2 Nephi 25:7

But behold, I proceed with mine own prophecy, according to my plainness;

in the which I know that no man can err;

nevertheless, in the days that the prophecies of Isaiah shall be fulfilled

men shall know of a surety, at the times when they shall come to pass.

2 Nephi 25:8

Wherefore, they are of worth unto the children of men,

and he that supposeth that they are not,

unto them will I speak particularly,

and confine the words unto mine own people;

for I know that they shall be of great worth unto them in the last days;

for in that day shall they understand them;

wherefore, for their good have I written them.

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 26:24

He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world;

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.

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.

2 Nephi 27:20

Then shall the Lord God say unto him:

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 27:21

Touch not the things which are sealed,

for I will bring them forth in mine own due time;

for I will show unto the children of men that I am able to do mine own work.

2 Nephi 27:22

Wherefore, when thou hast read the words which I have commanded thee,

and obtained the witnesses which I have promised unto thee,

then shalt thou seal up the book again, and hide it up unto me,

that I may preserve the words which thou hast not read,

until I shall see fit in mine own wisdom

to reveal all things unto the children of men.
