D&C Section 76:7l-m
Section 76:7l 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; for these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas;
Section 76:7m 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 Esais, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch, but received not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets; neither the everlasting covenant;

76:6b these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glory differs from that of the church of the Firstborn, who have received the fullness of the Father, even as that of the moon differs from the sun of the firmament.
76:6c Behold, these are they who died without law; and also they who are the spirits of men kept in prison, whom the Son visited, and preached the gospel unto them, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it;
76:6d these are they who are honorable men of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men:
76:6e these are they who receive of his glory, but not of his fullness;
76:6f these are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fullness of the Father; wherefore they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun;
76:6g these are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore they obtained not the crown over the kingdom of our God.

1 Corinthians 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

D&C Section 76:5a-r
76:5a And again, we bear record for we saw and heard, and this is the testimony of the gospel of Christ, concerning them who come forth in the resurrection of the just:
76:5b They are they who received the testimony of Jesus, and believed on his name, and were baptized after the manner of his burial, being buried in the water in his name, and this according to the commandment which he has given, that by keeping the commandments, they might be washed and cleansed from all their sins,
76:5c and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of the hands of him who is ordained and sealed unto this power;
76:5d and who overcome by faith, and are sealed by that Holy Spirit of promise, which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just and true;
76:5e they are they who are the church of the Firstborn;
76:5f they are they into whose hands the Father has given all things:
76:5g they are they who are priests and kings, who have received of his fullness, and of his glory, and are priests of the Most High after the order of Melchisedec, which was after the order of Enoch, which was after the order of the only begotten Son:
76:5h wherefore, as it is written, they are gods, even the sons of God; wherefore all 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; and they shall overcome all things;
76:5i wherefore let no man glory in man, but rather let him glory in God, who shall subdue all enemies under his feet;
76:5j these shall dwell in the presence of God and his Christ for ever and ever:
76:5k these are they whom he shall bring with him, when he shall come in the clouds of heaven, to reign on the earth over his people;
76:5l these are they who shall have part in the first resurrection;
76:5m these are they who shall come forth in the resurrection of the just;
76:5n these are they who are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all;
76:5o these are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels; to the general assembly and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn;
76:5p these are they whose names are written in heaven, where God and Christ are the judge of all;
76:5q these are they who are just men made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood;
76:5r these are they whose bodies are celestial, whose glory is that of the sun, even the glory of God the highest of all; whose glory the sun of the firmament is written of as being typical.
