Image:Latter-day Saint Scripture Quadruple Combination.jpg Image:Standard Works Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.jpg The Standard Works of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) consists of several books that constitute its open scriptural canon, and include the following:

*The LDS Church uses the current edition of the King James Version (KJV) in English-speaking countries, although other versions may be used.

The Standard Works are available as a single binding called a Quadruple Combination. Current editions of the standard works include a Bible dictionary, photographs, maps and gazeteer, topical guide, index, footnotes, cross references, excerpts from the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible (JST) and other study aids.

The Church does not currently use the Apocrypha as part of its canon, although the Apocrypha was part of the 1611 edition of the KJV. Joseph Smith taught that the contemporary edition of the Apocrypha had been corrupted as he believed the KJV to be [1], but it was not included in his retranslation of the Bible (see Joseph Smith Translation) and not relied on for doctrine.
