2 Nephi 9:8

O the wisdom of God, his mercy and grace!

For behold, if the flesh should rise no more

our spirits must become subject to that angel

who fell from before the presence of the Eternal God,

and became the devil,

to rise no more.

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 9:16

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 9:19

O the greatness of the mercy of our God, the Holy One of Israel!

For he delivereth his saints from that awful monster the devil, and death, and hell,

and that lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

2 Nephi 9:26

For the atonement satisfieth the demands of his justice

upon all those who have not the law given to them,

that they are delivered from that awful monster, death and hell, and the devil,

and the lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment;

and they are restored to that God who gave them breath,

which is the Holy One of Israel.

2 Nephi 9:37

Yea, wo unto those that worship idols,

for the devil of all devils delighteth in them.

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.
