2 Nephi 30:1

And now behold, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto you;

for I, Nephi, would not suffer that ye should suppose

that ye are more righteous than the Gentiles shall be.

For behold, except ye shall keep the commandments of God

ye shall all likewise perish;

and because of the words which have been spoken

ye need not suppose that the Gentiles are utterly destroyed.


2 Nephi 30:2

For behold, I say unto you

that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the covenant people of the Lord;

and as many of the Jews as will not repent shall be cast off;

for the Lord covenanteth with none

save it be with them that repent

and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.


2 Nephi 30:3

And now, I would prophesy somewhat more concerning the Jews and the Gentiles.

For after the book of which I have spoken shall come forth,

and be written unto the Gentiles,

and sealed up again unto the Lord,

there shall be many which shall believe the words which are written;

and they shall carry them forth unto the remnant of our seed.


2 Nephi 30:4

And then shall the remnant of our seed know concerning us,

how that we came out from Jerusalem,

and that they are descendants of the Jews.


2 Nephi 30:5

And the gospel of Jesus Christ shall be declared among them;

wherefore, they shall be restored unto the knowledge of their fathers,

and also to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, which was had among their fathers.


2 Nephi 30:6

And then shall they rejoice;

for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God;

and their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes;

and many generations shall not pass away among them,

save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people.


2 Nephi 30:7

And it shall come to pass that the Jews which are scattered

also shall begin to believe in Christ;

and they shall begin to gather in upon the face of the land;

and as many as shall believe in Christ shall also become a delightsome people.


2 Nephi 30:8

And it shall come to pass that

the Lord God shall commence his work

among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people,

to bring about the restoration of his people upon the earth.
