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 9:3

Behold, my beloved brethren,

I speak unto you these things

that ye may rejoice, and lift up your heads forever,

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

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 9:9

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 9:13

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 9:27

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 9:28

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 9:29

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.

for they shall perish.

for a knowledge of their iniquities shall smite them at the last day.

for he shall be thrust down to hell.

for he shall die.

for they shall be thrust down to hell.

for the devil of all devils delighteth in them.

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

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 9:42

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 9:45

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.

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 9:48

Behold, if ye were holy I would speak unto you of holiness;

but as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher,

it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin.

2 Nephi 9:51

Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth,

nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy.

Hearken diligently unto me,

and remember the words which I have spoken;

and come unto the Holy One of Israel,

and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted,

and let your soul delight in fatness.

2 Nephi 9:52

Behold, my beloved brethren, remember the words of your God;

pray unto him continually by day,

and give thanks unto his holy name by night.

Let your hearts rejoice.

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.

2 Nephi 9:54

And now, my brethren, I would speak unto you more;

but on the morrow I will declare unto you the remainder of my words.

Amen.
