The Doctrine and Covenants

 1 Behold, I say unto you, my servants ^aEzra and Northrop, open ye your ears and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, whose ^bword is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of the joints and marrow, soul and spirit; and is a discerner of the thoughts and ^cintents of the heart.

 2 For verily, verily, I say unto you that ye are called to lift up your voices as with the ^asound of a trump, to declare my gospel unto a crooked and ^bperverse generation.

 3 For behold, the ^afield is ^bwhite already to harvest; and it is the ^celeventh hour, and the last time that I shall call ^dlaborers into my vineyard.

 4 And my ^avineyard has become ^bcorrupted every whit; and there is none which doeth ^cgood save it be a few; and they ^derr in many instances because of ^epriestcrafts, all having corrupt minds.

 5 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that this ^achurch have I ^bestablished and called forth out of the ^cwilderness.

 6 And even so will I ^agather mine elect from the ^bfour quarters of the earth, even as many as will believe in me, and hearken unto my voice.

 7 Yea, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the field is ^awhite already to harvest; wherefore, thrust in your sickles, and reap with all your might, mind, and strength.

 8 ^aOpen your mouths and they shall be filled, and you shall become even as ^bNephi of old, who journeyed from Jerusalem in the wilderness.

 9 Yea, open your mouths and spare not, and you shall be laden with ^asheaves upon your backs, for lo, I am with you.

 10 Yea, open your mouths and they shall be filled, saying: ^aRepent, repent, and prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for the ^bkingdom of heaven is at hand;

 11 Yea, ^arepent and be baptized, every one of you, for a ^bremission of your sins; yea, be baptized even by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost.

 12 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my ^agospel; and remember that they shall have faith in me or they can in nowise be saved;

 13 And upon this ^arock I will build my church; yea, upon this rock ye are built, and if ye continue, the ^bgates of hell shall not prevail against you.

 14 And ye shall remember the church ^aarticles and covenants to keep them.

 15 And whoso having faith you shall ^aconfirm in my church, by the laying on of the ^bhands, and I will bestow the ^cgift of the Holy Ghost upon them.

 16 And the Book of Mormon and the holy scriptures are given of me for your ^ainstruction; and the power of my ^bSpirit ^cquickeneth all things.

 17 Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your ^alamps ^btrimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ^cready at the coming of the ^dBridegroom—

 18 For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that I ^acome quickly. Even so. Amen.
