104 Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness?

105 Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but all men are privileged the one like unto the other, and none are forbidden.

106 He commandeth that there shall be no priestcrafts; for, behold, priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain, and praise of the world; but they seek not the welfare of Zion.

107 Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing; wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment, that all men should have charity, which charity is love.

108 And except they should have charity, they were nothing: wherefore, if they should have charity, they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish.

109 But the laborer in Zion shall labor for Zion; for if they labor for money, they shall perish.

110 And, again, the Lord God hath commanded that men should not murder; that they should not lie; that they should not steal; that they should not take the name of the Lord their God in vain; that they should not envy; that they should not have malice; that they should not contend one with another; that they should not commit whoredoms; and that they should do none of these things;

111 For whoso doeth them shall perish; for none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men;

112 And he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men;

113 And he inviteth them all to come unto him, and partake of his goodness;

114 And he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female;
