2 Nephi 33:1

And now I, Nephi, cannot write all the things

which were taught among my people;

neither am I mighty in writing, like unto speaking;

for when a man speaketh by the power of the Holy Ghost

the power of the Holy Ghost carrieth it unto the hearts of the children of men.

2 Nephi 33:3

But I, Nephi, have written what I have written,

and I esteem it as of great worth, and especially unto my people.

For I pray continually for them by day,

and mine eyes water my pillow by night, because of them;

and I cry unto my God in faith,

and I know that he will hear my cry.

2 Nephi 33:4

And I know that the Lord God will consecrate my prayers

for the gain of my people.

And the words which I have written in weakness

will be made strong unto them;

for it persuadeth them to do good;

it maketh known unto them of their fathers;

and it speaketh of Jesus, and persuadeth them

to believe in him, and to endure to the end, which is life eternal.

2 Nephi 33:5

And it speaketh harshly against sin, according to the plainness of the truth;

wherefore, no man will be angry at the words which I have written

save he shall be of the spirit of the devil.

2 Nephi 33:6

I glory in plainness;

I glory in truth;

I glory in my Jesus,

for he hath redeemed my soul from hell.

that I shall meet many souls spotless at his judgment-seat.

I say Jew, because I mean them from whence I came.

2 Nephi 33:9

I also have charity for the Gentiles.

But behold, for none of these can I hope

except they shall be reconciled unto Christ,

and enter into the narrow gate,

and walk in the strait path which leads to life,

and continue in the path until the end of the day of probation.

2 Nephi 33:11

And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye —

for Christ will show unto you, with power and great glory,

that they are his words,

at the last day;

and you and I shall stand face to face before his bar;

and ye shall know that I have been commanded of him

to write these things, notwithstanding my weakness.

2 Nephi 33:12

And I pray the Father in the name of Christ

that many of us, if not all, may be saved in his kingdom

at that great and last day.

And now, my beloved brethren,

all those who are of the house of Israel, and all ye ends of the earth,

I speak unto you as the voice of one crying from the dust:

Farewell until that great day shall come.

2 Nephi 33:14

And you that will not partake of the goodness of God,

and respect the words of the Jews, and also my words,

behold, I bid you an everlasting farewell,

for these words shall condemn you at the last day.

2 Nephi 33:15

For what I seal on earth, shall be brought against you at the judgment bar;

for thus hath the Lord commanded me,

and I must obey.

Amen.
