4 Let my servant Samuel H. Smith go with you, and forsake him not, and give him thine instructions; and he that is faithful shall be made strong in every place, and I, the Lord, will go with you.
5a Lay your hands upon the sick and they shall recover. Return not till I, the Lord, shall send you.
5b Be patient in affliction.
5c Ask and ye shall receive. Knock and it shall be opened unto you. Seek not to be cumbered.
5d Forsake all unrighteousness.
5e Commit not adultery, a temptation with which thou hast been troubled.
5f Keep these sayings for they are true and faithful, and thou shalt magnify thine office, and push many people to Zion, with songs of everlasting joy upon their heads.
5g Continue in these things, even unto the end, and you shall have a crown of eternal life at the right hand of my Father, who is full of grace and truth.
5h Verily thus saith the Lord your God, your Redeemer, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
DC 67 Intro: SECTION 67
Revelation addressed to the elders of the church, given through Joseph Smith, Jr., at a special conference held at Hiram, Ohio, November 1831. There had been some criticism among the elders regarding the language of the revelations. William E. McLellin accepted the challenge of this revelation but was unable to produce any improvement.
1a Behold, and hearken, O ye elders of my church, who have assembled yourselves together, whose prayers I have heard, and whose hearts I know, and whose desires have come up before me.
