DC 112:5a We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside, while protected in their inherent and inalienable rights by the laws of such governments, and that sedition and rebellion are
unbecoming every citizen thus protected, and should be punished accordingly;
DC 131:4a The Spirit saith further, that the spirit of distrust and want of confidence in those who are called and ordained to act in the various responsible positions in the priesthood and in authority in the church is
unbecoming those professing faith in God, Jesus Christ his Son, and the Holy Spirit of truth, and evinces a serious lack of that charity which Paul, an apostle of Christ, declared to be the quality of Christian virtue which thinketh no evil.
DC 131:4c The church has been admonished heretofore in this respect and the Spirit saith again, It is
unbecoming to the character and calling of those who administer in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord.
