Doctrine and Covenants 67 “Strip yourselves from jealousies and fears”
At a conference on November 1–2, 1831, church leaders discussed publishing the Book of Commandments and how to testify about the revelations. Several elders signed a statement affirming that the revelations were inspired and true, but some had not yet gained that conviction. The Lord addressed their fears and their concerns about Joseph Smith’s language, challenging them to produce a revelation like the ones before them. The section also promises that the humble may eventually see and know, while urging patience until they are ready.

How these connections are counted
Sources. Scripture text is the public-domain English text of the Doctrine and Covenants (sections 1–138). Section summaries, headings and questions are Weak Things’ own; the Church’s copyrighted headings and footnotes are not used. Joseph Smith Papers links point to the exact manuscript and printed pages. Connections come from the scripture links in every general conference talk from April 2000 through October 2026.
Distinct talks, not mentions. Each talk counts once per verse. Badges show whether the talk cites this exact verse or a passage that includes it, and whether the link is in a footnote or the talk text. Frequency is not a measure of doctrinal importance.
Your own words, their link. Summaries are Weak Things’ own. Talk text, Joseph Smith Papers images and transcriptions are not reproduced; every card links to the original. This independent study tool does not speak for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
