“They May Get Gain and Praise of the World but They Seek Not the Welfare of Zion”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Describing a future day when priestcrafts would abound,

Nephi said:

“For the time speedily shall come that all churches which are built up to get gain, and all those who are built up to get power over the flesh, and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of the world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of the world, and to do all manner of iniquity; yea, in fine, all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake” (1 Nephi 22:23).
