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 9:6

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 9:11

And because of the way of deliverance of our God, the Holy One of Israel,

this death, of which I have spoken, which is the temporal,

shall deliver up its dead; which death is the grave.

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 9:30

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 9:42

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.
