2 Nephi 28:2

And the things which shall be written out of the book

shall be of great worth unto the children of men,

and especially unto our seed, which is a remnant of the house of Israel.

2 Nephi 28:6

Behold, hearken ye unto my precept;

if they shall say there is a miracle wrought by the hand of the Lord,

believe it not;

for this day he is not a God of miracles;

he hath done his work.

2 Nephi 28:8

And there shall also be many which shall say:

Eat, drink, and be merry;

nevertheless, fear God —

he will justify in committing a little sin;

yea, lie a little,

take the advantage of one because of his words,

dig a pit for thy neighbor;

there is no harm in this;

and do all these things, for tomorrow we die;

and if it so be that we are guilty,

God will beat us with a few stripes,

and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

2 Nephi 28:14

They wear stiff necks and high heads;

yea, and because of pride, and wickedness, and abominations, and whoredoms,

they have all gone astray

save it be a few, who are the humble followers of Christ;

nevertheless, they are led, that in many instances they do err

because they are taught by the precepts of men.

2 Nephi 28:16

Wo unto them that turn aside the just for a thing of naught

and revile against that which is good,

and say that it is of no worth!

For the day shall come

that the Lord God will speedily visit the inhabitants of the earth;

and in that day that they are fully ripe in iniquity they shall perish.

2 Nephi 28:23

Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil,

and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God,

and be judged according to their works,

from whence they must go into the place prepared for them,

even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

2 Nephi 28:28

And in fine, wo unto all those

who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God!

For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness;

and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall.

2 Nephi 28:30

For behold, thus saith the Lord God:

I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept,

here a little and there a little;

and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts,

and lend an ear unto my counsel,

for they shall learn wisdom;

for unto him that receiveth I will give more;

and from them that shall say, We have enough,

from them shall be taken away even that which they have.

2 Nephi 29:1

But behold, there shall be many —

at that day when I shall proceed to do a marvelous work among them,

that I may remember my covenants which I have made unto the children of men,

that I may set my hand again the second time

to recover my people, which are of the house of Israel;

2 Nephi 29:2

And also, that I may remember the promises

which I have made unto thee, Nephi, and also unto thy father,

that I would remember your seed;

and that the words of your seed should proceed forth

out of my mouth unto your seed;

and my words shall hiss forth unto the ends of the earth,

for a standard unto my people, which are of the house of Israel;

2 Nephi 29:3

many of the Gentiles shall say:

a Bible! a Bible! We have got a Bible,

and there cannot be any more Bible.

2 Nephi 29:4

But thus saith the Lord God:

O fools, they shall have a Bible;

and it shall proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant people.

And what thank they the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them?

Yea, what do the Gentiles mean?

Do they remember the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews,

and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?

2 Nephi 29:6

Thou fool, that shall say:

a Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible.

Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews?

2 Nephi 29:8

Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word?

Know ye not that the testimony of two nations

is a witness unto you that I am God,

that I remember one nation like unto another?

Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another.

And when the two nations shall run together

the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.

2 Nephi 29:10

Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible

ye need not suppose that it contains all my words;

neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written.

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.

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.

that the Lord God shall cause a great division among the people,

and the wicked will he destroy; and he will spare his people,

yea, even if it so be that he must destroy the wicked by fire.

And then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb;

and the leopard shall lie down with the kid,

and the calf, and the young lion, and the fatling, together;

and a little child shall lead them.

2 Nephi 30:18

Wherefore, all things which have been revealed unto the children of men

shall at that day be revealed;

and Satan shall have power over the hearts of the children of men no more,

for a long time.

And now, my beloved brethren, I make an end of my sayings.
