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 9:7

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 9:48

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.
