1 Nephi 15:3

For he truly spake many great things unto them,

which were hard to be understood,

save a man should inquire of the Lord;

and they being hard in their hearts,

therefore they did not look unto the Lord as they ought.



1 Nephi 15:13

And now, the thing which our father meaneth

concerning the grafting in of the natural branches

through the fulness of the Gentiles,

is, that in the latter days, when our seed shall have dwindled in unbelief,

yea, for the space of many years, and many generations

after the Messiah shall be manifested in body unto the children of men,

then shall the fulness of the gospel of the Messiah come unto the Gentiles,

and from the Gentiles unto the remnant of our seed —



1 Nephi 15:15

And then at that day will they not rejoice

and give praise unto their everlasting God, their rock and their salvation?

yea, at that day, will they not receive the strength and nourishment from the true vine?

yea, will they not come unto the true fold of God?



1 Nephi 15:17

And this is what our father meaneth;

and he meaneth that it will not come to pass

until after they are scattered by the Gentiles;

and he meaneth that it shall come by way of the Gentiles,

that the Lord may show his power unto the Gentiles,

for the very cause that he shall be rejected of the Jews, or of the house of Israel.



1 Nephi 15:24

And I said unto them that it was the word of God;

and whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it,

they would never perish;

neither could the temptations and the fiery darts of the adversary

overpower them unto blindness,

to lead them away to destruction.



1 Nephi 15:25

Wherefore, I, Nephi, did exhort them to give heed unto the word of the Lord;

yea, I did exhort them with all the energies of my soul,

and with all the faculty which I possessed,

that they would give heed to the word of God

and remember to keep his commandments always in all things.



1 Nephi 15:30

And I said unto them that our father also saw

that the justice of God did also divide the wicked from the righteous;

and the brightness thereof was like unto the brightness of a flaming fire,

which ascendeth up unto God forever and ever, and hath no end.
