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 Holy Bible (King James version)The LDS Church uses the current edition of the King James Version (KJV) in English-speaking countries, although other versions may be used.
• The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ
• The Doctrine and Covenants
• The Pearl of Great Price

The Standard Works are available as a single binding called a Quadruple Combination. The Standard Works are also available as a set with the Bible in one binding, and the other three books in a second binding called a Triple 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 while the contemporary edition of the Apocrypha was not to be relied on for doctrine, it was potentially useful when read with a spirit of discernment.The Doctrine and Covenants: .
