- D&C 130: 19... And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come
- “The sacrifices you have made, the hardships you have endured and the privations you have suffered will … sink into insignificance, and you will rejoice that you have obtained the experience which they have furnished. … Some things we have to learn by that which we suffer, and knowledge secured in that way, though the process may be painful, will be of great value to us in the other life…” Chapter 7: Faithfulness in Times of Trial: “From the Shadows into the Glorious Sunshine”
- “As Joseph spoke, William wrote down as much of the sermon as he could in his diary. He was drawn to the profound truths Joseph shared and hungered to know more. William recorded Joseph’s teaching that the knowledge and intelligence people acquired in life rose with them in the Resurrection. If a person gains more knowledge in this life, through his diligence and obedience, than another. Joseph explained, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come.” History, Saints 1:40, United in an Everlasting Covenant
