Mormon Polygamy—The Truth Revealed! Appendix 2- And as ye have asked concerning adultery, verily, verily, I say unto
you, if a man and woman enter into the bonds of marriage in the new and
everlasting covenant, and if they be with another, whom I have not
appointed unto them by the holy anointing, they have committed adultery
and shall be destroyed in the flesh.
42 If she be not in the new and everlasting covenant, and she be with another man,
she has committed adultery.
- And if the woman be with another man, and he was not given unto her in
the new and everlasting covenant, she hath broken her vow and committed
adultery.
43 And if her husband be with another woman, and he was under a vow, he hath

husband another who hath not committed adultery.
45 For I have conferred upon you the keys and power of the priesthood, wherein I
restore all things, and make known unto you all things in due time.
- And neither a man nor a woman, whose spouse hath committed adultery,
can choose another who is already married, unless it is revealed unto my
servant, Joseph. For I have conferred upon him the keys and power of the
priesthood, wherein I have restored all things in their proper order according
to my law. And all things which have not yet been restored, I will make
