DC 84:Intro SECTION 84
An inspired exposition of the parable of the wheat and tares received by Joseph Smith, Jr., December 6, 1832, at Kirtland, Ohio.
DC 84:1a Verily thus saith the Lord unto you, my servants, concerning the parable of the wheat and of the tares:
DC 84:1d behold, he soweth the tares, wherefore the tares choke the wheat and drive the church into the wilderness.
DC 84:2c Pluck not up the tares while the blade is yet tender (for verily your faith is weak), lest you destroy the wheat also; therefore let the wheat and tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe;
DC 84:2d then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold, and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned.
DC 85:26c she who sitteth upon many waters, and upon the islands of the sea; behold, she is the tares of the earth, she is bound in bundles, her bands are made strong, no man can loose them; therefore, she is ready to be burned.
DC 98:9b Therefore, I must gather together my people according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father, to reward every man according as his work shall be;
DC 98:9c while the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire.
