Doctrine & Covenants ( Section 9) : Absurdity (6)

  1. I [Jesus] say to you [Oliver Cowdery]: Because you didn't translate what you wanted to translate, I'll only allow you to be Joseph Smith's scribe. But someday I'll let you translate some other things. 9:1
  2. Because you didn't continue translating, I've taken away your translating privileges. 9:5
  3. Don't whine. It's wise for me to deal with you this way. 9:6
  4. Here's the way to make a decision: Think about it. Then ask me if it's right. If it's right, I'll make your bosom burn, so you'll feel that it's right. 9:8
  5. But if it's not right, you won't have these good feelings. And you'll forget about it. That way, you'll only write sacred things from me. 9:9
  6. If you had known this, you could have translated. But it's not expedient for you to translate now. 9:10
