Revelation
given to Joseph Smith, Sr., through his son, the prophet, at Harmony,
Pennsylvania, February 1829.
1a.
Now, behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the
children of men,
1b.
therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve
him with all your heart, might, mind, and strength, that ye may stand
blameless before God at the last day;
1c.
therefore, if ye have desires to serve God, ye are called to the
work, for, behold, the field is white already to harvest,
1d.
and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same
layeth up in store that he perish not, but bringeth salvation to his
soul;
1e.
and faith, hope, charity, and love, with an eye single to the glory
of God, qualifies him for the work.
2a.
Remember, faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly
kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence.
2b.
Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
Amen.
