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.

I speak unto you these things
that ye may rejoice, and lift up your heads forever,
because of the blessings which the Lord God shall bestow upon your children.

to know of things to come;
wherefore I know that ye know that our flesh must waste away and die;

to rise no more.

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 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 9:15
And it shall come to pass that
when all men shall have passed from this first death unto life,

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

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;

whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever and has no end.

which was prepared for them from the foundation of the world,
and their joy shall be full forever.

O that cunning plan of the evil one!
O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men!

for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves,
wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not.
And they shall perish.

if they hearken unto the counsels of God.

O, my beloved brethren,
remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God,

and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal.
2 Nephi 9:41
O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One.
Remember that his paths are righteous.

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 9:42
And whoso knocketh, to him will he open;
and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich,
who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches —

and save they shall cast these things away,
and consider themselves fools before God,
and come down in the depths of humility,
he will not open unto them.

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.

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.

pray unto him continually by day,
and give thanks unto his holy name by night.
Let your hearts rejoice.
