Joseph Smith, Jr.The Book of Mormon is true, just what it purports to be, and for this testimony I expect to give an account in the day of judgment.
Joseph Smith, Jr.It is a false idea that the Saints will escape all the judgments, whilst the wicked suffer; for all flesh is subject to suffer and โthe righteous shall hardly escape.โ โฆSo that is an unhallowed principle to say that such and such have transgressed because they have been preyed upon by disease or death, for all flesh is subject to death; and the Savior has said, โjudge not, lest ye be judged.
Joseph Smith, Jr.We ought at all times to be very careful that high-mindedness shall never have place in our hearts.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
