2 Nephi 10:20

And now, my beloved brethren,

seeing that our merciful God has given us

so great knowledge concerning these things,

let us remember him, and lay aside our sins, and not hang down our heads,

for we are not cast off;

nevertheless, we have been driven out of the land of our inheritance;

but we have been led to a better land,

for the Lord has made the sea our path,

and we are upon an isle of the sea.


2 Nephi 10:21

But great are the promises of the Lord unto them

who are upon the isles of the sea;

wherefore as it says isles, there must needs be more than this,

and they are inhabited also by our brethren.


2 Nephi 10:22

For behold, the Lord God has led away from time to time

from the house of Israel, according to his will and pleasure.

And now behold, the Lord remembereth all them who have been broken off,

wherefore he remembereth us also.


2 Nephi 10:23

Therefore, cheer up your hearts,

and remember that ye are free to act for yourselves —

to choose the way of everlasting death or the way of eternal life.


2 Nephi 10:24

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God,

and not to the will of the devil and the flesh;

and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God,

that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved.


2 Nephi 10:25

Wherefore, may God raise you from death by the power of the resurrection,

and also from everlasting death by the power of the atonement,

that ye may be received into the eternal kingdom of God,

that ye may praise him through grace divine.

Amen.
