2 Nephi 9:6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 25, 33, 41, 46, 48, 53



2 Nephi 9:6

For as death hath passed upon all men,

to fulfil the merciful plan of the great Creator,

there must needs be a power of resurrection,

and the resurrection must needs come unto man by reason of the fall;

and the fall came by reason of transgression;

and because man became fallen

they were cut off from the presence of the Lord.



2 Nephi 9:9

And our spirits must have become like unto him,

and we become devils, angels to a devil,

to be shut out from the presence of our God,

and to remain with the father of lies,

in misery, like unto himself;

yea, to that being who beguiled our first parents,

who transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of light,

and stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations of murder

and all manner of secret works of darkness.



2 Nephi 9:10

O how great the goodness of our God,

who prepareth a way for our escape from the grasp of this awful monster;

yea, that monster, death and hell,

which I call the death of the body, and also the death of the spirit.



2 Nephi 9:13

O how great the plan of our God!

For on the other hand,

the paradise of God must deliver up the spirits of the righteous,

and the grave deliver up the body of the righteous;

and the spirit and the body is restored to itself again,

and all men become incorruptible, and immortal,

and they are living souls,

having a perfect knowledge like unto us in the flesh,

save it be that our knowledge shall be perfect.



2 Nephi 9:14

Wherefore, we shall have a perfect knowledge of all our guilt,

and our uncleanness, and our nakedness;

and the righteous shall have a perfect knowledge

of their enjoyment, and their righteousness,

being clothed with purity,

yea, even with the robe of righteousness.



2 Nephi 9:16

And assuredly, as the Lord liveth,

for the Lord God hath spoken it,

and it is his eternal word, which cannot pass away,

that they who are righteous shall be righteous still,

and they who are filthy shall be filthy still;

wherefore, they who are filthy are the devil and his angels;

and they shall go away into everlasting fire, prepared for them;

and their torment is as a lake of fire and brimstone,

whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever and has no end.



2 Nephi 9:25

Wherefore, he has given a law;

and where there is no law given there is no punishment;

and where there is no punishment there is no condemnation;

and where there is no condemnation

the mercies of the Holy One of Israel have claim upon them,

because of the atonement;

for they are delivered by the power of him.



2 Nephi 9:33

Wo unto the uncircumcised of heart,

for a knowledge of their iniquities shall smite them at the last day.



2 Nephi 9:41

O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One.

Remember that his paths are righteous.

Behold, the way for man is narrow,

but it lieth in a straight course before him,

and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel;

and he employeth no servant there;

and there is none other way save it be by the gate;

for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name.



2 Nephi 9:46

Prepare your souls for that glorious day

when justice shall be administered unto the righteous,

even the day of judgment,

that ye may not shrink with awful fear;

that ye may not remember your awful guilt in perfectness,

and be constrained to exclaim:

Holy, holy are thy judgments, O Lord God Almighty —

but I know my guilt;

I transgressed thy law, and my transgressions are mine;

and the devil hath obtained me,

that I am a prey to his awful misery.



2 Nephi 9:48

Behold, if ye were holy I would speak unto you of holiness;

but as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher,

it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin.



2 Nephi 9:53

And behold how great the covenants of the Lord,

and how great his condescensions unto the children of men;

and because of his greatness, and his grace and mercy,

he has promised unto us

that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh,

but that he would preserve them;

and in future generations they shall become

a righteous branch unto the house of Israel.
