2 Nephi 4:17

Nevertheless, notwithstanding the great goodness of the Lord,

in showing me his great and marvelous works,

my heart exclaimeth:

O wretched man that I am!

Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh;

my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities.

2 Nephi 4:21

He hath filled me with his love,

even unto the consuming of my flesh.

2 Nephi 4:26

O then, if I have seen so great things,

if the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men

hath visited men in so much mercy,

why should my heart weep

and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow,

and my flesh waste away,

and my strength slacken, because of mine afflictions?

2 Nephi 4:27

And why should I yield to sin, because of my flesh?

Yea, why should I give way to temptations,

that the evil one have place in my heart

to destroy my peace and afflict my soul?

Why am I angry because of mine enemy?
