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 9:17

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 9:19

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 9:28

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 9:39

O, my beloved brethren,

remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God,

and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one.

Remember, to be carnally-minded is death,

and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal.

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 9:44

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 9:46

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.
