Excerpt
1 Behold, verily I say unto you, that the heart of my servant James Covel was right before me, for he covenanted with me that he would obey my word. 2 And he received the word with gladness, but straightway Satan tempted him; and the fear of persecution and the cares of the world caused him to reject the word. 3 Wherefore he broke my covenant, and it remaineth with me to do with him as seemeth me good. Amen. D&C 39:7 . Mark 4:16 . TG Test . Matt. 13:21 (20–22) . TG Persecution . TG Apostasy of Individuals . D&C 39:10 (7–24) .
