1 Nephi 15:14

And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know

that they are of the house of Israel,

and that they are the covenant people of the Lord;

and then shall they know and come to the knowledge of their forefathers,

and also to the knowledge of the gospel of their Redeemer,

which was ministered unto their fathers by him;

wherefore, they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer

and the very points of his doctrine,

that they may know how to come unto him and be saved.

1 Nephi 15:18

wherefore, our father hath not spoken of our seed alone,

but also of all the house of Israel,

In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

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 15:33

wherefore, if they should die in their wickedness

they must be cast off also, as to the things which are spiritual,

which are pertaining to righteousness;

wherefore, they must be brought to stand before God,

to be judged of their works;

and if their works have been filthiness they must needs be filthy;

and if they be filthy it must needs be

that they cannot dwell in the kingdom of God;

if so, the kingdom of God must be filthy also.

1 Nephi 15:34

But behold, I say unto you, the kingdom of God is not filthy,

and there cannot any unclean thing enter into the kingdom of God;

wherefore there must needs be a place of filthiness

prepared for that which is filthy.

1 Nephi 15:35

And there is a place prepared,

yea, even that awful hell of which I have spoken,

and the devil is the preparator of it;

wherefore the final state of the souls of men

is to dwell in the kingdom of God, or to be cast out

because of that justice of which I have spoken.

1 Nephi 15:36

wherefore, the wicked are rejected from the righteous,

and also from that tree of life,

whose fruit is most precious and most desirable above all other fruits;

yea, and it is the greatest of all the gifts of God.

And thus I spake unto my brethren.

Amen.
