第一百三十一篇

Section 131

一八四三年五月十六日、十七日，在伊利諾，雷慕斯，先知約瑟 • 斯密給予的指示〔教會史，5:392–393〕。

Instructions by Joseph Smith the Prophet, given at Ramus, Illinois, 16 and 17 May 1843 (see History of the Church, 5:392–93).

1–4，要在最高層天中超升，高榮婚姻是必要的；5–6，說明人如何被印證到永生；7–8，所有的靈都是物質。

1–4, Celestial marriage is essential to exaltation in the highest heaven; 5–6, How men are sealed up unto eternal life is explained; 7–8, All spirit is matter.

1 在^ａ高榮榮耀中，有三層天或等級；

1 In the ^acelestial glory there are three ^bheavens or degrees;

2 為了得到^ａ最高層，人必須進入聖職的這體制（意即^ｂ婚姻的新永約）；

2 And in order to obtain the ^ahighest, a man must enter into this^border of the ^cpriesthood [meaning the new and ^deverlastingcovenant of ^emarriage];

3 如果他不這樣做，他就得不到。

3 And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.

4 他可以進入其他層，但那就是他國度的終止；他無法^ａ增加。

4 He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an ^aincrease.

5 （一八四三年五月十七日）更確定的^ａ預言的意思是人藉著啟示和預言之靈，知道自己經由神聖聖職的能力，被^ｂ印證到^ｃ永生。

5 (May 17th, 1843.) The more sure word of ^aprophecy means a man’s knowing that he is ^bsealed up unto ^ceternal life, by revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy Priesthood.

6 人在^ａ無知中^ｂ得救是不可能的。

6 It is impossible for a man to be ^asaved in ^bignorance.

7 沒有所謂非物質的物質。所有的^ａ靈都是物質，但它是更細緻或純粹的，只能被^ｂ更純潔的眼辨識；

7 There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All ^aspirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by^bpurer eyes;

8 我們看不見它；但是當我們的身體被淨化，我們將看見它都是物質。

8 We cannot ^asee it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all ^bmatter.
