Jacob 1: 19.

19 And we did ^amagnify our office unto the Lord, taking upon us the ^bresponsibility, answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we did not ^cteach them the word of God with all diligence; wherefore, by laboring with our might their ^dblood might not come upon our garments; otherwise their blood would come upon our garments, and we would not be found spotless at the last day.

Jacob 2: 2.

2 Now, my beloved brethren, I, Jacob, according to the ^aresponsibility which I am under to God, to ^bmagnify mine office with ^csoberness, and that I might ^drid my garments of your sins, I come up into the temple this day that I might declare unto you the word of God.

D&C 88: 85.

85 That their souls may escape the wrath of God, the ^adesolation of abomination which awaits the wicked, both in this world and in the world to come. Verily, I say unto you, let those who are not the ^bfirst elders continue in the vineyard until the mouth of the Lord shall ^ccall them, for their time is not yet come; their garments are not ^dclean from the blood of this generation.

Ezek. 34: 10.

10 Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will ^arequire my flock at their hand, and cause them to ^bcease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

D&C 72: 3.

3 And verily in this thing ye have done wisely, for it is required of the Lord, at the hand of every ^asteward, to render an ^baccount of his ^cstewardship, both in time and in eternity.
