SCRIPTURES: DILIGENCE

Alma 38:3

  • Book of Mormon
I say unto you, my son, that I have had great joy in thee already, because of thy faithfulness and thy diligence, and thy patience and thy long-suffering among the people of the Zoramites. 

D&C 4:6

  • Doctrine and Covenants

2 Peter 1:5

  • New Testament

2 Peter 1:10

  • New Testament

Proverbs 4:23

  • Old Testament

D&C 130:19

  • Doctrine and Covenants
And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come. 

3 Nephi 5:3

  • Book of Mormon
Therefore they did forsake all their sins, and their abominations, and their whoredoms, and did serve God with all diligence day and night



I think that diligence means to work, and to put your heart into it and to do your task FULLY without giving up. :)

And when you really out your heart into getting something done, that's when knowledge becomes wisdom.
