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 9:6

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 9:8

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 9:10

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 9:16

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 9:17

O the greatness and the justice of our God!

for he executeth all his words,

and they have gone forth out of his mouth,

and his law must be fulfilled.

2 Nephi 9:18

But, behold, the righteous, the saints of the Holy One of Israel,

they who have believed in the Holy One of Israel,

they who have endured the crosses of the world, and despised the shame of it,

they shall inherit the kingdom of God,

which was prepared for them from the foundation of the world,

and their joy shall be full forever.

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 9:20

O how great the holiness of our God!

for he knoweth all things,

and there is not anything save he knows it.

2 Nephi 9:21

And he cometh into the world that he may save all men

if they will hearken unto his voice;

for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men,

yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children,

who belong to the family of Adam.

2 Nephi 9:24

And if they will not repent and believe in his name,

and be baptized in his name, and endure to the end,

they must be damned;

for the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has spoken it.

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 9:26

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 9:27

But wo unto him that has the law given,

yea, that has all the commandments of God, like unto us,

and that transgresseth them, and that wasteth the days of his probation,

for awful is his state!

2 Nephi 9:28

O that cunning plan of the evil one!

O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men!

When they are learned they think they are wise,

and they hearken not unto the counsel of God,

for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves,

wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not.

And they shall perish.

2 Nephi 9:30

But wo unto the rich, who are rich as to the things of the world.

for because they are rich they despise the poor, and they persecute the meek,

and their hearts are upon their treasures;

wherefore, their treasure is their god.

And behold, their treasure shall perish with them also.

2 Nephi 9:31

And wo unto the deaf that will not hear;

for they shall perish.

2 Nephi 9:32

Wo unto the blind that will not see;

for they shall perish also.

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 9:34

Wo unto the liar,

for he shall be thrust down to hell.

2 Nephi 9:35

Wo unto the murderer who deliberately killeth,

for he shall die.

2 Nephi 9:36

Wo unto them who commit whoredoms,

for they shall be thrust down to hell.

2 Nephi 9:37

Yea, wo unto those that worship idols,

for the devil of all devils delighteth in them.

2 Nephi 9:38

And, in fine, wo unto all those who die in their sins;

for they shall return to God, and behold his face, and remain in their sins.

2 Nephi 9:40

O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words.

Remember the greatness of the Holy One of Israel.

Do not say that I have spoken hard things against you;

for if ye do, ye will revile against the truth;

for I have spoken the words of your Maker.

I know that the words of truth are hard against all uncleanness;

but the righteous fear them not,

for they love the truth and are not shaken.

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 9:43

But the things of the wise and the prudent shall be hid from them forever —

yea, that happiness which is prepared for the saints.

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 9:51

Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth,

nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy.

Hearken diligently unto me,

and remember the words which I have spoken;

and come unto the Holy One of Israel,

and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted,

and let your soul delight in fatness.
