# Moroni 3

*1830 Edition*

**1** The manner which the disciples, which were called the Elders of the church, ordained priests and teachers.

**2** After they had prayed unto the Father in the name of Christ, they laid their hands upon them, and said,

**3** In the name of Jesus Christ I ordain you to be a priest; (or if he be a teacher,) I ordain you to be a teacher, to preach repentance and remission of sins through Jesus Christ, by the endurance of faith on his name to the end. Amen.

**4** And after this manner did they ordain priests and teachers, according to the gifts and callings of God unto men; and they ordained them by the power of the Holy Ghost, which was in them.
