41 And they did not wear costly apparel, yet they were neat and comely;

42 And thus they did establish the affairs of the church; And thus they began to have continual peace again, notwithstanding all their persecutions.

43 And now because of the steadiness of the church, they began to be exceeding rich, having abundance of all things whatsoever they stood in need -

44 Abundance of flocks and herds and fatlings of every kind, And also abundance of grain and of gold and of silver and of precious things, And abundance of silk and fine-twined linen and all manner of good homely cloth.

47 And thus they did prosper and become far more wealthy than those who did not belong to their church;

48 For those who did not belong to their church did indulge themselves in sorceries and in idolatry or idleness and in babblings and in envyings and strife,

50 Nevertheless, the law was put in force upon all those who did transgress it, inasmuch as it were possible.

51 And it came to pass that by thus exercising the law upon them, every man suffering according to that which he had done, they became more still and durst not commit any wickedness if it were known;
