36. That my covenant people may be gathered in one in that day when
I shall come to my temple. And this I do for the salvation of my
people.
37. And it shall come to pass, that he that sinneth and repenteth
not, shall be cast out of the Church, and shall not receive again
that which he has consecrated unto the poor and the needy of my
Church; or in other words, unto me;
38. For inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, ye do it unto
me;
39. For it shall come to pass, that which I spake by the mouths
of my prophets, shall be fulfilled; for I will consecrate of the
riches of those who embrace my Gospel among the Gentiles, unto the
poor of my people who are of the house of Israel.
{151} 40. And again, thou shalt not be proud in thy heart; let all
thy garments be plain, and their beauty the beauty of the work of
thine own hands;
41. And let all things be done in cleanliness before me.
42. Thou shalt not be idle; for he that is idle shall not eat the
bread nor wear the garments of the laborer.
43. And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be
healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with
herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy.
44. And the Elders of the Church, two or more, shall be called, and

46. And it shall come to pass that those that die in me, shall not
taste of death, for it shall be sweet unto them;
47. And they that die not in me, wo unto them, for their death is
bitter.
48. And again, it shall come to pass that he that hath faith in me
to be healed, and is not appointed unto death, shall be healed;
49. He who hath faith to see shall see;
50. He who hath faith to hear shall hear;
51. The lame who hath faith to leap shall leap;
52. And they who have not faith to do these things, but believe in
me, have power to become my sons; and inasmuch as they break not my
laws, thou shalt bear their infirmities.
53. Thou shalt stand in the place of thy stewardship;
54. Thou shalt not take thy brother's garment; thou shalt pay for
that which thou shalt receive of thy brother;
55. And if thou obtainest more than that which would be for thy
support, thou shalt give it into my store-house, that all things
may be done according to that which I have said.
56. Thou shalt ask and my Scriptures shall be given as I have
appointed, and they shall be preserved in safety;
