The Doctrine and Covenants

 1 In the ^acelestial glory there are three ^bheavens or degrees;

 2 And in order to obtain the ^ahighest, a man must enter into this ^border of the ^cpriesthood [meaning the ^dnew and everlasting covenant of ^emarriage];

 3 And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.

 4 He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an ^aincrease.

 5 (May 17th, 1843.) The more sure word of ^aprophecy means a man’s knowing that he is ^bsealed up unto ^ceternal life, by revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy Priesthood.

 6 It is impossible for a man to be ^asaved in ^bignorance.

 7 There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All ^aspirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by ^bpurer eyes;

 8 We cannot ^asee it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all ^bmatter.
