8a And again I say unto you, that whosoever ye shall send in my name, by the voice of your brethren, the Twelve, duly recommended and authorized by you, shall have power to open the door of my kingdom unto any nation whithersoever ye shall send them,
8b inasmuch as they shall humble themselves before me, and abide in my word, and hearken to the voice of my Spirit.
9a Verily, verily I say unto you, Darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face.
9b Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth--a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation--and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
10a And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord.
10b First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord.
11a Therefore, see to it that ye trouble not yourselves concerning the affairs of my church in this place, saith the Lord;
11b but purify your hearts before me, and then go ye into all the world, and preach my gospel unto every creature who has not received it;
11c and he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, and he that believeth not, and is not baptized, shall be damned.
12a For unto you (the Twelve), and those (the First Presidency), who are appointed with you, to be your counselors and your leaders, is the power of this priesthood given, for the last days and for the last time, in the which is the dispensation of the fullness of times,
12b which power you hold in connection with all those who have received a dispensation at any time from the beginning of the creation;
