1 LISTEN to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer,
whose word is quick and powerful.
2 For, behold, I say unto you, that it mattereth not what ye shall eat 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 glory--remembering unto the Father my body which was laid
down for you, and my blood which was shed for the remission of your sins.
3 Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, that you shall not purchase wine
neither strong drink of your enemies;
4 Wherefore, you shall partake of none except it is made new 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 drink of the fruit of the vine with you on the earth, and with Moroni,
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 record of the
stick of Ephraim;
6 And also with Elias, 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 (Elias) visited and
gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John, 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 priesthood which you have received, that
you might be called and ordained even as Aaron;
9 And also Elijah, 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
fathers, that the whole earth may not be smitten with a curse;
10 And also with Joseph and Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham, your fathers, by whom
the promises remain;
11 And also with Michael, or Adam, the father of all, the prince of all, the
ancient of days;
12 And also with Peter, and James, and John, whom I have sent unto you, by
whom I have ordained you and confirmed you to be apostles, and especial
witnesses of my name, and bear the keys of your ministry and of the same things
which I revealed unto them;
13 Unto whom I have committed the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the
gospel for the last times; and for the fulness of times, in the which I will
gather together in one all things, both which are in heaven, and which are on
earth;
14 And also with all those whom my Father hath given me out of the world.
15 Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take
upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having
done all, that ye may be able to stand.
16 Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the
breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you;
17 Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked;
18 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, 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 caught up, that where I am ye shall be also. Amen.
