2 Nephi 28:12

Because of pride, and because of false teachers, and false doctrine,

their churches have become corrupted, and their churches are lifted up;

because of pride they are puffed up.

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 29:3

and because my words shall hiss forth —

many of the Gentiles shall say:

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

and there cannot be any more Bible.

2 Nephi 29:9

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.

and because that I have spoken one word

ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another;

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 30:1

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.

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.
