What is the difference between priestcraft and priesthood?

Thomas R. Valletta

Review the definition of priestcraft in 2 Nephi 26:29 and compare it with President Joseph F. Smith’s description of priesthood as “the power of God delegated to man by which man can act in the earth for the salvation of the human family” (Gospel Doctrine, 139).

What do you see as the most significant distinction between someone who practices priestcraft and one who honors and exercises priesthood?
