Doctrine and Covenants

1. 1

   Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you concerning the Apocrypha--There are many things contained therein that are true, and it is mostly translated correctly;

2. 2

   There are many things contained therein that are not true, which are interpolations by the hands of men.

3. 3

   Verily, I say unto you, that it is not needful that the Apocrypha should be translated.

4. 4

   Therefore, whoso readeth it, let him understand, for the Spirit manifesteth truth;

5. 5

   And whoso is enlightened by the Spirit shall obtain benefit therefrom;

6. 6

   And whoso receiveth not by the Spirit, cannot be benefited. Therefore it is not needful that it should be translated. Amen.
