2 Nephi 28:3

for it shall come to pass in that day

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

when the one shall say unto the other:

Behold, I, I am the Lord's;

and the others shall say:

I, I am the Lord's;

and thus shall every one say

that hath built up churches, and not unto the Lord —

2 Nephi 28:5

And they deny the power of God, the Holy One of Israel;

and they say unto the people:

Hearken unto us, and hear ye our precept;

for behold there is no God today,

for the Lord and the Redeemer hath done his work,

and he hath given his power unto men;

2 Nephi 28:6

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

believe it not;

Eat, drink, and be merry,

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

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 28:15

O the wise, and the learned, and the rich,

that are puffed up in the pride of their hearts,

and all those who preach false doctrines,

and all those who commit whoredoms, and pervert the right way of the Lord,

wo, wo, wo be unto them, saith the Lord God Almighty,

for they shall be thrust down to hell!

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 28:19

for the kingdom of the devil must shake,

and they which belong to it must needs be stirred up unto repentance,

there is no hell;

and he saith unto them:

I am no devil,

for there is none —

until he grasps them with his awful chains,

from whence there is no deliverance.

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

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

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

We have received the word of God,

and we need no more of the word of God,

for we have enough!

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;

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

for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Hosts.

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

that I would remember 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;

O fools, they shall have a Bible;

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

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 29:5

O ye Gentiles, have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people?

Nay; but ye have cursed them, and have hated them,

and have not sought to recover them.

But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads;

for I the Lord have not forgotten my people.

2 Nephi 29:9

And I do this that I may prove unto many

that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever;

and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure.

for my work is not yet finished;

neither shall it be until the end of man,

neither from that time henceforth and forever.

2 Nephi 29:11

for I command all men,

both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south,

and in the islands of the sea,

that they shall write the words which I speak unto them;

for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world,

every man according to their works,

according to that which is written.

2 Nephi 29:12

for behold, I shall speak unto the Jews and they shall write it;

and I shall also speak unto the Nephites and they shall write it;

which I have led away,

and they shall write it;

and I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth

and they shall write it.

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.

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;

save it be with them that repent

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

2 Nephi 30:3

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.

save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people.

as the waters cover the sea.

shall at that day be revealed;
