2 Nephi 27:16, 33



2 Nephi 25:1

now I, Nephi, do speak somewhat

concerning the words which I have written,

which have been spoken by the mouth of Isaiah.

For behold, Isaiah spake many things which were hard

for many of my people to understand;

for they know not concerning the manner of prophesying among the Jews.



2 Nephi 25:11

And now this I speak because of the spirit which is in me.

And notwithstanding they have been carried away

they shall return again, and possess the land of Jerusalem;

wherefore, they shall be restored again to the land of their inheritance.



2 Nephi 25:20

And now, my brethren, I have spoken plainly that ye cannot err.

And as the Lord God liveth that brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt,

and gave unto Moses power that he should heal the nations

after they had been bitten by the poisonous serpents,

if they would cast their eyes unto the serpent which he did raise up before them,

and also gave him power that he should smite the rock

and the water should come forth;

yea, behold I say unto you, that as these things are true,

and as the Lord God liveth,

there is none other name given under heaven

save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken,

whereby man can be saved.



2 Nephi 25:28

And now behold, my people, ye are a stiffnecked people;

wherefore, I have spoken plainly unto you,

that ye cannot misunderstand.

And the words which I have spoken shall stand as a testimony against you;

for they are sufficient to teach any man the right way;

for the right way is to believe in Christ and deny him not;

for by denying him ye also deny the prophets and the law.



2 Nephi 25:29

And now behold, I say unto you

that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not;

and Christ is the Holy One of Israel;

wherefore ye must bow down before him,

and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul;

and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out.



2 Nephi 27:16

And now, because of the glory of the world and to get gain will they say this,

and not for the glory of God.



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.
