The Doctrine and Covenants

 1 Listen to the ^avoice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose word is ^bquick and powerful.

 2 For, behold, I say unto you, that it mattereth not what ye shall ^aeat or what ye shall drink when ye partake of the sacrament, if it so be that ye do it with an eye single to my ^bglory—^cremembering unto the Father my ^dbody which was laid down for you, and my ^eblood which was shed for the ^fremission of your sins.

 3 Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, that you shall not purchase ^awine neither strong drink of your enemies;

 4 Wherefore, you shall partake of none except it is made ^anew among you; yea, in this my Father’s kingdom which shall be built up on the earth.

 5 Behold, this is wisdom in me; wherefore, marvel not, for the hour cometh that I will ^adrink of the fruit of the ^bvine with you on the earth, and with ^cMoroni, whom I have sent unto you to reveal the Book of Mormon, containing the fulness of my everlasting gospel, to whom I have committed the keys of the ^drecord of the ^estick of ^fEphraim;

 6 And also with ^aElias, to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days;

 7 And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he ^a(Elias) visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be ^bJohn, and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias;

 8 Which John I have sent unto you, my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first ^apriesthood which you have received, that you might be called and ^bordained even as ^cAaron;

 9 And also ^aElijah, unto whom I have committed the keys of the power of turning the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the ^bfathers, that the whole earth may not be smitten with a ^ccurse;

 10 And also with Joseph and ^aJacob, and ^bIsaac, and Abraham, your ^cfathers, by whom the ^dpromises remain;

 11 And also with Michael, or ^aAdam, the father of all, the prince of all, the ^bancient of days;

 12 And also with Peter, and James, and John, whom I have sent unto you, by whom I have ^aordained you and confirmed you to be ^bapostles, and especial ^cwitnesses of my ^dname, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things which I revealed unto them;

 13 Unto whom I have ^acommitted the ^bkeys of my kingdom, and a ^cdispensation of the ^dgospel for the ^elast times; and for the ^ffulness of times, in the which I will gather together in ^gone all things, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;

 14 And also with all those whom my Father hath ^agiven me out of the world.

 15 Wherefore, ^alift up your hearts and ^brejoice, and ^cgird up your loins, and take upon you my whole ^darmor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to ^estand.

 16 Stand, therefore, having your loins ^agirt about with ^btruth, having on the ^cbreastplate of ^drighteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the ^egospel of ^fpeace, which I have sent mine ^gangels to commit unto you;

 17 Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the ^afiery darts of the wicked;

 18 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my ^aSpirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be ^bcaught up, that where I am ye shall be ^calso. Amen.
