I was studying D&C 25:7 today and decided to use the dictionary to clarify two terms, Expound & Exhort. The modern dictionary’s definition I found to be sorely lacking, so I turned to the 1828 Webster’s version. #ComeUntoChrist #ScriptureStudy
Expound: To explain; to lay open the meaning; to clear of obscurity; to interpret
Exhort: to encourage, to embolden, to cheer, to advise. The primary sense seems to be to excite or to give strength, spirit or courage.
So to expound on the scriptures means to explain them, to find their meaning, and to clear them from obscurity.

Exhorting the church means to encourage, cheer, and advise, give strength and courage to its members.
