D&C 76:50-113

 50 And again we bear record—for we asaw and heard, and this is the btestimony of the cgospel of Christ concerning them who shall come forth in the resurrection of the djust
 51 They are they who received the atestimony of Jesus, andbbelieved on his name and were cbaptized after the dmanner of his burial, being eburied in the water in his name, and this according to the commandment which he has given—
 52 That by akeeping the commandments they might be bwashedand ccleansed from all their sins, and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of the dhands of him who is eordained and sealed unto this power;
 53 And who aovercome by faith, and are bsealed by the Holy Spirit of cpromise, which the Father dsheds forth upon all those who are just and true.
 54 They are they who are the achurch of the bFirstborn.
 55 They are they into whose hands the Father has given aallthings—
 56 They are they who are apriests and bkings, who have received of his fulness, and of his glory;
 57 And are apriests of the Most High, after the order of Melchizedek, which was after the order of bEnoch, which was after the corder of the Only Begotten Son.
 58 Wherefore, as it is written, they are agods, even the bsons ofcGod
 59 Wherefore, aall things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
 60 And they shall aovercome all things.
 61 Wherefore, let no man aglory in man, but rather let him bgloryin God, who shall csubdue all enemies under his feet.
 62 These shall adwell in the bpresence of God and his Christ forever and ever.
 63 These are they whom he shall bring with him, when he shallacome in the bclouds of heaven to creign on the earth over his people.
 64 These are they who shall have part in the afirst resurrection.
 65 These are they who shall come forth in the resurrection of theajust.
 66 These are they who are come unto aMount bZion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
 67 These are they who have come to an innumerable company ofaangels, to the general assembly and church of bEnoch, and of thecFirstborn.
 68 These are they whose names are awritten in heaven, where God and Christ are the bjudge of all.
 69 These are they who are ajust men made bperfect through Jesus the mediator of the cnew covenant, who wrought out this perfectdatonement through the shedding of his own eblood.
 70 These are they whose bodies are acelestial, whose bglory is that of the csun, even the glory of God, the dhighest of all, whose glory the sun of the firmament is written of as being typical.
 71 And again, we saw the aterrestrial world, and behold and lo, these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glory differs from that of the church of the bFirstborn who have received the fulness of the Father, even as that of the cmoon differs from the sun in the firmament.
 72 Behold, these are they who died awithout blaw;
 73 And also they who are the aspirits of men kept in bprison, whom the Son visited, and cpreached the dgospel unto them, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh;
 74 Who areceived not the btestimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it.
 75 These are they who are ahonorable men of the earth, who werebblinded by the craftiness of men.
 76 These are they who receive of his glory, but not of his fulness.
 77 These are they who receive of the apresence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father.
 78 Wherefore, they are abodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.
 79 These are they who are not avaliant in the btestimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
 80 And now this is the end of the avision which we saw of the terrestrial, that the Lord commanded us to bwrite while we were yet in the Spirit.
 81 And again, we asaw the glory of the btelestial, which glory is that of the lesser, even as the cglory of the stars differs from that of the glory of the moon in the firmament.
 82 These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the atestimony of Jesus.
 83 These are they who adeny not the Holy Spirit.
 84 These are they who are thrust down to ahell.
 85 These are they who shall not be redeemed from the adevil until the blast resurrection, until the Lord, even Christ the cLamb, shall have finished his work.
 86 These are they who receive not of his fulness in the eternal world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministration of the terrestrial;
 87 And the terrestrial through the aministration of the celestial.
 88 And also the telestial receive it of the administering of angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed to be aministering spirits for them; for they shall be bheirs of salvation.
 89 And thus we saw, in the heavenly vision, the glory of theatelestial, which surpasses all understanding;
 90 And no man knows it except him to whom God has revealed it.
 91 And thus we saw the glory of the aterrestrial which excels in all things the glory of the telestial, even in glory, and in power, and in might, and in dominion.
 92 And thus we saw the aglory of the celestial, which bexcels in all things—where God, even the Father, reigns upon his cthroneforever and ever;
 93 Before whose throne all things bow in humble areverence, and give him glory forever and ever.
 94 They who dwell in his apresence are the church of thebFirstborn; and they see as they are seen, and cknow as they are known, having received of his fulness and of his dgrace;
 95 And he makes them aequal in power, and in might, and in dominion.
 96 And the glory of the celestial is one, even as the glory of theasun is one.
 97 And the glory of the terrestrial is one, even as the glory of the moon is one.
 98 And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world;
 99 For these are they who are of aPaul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas.
 100 These are they who say they are some of one and some of another—some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and some of Elias, and some of aEsaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch;
 101 But areceived not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets, neither the beverlasting covenant.
 102 Last of all, these all are they who will not be agathered with the saints, to be bcaught up unto the cchurch of the Firstborn, and received into the cloud.
 103 These are athey who are bliars, and csorcerers, anddadulterers, and ewhoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
 104 These are they who suffer the awrath of God on earth.
 105 These are they who suffer the avengeance of eternal fire.
 106 These are they who are cast down to ahell and bsuffer the wrath of cAlmighty God, until the dfulness of times, when Christ shall have esubdued all enemies under his ffeet, and shall havegperfected his work;
 107 When he shall adeliver up the bkingdom, and present it unto the Father, spotless, saying: I have covercome and have dtroddenthe ewine-press falone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.
 108 Then shall he be acrowned with the crown of his glory, to sit on the bthrone of his power to reign forever and ever.
 109 But behold, and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of the telestial world, that they were as ainnumerable as the stars in the firmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the seashore;
 110 And heard the voice of the Lord saying: These all shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall aconfess to him who sits upon the throne forever and ever;
 111 For they shall be judged according to their aworks, and every man shall receive according to his own bworks, his own cdominion, in the dmansions which are prepared;
 112 And they shall be aservants of the Most High; but bwhere God and Christ cdwell they dcannot come, eworlds without end.
 113 This is the end of the vision which we saw, which we were commanded to write while we were yet in the Spirit.
