2 Nephi 33:1, 2, 3, 4, 5

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 33:2

But behold, there are many that harden their hearts against the Holy Spirit,

that it hath no place in them;

wherefore, they cast many things away which are written

and esteem them as things of naught.

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.
