2 Nephi 26:20
And the Gentiles are lifted up in the pride of their eyes,
and have stumbled, because of the greatness of their stumbling block,
that they have built up many churches;
nevertheless, they put down the power and miracles of God,
and preach up unto themselves their own wisdom and their own learning,
that they may get gain and grind upon the face of the poor.
2 Nephi 26:21
And there are many churches built up
which cause envyings, and strifes, and malice.
2 Nephi 26:22
And there are also secret combinations, even as in times of old,
according to the combinations of the devil,
for he is the founder of all these things;
yea, the founder of murder, and works of darkness;
yea, and he leadeth them by the neck with a flaxen cord,
until he bindeth them with his strong cords forever.
2 Nephi 26:23
For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you
that the Lord God worketh not in darkness.
