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 31:6

And now, I would ask of you, my beloved brethren,

wherein the Lamb of God did fulfil all righteousness in being baptized by water?

2 Nephi 31:10

And he said unto the children of men:

Follow thou me.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, can we follow Jesus

save we shall be willing to keep the commandments of the Father?

2 Nephi 31:13

Wherefore, my beloved brethren,

I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart,

acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent,

repenting of your sins,

witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing

to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism —

yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word,

behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost;

yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost;

and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels,

and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel.

2 Nephi 31:14

But, behold, my beloved brethren,

thus came the voice of the Son unto me, saying:

After ye have repented of your sins, and witnessed unto the Father

that ye are willing to keep my commandments, by the baptism of water,

and have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost,

and can speak with a new tongue,

yea, even with the tongue of angels,

and after this should deny me,

it would have been better for you that ye had not known me.

2 Nephi 31:16

And now, my beloved brethren,

I know by this that unless a man shall endure to the end,

in following the example of the Son of the living God,

he cannot be saved.

2 Nephi 31:19

And now, my beloved brethren,

after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path,

I would ask if all is done?

Behold, I say unto you, Nay;

for ye have not come thus far

save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him,

relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.

2 Nephi 31:21

And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way;

and there is none other way nor name given under heaven

whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God.

And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ,

and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,

which is one God, without end.

Amen.
