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 9:15

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 9:22

And he suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon all men,

that all might stand before him at the great and judgment day.

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 9:44

O, my beloved brethren, remember my words.

Behold, I take off my garments, and I shake them before you;

I pray the God of my salvation that he view me with his all-searching eye;

wherefore, ye shall know at the last day,

when all men shall be judged of their works,

that the God of Israel did witness

that I shook your iniquities from my soul,

and that I stand with brightness before him,

and am rid of your blood.
