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 9:47

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 9:53

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.
