“Agree with Thine Adversary Quickly While Thou Art in the Way with Him Lest at Any Time He Shall Get Thee, and Thou Shalt Be Cast into Prison”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Counsel to avoid law suits and entangling legal difficulties, lest fine and imprisonment result, is directed particularly to the apostles and missionaries as they go forth to carry the gospel message to a wicked world.

It is more important that they suffer legal wrongs than that their ministries be hindered or halted by legal processes.“ (Bruce R. McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary 1:223.)”
