<​Commandment​> While waiting I made the following remarks; that the time that we were required to tarry in Kirtland, to be endued, would be fulfilled in a few days, and then the elders would go forth and each must stand for himself; that it was not necessary for them to be sent out two by two, as in former times; but to go in all meekness, in sobriety, and preach Jesus Christ and him crucified; not to contend with others on account of their faith, or systems of religion, but pursue a steady course; This I delivered <​Prophecy​> by way of commandment, and all who observe it not will pull down persecution upon their heads, while those who do shall always be filled with the Holy Ghost. This I pronounced as a prophecy, sealed with a hosanna, and Amen.
