Eat, drink, and be merry,

for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us.



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 28:9

Yea, and there shall be many

which shall teach after this manner, false and vain and foolish doctrines,

and shall be puffed up in their hearts,

and shall seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord;

and their works shall be in the dark.



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 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.
