Random Scripture Discovery

Mormon 8:12 And whoso receiveth athis record, and shall not condemn it because of the imperfections which are in it, the same shall know of bgreater things than these. Behold, I am Moroni; and were it possible, I would make all things known unto you.

I liked that scripture so I wanted to look up the footnote for "greater".  So, I went to...


D&C 42:15 15 And all this ye shall observe to do as I have acommanded concerning your teaching, until the fulness of my bscriptures is given.


Which made me look at the footnote for "scriptures" which led me to...


D&C 35:20 And a commandment I give unto thee—that thou shalt awritefor him; and the bscriptures shall be given, even as they are in mine own bosom, to the salvation of mine own celect;

 21 For they will hear my avoice, and shall bsee me, and shall not be casleep, and shall dabide the day of my ecoming; for they shall be fpurified, even as I am pure.
&
D&C 42:56  Thou shalt ask, and my scriptures shall be given as I have appointed, and they shall be preserved in safety;
57  And it is expedient that thou shouldst hold thy peace concerning them, and not teach them until ye have received them in full.

As I was looking at these last two verses I looked a little to the left on the same page and read these scriptures (still in section 42) which I found to be just as comforting and beautiful as the above scripture...



43 And whosoever among you are asick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be bnourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild cfood, and that not by the hand of an enemy.
 44 And the elders of the church, two or more, shall be called, and shall pray for and alay their bhands upon them in my name; and if they cdie they shall ddie unto me, and if they live they shall live unto me.
 45 Thou shalt alive together in blove, insomuch that thou shaltcweep for the loss of them that die, and more especially for those that have not dhope of a glorious resurrection.
 46 And it shall come to pass that those that die in me shall notataste of bdeath, for it shall be csweet 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 afaith in me to be bhealed, and is not cappointed unto death, shall be dhealed.
 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 apower to become my bsons; and inasmuch as they break not my laws thou shalt cbear their infirmities.
