2 Nephi 9:2

That he has spoken unto the Jews, by the mouth of his holy prophets,

even from the beginning down, from generation to generation,

until the time comes that they shall be restored

to the true church and fold of God;

when they shall be gathered home to the lands of their inheritance,

and shall be established in all their lands of promise.

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 9:9

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 9:15

And it shall come to pass that

when all men shall have passed from this first death unto life,

insomuch as they have become immortal,

they must appear before the judgment-seat of the Holy One of Israel;

and then cometh the judgment,

and then must they be judged according to the holy judgment of God.

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 9:26

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 9:43

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 9:44

O, my beloved brethren, remember my words.

Behold, I take off my garments, and I shake them before you;

I pray the God of my salvation that he view me with his all-searching eye;

wherefore, ye shall know at the last day,

when all men shall be judged of their works,

that the God of Israel did witness

that I shook your iniquities from my soul,

and that I stand with brightness before him,

and am rid of your blood.

2 Nephi 9:45

O, my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins;

shake off the chains of him that would bind you fast;

come unto that God who is the rock of your salvation.

2 Nephi 9:47

But behold, my brethren,

is it expedient that I should awake you to an awful reality of these things?

Would I harrow up your souls if your minds were pure?

Would I be plain unto you according to the plainness of the truth

if ye were freed from sin?
