Verse 1
- "Name." The word name occurs 6 times in this section, twice in verse 1 and once in verses 3, 6, and 44.
- "Commandment." The word "commandment" occurs 7 times in the first 69 verses (which was received as one revelation): in verses 1, 3, 4, 5, 29, 32, and 58. It also occurs in verse 78. The plural form, commandments, occurs in verses 1, 29, 32 and 78 whereas the singular form, commandment occurs in verses 3, 4, 5, and 58.
Verse 4

Verse 6
- "Preach." The word preach occurs twice in this section, once here and once in verse 11.
Verse 9

- "Gathered in one." This phrase occurs twice in this section—here in verse 9 and again in verse 36. The word gathered does not occur again in this section.
Questions for further study and reflection
- Does verse 9 imply that the missionary effort will end when the gathering to the New Jerusalem begins?
