8a Behold, I command you, that you need not suppose that you are called to preach until you are called:
8b wait a little longer, until you shall have my word, my rock, my church, and my gospel, that you may know of a surety my doctrine;
8c and then, behold, according to your desires, yea, even according to your faith, shall it be done unto you.
9a Keep my commandments; hold your peace; appeal unto my Spirit;
9b yea, cleave unto me with all your heart, that you may assist in bringing to light those things of which have been spoken; yea, the translation of my work; be patient until you shall accomplish it.
10a Behold, this is your work, to keep my commandments; yea, with all your might, mind, and strength; seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word, and then shall your tongue be loosed;
10b then, if you desire, you shall have my Spirit, and my word; yea, the power of God unto the convincing of men;
10c but now hold your peace; study my word which hath gone forth among the children of men, and also study my word which shall come forth among the children of men, or that which is now translating;
10d yea, until you have obtained all which I shall grant unto the children of men in this generation; and then shall all things be added thereunto.
11a Behold, thou art Hyrum, my son; seek the kingdom of God, and all things shall be added according to that which is just.
11b Build upon my rock, which is my gospel; deny not the spirit of revelation, nor the spirit of prophecy, for woe unto him that denieth these things;
