2 Nephi 26:8

But behold, the righteous that hearken unto the words of the prophets,

and destroy them not, but look forward unto Christ

with steadfastness for the signs which are given,

notwithstanding all persecution —

behold, they are they which shall not perish.

2 Nephi 26:15

After my seed and the seed of my brethren shall have dwindled in unbelief,

and shall have been smitten by the Gentiles;

yea, after the Lord God shall have camped against them round about,

and shall have laid siege against them with a mount, and raised forts against them;

and after they shall have been brought down low in the dust,

even that they are not,

yet the words of the righteous shall be written,

and the prayers of the faithful shall be heard,

and all those who have dwindled in unbelief shall not be forgotten.

2 Nephi 26:17

They shall write the things which shall be done among them,

and they shall be written and sealed up in a book,

and those who have dwindled in unbelief shall not have them,

for they seek to destroy the things of God.

2 Nephi 26:24

for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life

that he may draw all men unto him.

Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.

in the day of the wickedness and abominations of the people.

Wherefore the book shall be kept from them.

But the words which are sealed he shall not deliver,

neither shall he deliver the book.

For the book shall be sealed by the power of God,

and the revelation which was sealed shall be kept in the book

until the own due time of the Lord,

that they may come forth;

for behold, they reveal all things

from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof.

2 Nephi 27:20

The learned shall not read them,

for they have rejected them,

and I am able to do mine own work;

wherefore thou shalt read the words which I shall give unto thee.

2 Nephi 27:33

Therefore, thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham,

concerning the house of Jacob:

Jacob shall not now be ashamed,

neither shall his face now wax pale.
