c	Ps. 85: 8. 8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak ^apeace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn ^bagain to folly. D&C 42: 26. 26 But if he doeth it ^aagain, he shall not be forgiven, but shall be cast out.
d	2 Cor. 2: 11. 11 Lest ^aSatan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. D&C 20: 5. 5 After it was truly manifested unto this first elder that he had received a ^aremission of his sins, he was ^bentangled again in the ^cvanities of the world;
e	D&C 76: 35 (34-35) 35 Having ^adenied the Holy Spirit after having received it, and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having ^bcrucified him unto themselves and put him to an open ^cshame.
f	Alma 24: 30. 30 And thus we can plainly discern, that after a people have been once ^aenlightened by the ^bSpirit of God, and have had great ^cknowledge of things pertaining to righteousness, and then have ^dfallen away into sin and transgression, they become more ^ehardened, and thus their state becomes ^fworse than though they had never known these things.
