第一百三十一篇

Section 131

一八四三年五月十六日、十七日,在伊利諾,雷慕斯,先知約瑟 • 斯密給予的指示〔教會史,5:392–393〕。

Instructions by Joseph Smith the Prophet, given at Ramus, Illinois, 16 and 17 May 1843 (see History of the Church, 5:392–93).

1–4,要在最高層天中超升,高榮婚姻是必要的;5–6,說明人如何被印證到永生;7–8,所有的靈都是物質。

1–4, Celestial marriage is essential to exaltation in the highest heaven; 5–6, How men are sealed up unto eternal life is explained; 7–8, All spirit is matter.

1高榮榮耀中,有三層天或等級;

1 In the acelestial glory there are three bheavens or degrees;

2 為了得到最高層,人必須進入聖職的這體制(意即婚姻的新永約);

2 And in order to obtain the ahighest, a man must enter into thisborder of the cpriesthood [meaning the new and deverlastingcovenant of emarriage];

3 如果他不這樣做,他就得不到。

3 And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.

4 他可以進入其他層,但那就是他國度的終止;他無法增加

4 He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an aincrease.

5 (一八四三年五月十七日)更確定的預言的意思是人藉著啟示和預言之靈,知道自己經由神聖聖職的能力,被印證永生

5 (May 17th, 1843.) The more sure word of aprophecy means a man’s knowing that he is bsealed up unto ceternal life, by revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy Priesthood.

6 人在無知得救是不可能的。

6 It is impossible for a man to be asaved in bignorance.

7 沒有所謂非物質的物質。所有的都是物質,但它是更細緻或純粹的,只能被純潔的眼辨識;

7 There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All aspirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned bybpurer eyes;

8 我們看不見它;但是當我們的身體被淨化,我們將看見它都是物質。

8 We cannot asee it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all bmatter.
