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.
You must rely upon my word, which if you do ... you shall have a view of the plates, and also of the breastplate, the sword of Laban, the Urim and Thummim ... and the miraculous directors. 17:1
Trivia: Three years before his death, Adam gave his last blessing. Where did that occur?
40:1-3 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.
Things were good between me [Jesus] and James Covel. [1]
He said he'd obey me.
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.
But Satan tempted him and he rejected the word.
3 Wherefore he broke my covenant, and it remaineth with me to do with him as seemeth me good. Amen.
So he broke our agreement.
Now I have to decide what to do to him.
Amen.
The LDS church's synopsis for this chapter spells his name "Covill".
