Revelation given through Joseph Smith, Jr., in March 1832 at Hiram, Ohio. It is addressed to Frederick G. Williams, who is called to be a high priest and a counselor in the First Presidency. His ordination took place March 18, 1833.
[Sec 80:1a] Verily, verily I say unto you, my servant, Frederick G. Williams,
[Sec 80:1b] Listen to the voice of him who speaketh, to the word of the Lord your God, and hearken to the calling wherewith you are called, even to be a high priest in my church, and a counselor unto my servant, Joseph Smith, Jr.,
[Sec 80:1c] unto whom I have given the keys of the kingdom, which belongeth always unto the Presidency of the high priesthood;
[Sec 80:1d] therefore, verily I acknowledge him and will bless him, and also thee, inasmuch as thou art faithful in council, in the office which I have appointed unto you, in prayer always vocally, and in thy heart, in public and in private;
[Sec 80:1e] also in thy ministry in proclaiming the gospel in the land of the living, and among thy brethren;
[Sec 80:1f] and in doing these things thou wilt do the greatest good unto thy fellow-beings, and will promote the glory of him who is your Lord;
[Sec 80:1g] wherefore, be faithful, stand in the office which I have appointed unto you, succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees:
[Sec 80:1h] and if thou art faithful unto the end thou shalt have a crown of immortality and eternal life in the mansions which I have prepared in the house of my Father.
[Sec 80:1i] Behold, and lo, these are the words of Alpha and Omega, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
