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 28:6

Behold, hearken ye unto my precept;

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

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.

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;

and from them that shall say, We have enough,

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

and there cannot be any more Bible.



2 Nephi 29:6

Thou fool, that shall say:

A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible.

Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews?
