2 Nephi 25:3

Wherefore, I write unto my people,

unto all those that shall receive hereafter these things which I write,

that they may know the judgments of God,

that they come upon all nations, according to the word which he hath spoken.

2 Nephi 25:4

Wherefore, hearken, O my people, which are of the house of Israel,

and give ear unto my words;

for because the words of Isaiah are not plain unto you,

nevertheless they are plain unto all those that are filled with the spirit of prophecy.

But I give unto you a prophecy, according to the spirit which is in me;

wherefore I shall prophesy according to the plainness

which hath been with me from the time that I came out from Jerusalem with my father;

for behold, my soul delighteth in plainness unto my people, that they may learn.

2 Nephi 25:26

And we talk of Christ,

we rejoice in Christ,

we preach of Christ,

we prophesy of Christ,

and we write according to our prophecies,

that our children may know to what source they may look

for a remission of their sins.

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 26:29

He commandeth that there shall be no priestcrafts;

for, behold, priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up

for a light unto the world,

that they may get gain and praise of the world;

but they seek not the welfare of Zion.

2 Nephi 27:10

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.
