2 Nephi 9:5, 6, 7
2 Nephi 9:5
Yea, I know that ye know that in the body he shall show himself
unto those at Jerusalem, from whence we came;
for it is expedient that it should be among them;
for it behooveth the great Creator that he suffereth himself
to become subject unto man in the flesh, and die for all men,
that all men might become subject unto him.
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 9:7
Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement —
save it should be an infinite atonement
this corruption could not put on incorruption.
Wherefore, the first judgment which came upon man
must needs have remained to an endless duration.
And if so, this flesh must have laid down to rot
and to crumble to its mother earth, to rise no more.
