Selected from Joseph Smith Jr.’s August 1st, 1831 revelation
1. Behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
2. Verily, I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause and do many things of their own free will and bring to pass much righteousness;
3. for the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves.
4. And inasmuch as men do good, they shall in nowise lose their reward.
