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 9:4

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 9:6

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 9:8

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 9:9

And our spirits must have become like unto him,

and we become devils, angels to a devil,

to be shut out from the presence of our God,

and to remain with the father of lies,

in misery, like unto himself;

yea, to that being who beguiled our first parents,

who transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of light,

and stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations of murder

and all manner of secret works of darkness.

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 9:13

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 9:21

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 9:24

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 9:26

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 9:29

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 9:34

Wo unto the liar,

for he shall be thrust down to hell.

2 Nephi 9:36

Wo unto them who commit whoredoms,

for they shall be thrust down to hell.

2 Nephi 9:38

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 9:39

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 9:42

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 9:46

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 9:50

Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters;

and he that hath no money, come buy and eat;

yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price.

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.
