GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES
Priestcraft

Men preaching and setting themselves up for a light to the world that they may get gain and praise of the world; they do not seek the welfare of Zion (2 Ne. 26: 29).

Feed the flock of God, not for filthy lucre, 1 Pet. 5: 2. Churches which are built up to get gain must be brought low, 1 Ne. 22: 23 (Morm. 8: 32-41). Because of priestcrafts and iniquities, Jesus will be crucified, 2 Ne. 10: 5. Were priestcraft to be enforced among this people it would prove their entire destruction, Alma 1: 12. The Gentiles shall be filled with all manner of priestcrafts, 3 Ne. 16: 10.
