9 And again, I have called my servant ^aEdward Partridge; and I give a commandment, that he should be appointed by the voice of the church, and ordained a ^bbishop unto the church, to leave his merchandise and to ^cspend all his time in the labors of the church;

  39 Wherefore, in this thing my servant ^aEdward Partridge is not justified; nevertheless let him repent and he shall be forgiven.

  19 That when he shall finish his work I may ^areceive him unto myself, even as I did my servant David Patten, who is with me at this time, and also my servant ^bEdward Partridge, and also my aged servant Joseph Smith, Sen., who sitteth ^cwith Abraham at his right hand, and blessed and holy is he, for he is mine.

  18 And I have given unto him the ^akeys of the mystery of those things which have been ^bsealed, even things which were from the ^cfoundation of the world, and the things which shall come from this time until the time of my coming, if he ^dabide in me, and if not, ^eanother will I plant in his stead.

  40 And even the ^abishop, who is a ^bjudge, and his counselors, if they are not faithful in their ^cstewardships shall be condemned, and ^dothers shall be planted in their ^estead.

  77 And in case the treasurer is found an unfaithful and an unwise steward, he shall be subject to the council and voice of the order, and shall be removed out of his place, and ^aanother shall be appointed in his stead.

  99 Wherefore, now let every man learn his ^aduty, and to act in the office in which he is appointed, in all ^bdiligence.
