This is the light of hrist. s lso he is in the sun, nd the light of the sun, nd the power thereof y which it ws mde. 8 2 s lso he is in the moon, nd is the light of the moon, nd the power thereof y which it ws mde; 9 3 s lso the light of the strs, nd the power thereof y which they were mde; 10 4 nd the erth lso, nd the power thereof, even the erth upon which you stnd. 11 nd the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the sme light tht quickeneth your understndings; 12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of spce--13 The light which is in ll things, which giveth life to ll things, which is the lw y which ll things re governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the osom of eternity, who is in the midst of ll things. 14 Now, verily I sy unto you, tht through the redemption which is mde for you is rought to pss F the resurrection from the ded. 15 G nd the spirit nd the ody re the soul of mn. 16 F nd the resurrection from the ded is the redemption of the soul. 17 nd the redemption of the soul is through him tht quickeneth ll things, in whose osom it is decreed

8 168 Section 88 tht the poor nd the meek of the erth shll inherit it. 18 Therefore, it must needs e snctified from ll unrighteousness, tht it my e prepred for the celestil glory; 19 For fter it hth filled the mesure of its cretion, it shll e crowned with glory, even with the presence of God the Fther; 20 1 Tht odies who re of the celestil kingdom my possess it forever nd ever; for, for this intent ws it mde nd creted, nd for this intent re they snctified nd they who re not snctified through the lw which I hve given unto you, even the lw of hrist, must inherit nother kingdom, even tht of terrestril kingdom, 3 or tht of telestil kingdom For he who is not le to ide the lw of celestil kingdom cnnot ide celestil glory nd he who cnnot ide the lw of terrestril kingdom cnnot ide terrestril glory nd he who cnnot ide the lw of telestil kingdom cnnot ide telestil glory; 4 therefore he is not meet for kingdom of glory. Therefore he must ide kingdom which is not kingdom of glory nd gin, verily I sy unto you, the erth ideth the lw of celestil kingdom, for it filleth the mesure of its cretion, nd trnsgresseth not the lw--26 Wherefore, it shll e snctified; ye, notwithstnding it shll die, it shll e quickened gin, nd shll ide the power y which it is quickened, nd the righteous shll inherit it. 27 For notwithstnding they die, they lso shll rise gin, spiritul ody. 28 They who re of celestil spirit shll receive the sme ody which ws nturl ody; even ye shll receive your odies, nd your glory shll e tht glory y which your odies re quickened. 29 Ye who re quickened y portion of the celestil glory shll then receive of the sme, even fulness nd they who re quickened y portion of the terrestril glory shll then receive of the sme, even fulness nd lso they who re quickened y portion of the telestil glory shll then receive of the sme, even fulness nd they who remin shll lso e quickened; nevertheless, they shll return gin to their own plce, to enjoy tht which they re willing to receive, ecuse they were not willing to enjoy tht which they might hve received. 33 For wht doth it profit mn if gift is estowed upon him, nd he receive not the gift? ehold, he rejoices not in tht which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift. 34 nd gin, verily I sy unto you, tht which is governed y lw is lso preserved y lw nd perfected nd snctified y the sme. 35
