TABLE 4
The Kirtland Temple Endowment Compared With the Nauvoo Period Temple Ordinances
"The order of the house of God has been, and ever will be, the same." -- Joseph Smith
Those ordinances administered or taught in both Temples are not italicized. Those ordinances either formalized in or unique to the Nauvoo Temple period are italicized. Note that the Nauvoo Temple ordinances perfectly fit within the essential framework of ordinances revealed during the Kirtland period (ordinances labeled 1, 3, 4 and 10). Although they do represent a considerable amplification of the Kirtland ordinances, the Nauvoo ordinances do not, however, change the order of the ordinances first administered in Kirtland.
