgressor, and repenteth not of the evil, that ye shall deliver
him over unto the buffetings of satan; and he shall not
have power to bring evil upon you. |
| but as long as ye hold communion with transgressors behold,
they bring evil upon you, |
but as long as ye hold communion with
transgressors, behold, they bring evil upon you. |

to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have given unto the children of
men to be agents unto themselves: |
