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;

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.

for they shall be thrust down to hell!

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,

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

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

and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!

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.

here a little and there a little;

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

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?

and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath;

and I bring forth my word unto the children of men,

yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?

is a witness unto you that I am God,

that I remember one nation like unto another?

And when the two nations shall run together

the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.

and against my people, who are of the house of Israel,

that I am God, and that I covenanted with Abraham

that I would remember his seed forever.

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

ye shall all likewise perish;

and because of the words which have been spoken

ye need not suppose that the Gentiles are utterly destroyed.

save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people.
