Excerpt

1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you concerning the Apocrypha —There are many things contained therein that are true, and it is mostly translated correctly; 2 There are many things contained therein that are not true, which are interpolations by the hands of men. 3 Verily, I say unto you, that it is not needful that the Apocrypha should be translated . 4 Therefore, whoso readeth it, let him understand , for the Spirit manifesteth truth; 5 And whoso is enlightened by the Spirit shall obtain benefit therefrom; 6 And whoso receiveth not by the Spirit, cannot be benefited. Therefore it is not needful that it should be translated. Amen. BD Apocrypha . TG Record Keeping ; Scriptures, Preservation of . D&C 45:60 (60–61) ; 93:53 . TG Understanding .
