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 9:19

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 9:26

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 9:27

But wo unto him that has the law given,

yea, that has all the commandments of God, like unto us,

and that transgresseth them, and that wasteth the days of his probation,

for awful is his state!

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?
