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.



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 9:13

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 cometh the judgment,

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



2 Nephi 9:16

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;

and their torment is as a lake of fire and brimstone,

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



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 9:18

But, behold, the righteous, the saints of the Holy One of Israel,

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.



2 Nephi 9:21

And he cometh into the world that he may save all men

if they will hearken unto his voice;

for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men,

yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children,

who belong to the family of Adam.



2 Nephi 9:23

And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be baptized in his name,

having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel,

or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.



2 Nephi 9:24

And if they will not repent and believe in his name,

and be baptized in his name, and endure to the end,

they must be damned;

for the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has spoken it.



2 Nephi 9:25

Wherefore, he has given a law;

and where there is no law given there is no punishment;

and where there is no punishment there is no condemnation;

and where there is no condemnation

the mercies of the Holy One of Israel have claim upon them,

because of the atonement;

for they are delivered by the power of him.



2 Nephi 9:26

For the atonement satisfieth the demands of his justice

upon all those who have not the law given to them,

that they are delivered from that awful monster, death and hell, and the devil,

and the lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment;

and they are restored to that God who gave them breath,

which is the Holy One of Israel.



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 9:29

But to be learned is good

if they hearken unto the counsels of God.



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.



2 Nephi 9:31

And wo unto the deaf that will not hear;

for they shall perish.

for they shall perish also.

for they shall be thrust down to hell.

And, in fine, wo unto all those who die in their sins;

for they shall return to God, and behold his face, and remain in their sins.



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 9:42

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 —

yea, they are they whom he despiseth;

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.



2 Nephi 9:53

And behold how great the covenants of the Lord,

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.
