1 Nephi 13:23

And he said:

Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew.

And I, Nephi, beheld it;

and he said unto me:

The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews,

which contains the covenants of the Lord,

which he hath made unto the house of Israel;

and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets;

and it is a record like unto the engravings

which are upon the plates of brass,

save there are not so many;

nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord,

which he hath made unto the house of Israel;

wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.

1 Nephi 13:34

And it came to pass that the angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying:

Behold, saith the Lamb of God,

after I have visited the remnant of the house of Israel

— and this remnant of whom I speak is the seed of thy father —

wherefore, after I have visited them in judgment,

and smitten them by the hand of the Gentiles,

and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly,

because of the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb

which have been kept back by that abominable church,

which is the mother of harlots, saith the Lamb —

I will be merciful unto the Gentiles in that day,

insomuch that I will bring forth unto them, in mine own power,

much of my gospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith the Lamb.

1 Nephi 14:2

And harden not their hearts against the Lamb of God,

they shall be numbered among the seed of thy father;

yea, they shall be numbered among the house of Israel;

and they shall be a blessed people upon the promised land forever;

they shall be no more brought down into captivity;

and the house of Israel shall no more be confounded.

1 Nephi 14:5

And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, Nephi, saying:

Thou hast beheld that if the Gentiles repent it shall be well with them;

and thou also knowest concerning the covenants of the Lord

unto the house of Israel;

and thou also hast heard that whoso repenteth not must perish.
