because of the blessings which the Lord God shall bestow upon your children.

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

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.

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 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 9:13

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 9:15

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

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.

because of the atonement;

for they are delivered by the power of him.

O that cunning plan of the evil one!

O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men!

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 9:30

But wo unto the rich, who are rich as to the things of the world.

For because they are rich they despise the poor, and they persecute the meek,

and their hearts are upon their treasures;

wherefore, their treasure is their god.

And behold, their treasure shall perish with them also.

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.

but the righteous fear them not,

for they love the truth and are not shaken.

and he employeth no servant there;

and there is none other way save it be by the gate;

if ye were freed from sin?

and how great his condescensions unto the children of men;

and because of his greatness, and his grace and mercy,

he has promised unto us

that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh,

but that he would preserve them;

and in future generations they shall become

a righteous branch unto the house of Israel.
