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

2 Nephi 9:8

O the wisdom of God, his mercy and grace!

to rise no more.

But, behold, the righteous, the saints of the Holy One of Israel,

they who have believed in the Holy One of Israel,

which was prepared for them from the foundation of the world,

and their joy shall be full forever.

2 Nephi 9:21

if they will hearken unto his voice;

yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children,

who belong to the family of Adam.

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.

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.

But behold, my brethren,

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?

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.
