Scripture

This revelation was given after the conference voted that the revelations were “worth to the Church the riches of the whole Earth.”—Doctrine & Covenants 70 (Section Heading)
Quote
We treasure the word of God not only by reading the words of the scriptures but by studying them. We may be nourished more by pondering a few words, allowing the Holy Ghost to make them treasures to us, than to pass quickly and superficially over whole chapters of scripture.—Henry B. Eyring
