2 Nephi 31:1

And now I, Nephi, make an end of my prophesying unto you, my beloved brethren.

And I cannot write but a few things, which I know must surely come to pass;

neither can I write but a few of the words of my brother Jacob.


2 Nephi 31:2

Wherefore, the things which I have written sufficeth me,

save it be a few words which I must speak concerning the doctrine of Christ;

wherefore, I shall speak unto you plainly,

according to the plainness of my prophesying.


2 Nephi 31:3

For my soul delighteth in plainness;

for after this manner doth the Lord God work among the children of men.

For the Lord God giveth light unto the understanding;

for he speaketh unto men according to their language, unto their understanding.
