    11Again I say unto you, that it shall not be given to any one to go forth to preach my gospel, or to build up my church, except he be ordained by some one who has authority, and it is known to the church that he has authority and has been regularly ordained by the heads of the church.
    12And again, the elders, priests and teachers of this church shall teach the principles of my gospel, which are in the Bible and the Book of Mormon, in the which is the fulness of the gospel.
    13And they shall observe the covenants and church articles to do them, and these shall be their teachings, as they shall be directed by the Spirit.
    14And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach.
    15And all this ye shall observe to do as I have commanded concerning your teaching, until the fulness of my scriptures is given.
