"And
if Joseph Smith have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot
commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given
unto him; therefore he is justified for they are given unto
him to multiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment,
and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation
of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that
they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my
Father continued, that he may be glorified."
- Doctrine and Covenants 132:62-63
