2 Nephi 9:1

And now, my beloved brethren,

I have read these things that ye might know concerning the covenants of the Lord

that he has covenanted with all the house of Israel —

2 Nephi 9:3

Behold, my beloved brethren,

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.

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 9:10

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 9:11

And because of the way of deliverance of our God, the Holy One of Israel,

this death, of which I have spoken, which is the temporal,

shall deliver up its dead; which death is the grave.

2 Nephi 9:12

And this death of which I have spoken, which is the spiritual death,

shall deliver up its dead; which spiritual death is hell;

wherefore, death and hell must deliver up their dead,

and hell must deliver up its captive spirits,

and the grave must deliver up its captive bodies,

and the bodies and the spirits of men will be restored one to the other;

and it is by the power of the resurrection of the Holy One of Israel.

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 9:44

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 9:46

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 9:47

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?

2 Nephi 9:48

Behold, if ye were holy I would speak unto you of holiness;

but as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher,

it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin.

2 Nephi 9:49

Behold, my soul abhorreth sin,

and my heart delighteth in righteousness;

and I will praise the holy name of my God.

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.

2 Nephi 9:54

And now, my brethren, I would speak unto you more;

but on the morrow I will declare unto you the remainder of my words.

Amen.
