that the churches which are built up, and not unto the Lord,

and he hath given his power unto men;

from whence there is no deliverance.

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.

for I the Lord have not forgotten my people.

and they shall write it;

and I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth

and they shall write it.

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

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.
