“The purpose of the endowment is to prepare for exaltation, not merely to prepare for marriage or a mission.”

Handbook 2: Administering the Church (2010), 5.4.

“The blessing of the endowment is required for full exaltation. Every Latter-day Saint should seek to be worthy of this blessing and to obtain it.”

President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Come to the Temple,” Ensign, Oct. 2007, 21.
