2 Nephi 9:4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 53

2 Nephi 9:4

For I know that ye have searched much, many of you,

to know of things to come;

wherefore I know that ye know that our flesh must waste away and die;

nevertheless, in our bodies we shall see God.

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 9:7

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.

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 9:13

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 9:53

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.
