Doctrine
and Covenants 93
36 The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.
40 But I have commanded you to bring up
your children in light and truth.
41 But verily I say unto you, my
servant Frederick G. Williams, you have continued under this condemnation;
42 You have not taught your children light and truth,
according to the commandments; and that wicked one hath power, as yet, over
you,
43 And now a
commandment I give unto you—if you will be delivered you shall set in order your own house, for there are many things that
are not right in your house.
48 Your family must needs repent and forsake some
things, and give more earnest heed unto your sayings, or be removed out of
their place.
49 What I say unto one I say unto all; pray always lest that wicked one have
power in you, and remove you out of your place.
52 And let my servants Joseph Smith, Jun.,
and Frederick G. Williams make haste also, and it shall be given them even
according to the prayer of faith; and inasmuch as you keep my sayings you shall
not be confounded in this world, nor in the world to come.
53 And,
verily I say unto you, that it is my will that you should hasten
to translate
my scriptures, and to obtain a knowledge of the laws of God and man, and all this for
the salvation of Zion. Amen.
The commandment for the teaching of Intelligence to our families in Zion.
1. This is my teaching, that you should teach the doctrine
of intelligence : 36 The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.
2. I have commanded
you to teach this doctrine of intelligence to your families: 40 But
I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth.
3. This is now a commandment that God has given
if you want to be delivered, so set your house in order: 42 You
have not taught your children light and truth,
according to the commandments; and that wicked one hath power, as yet, over
you.
4. Your family needs
to repent and forsake some things, and give more earnest heed to your
teachings. 48
Your
family must needs repent and forsake some
things, and give more earnest heed unto your sayings, or be removed out of
their place.
5. What the Lord says he says to all. And pray always. 49 What
I say unto one I say unto all; pray always lest that wicked one have
power in you.
6.
This was counsel given to both Joseph Smith
Jr. and to Frederick G. Williams to make
haste doing this with faith, 53. so that you can
obtain knowledge of kingdoms and the laws of God and man, and all this for the
salvation of Zion. Amen
7. I take it from this that we must all teach this doctrine of intelligence to our families so that we may all be delivered. That is why I have written all 8 books on this very subject. I pray you will take heed and do likewise.
