1 Nephi 22:1

And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi,

had read these things which were engraven upon the plates of brass,

my brethren came unto me and said unto me:

What meaneth these things which ye have read?

Behold, are they to be understood according to things which are spiritual,

which shall come to pass according to the spirit and not the flesh?

1 Nephi 22:2

And I, Nephi, said unto them:

Behold they were manifest unto the prophet by the voice of the Spirit;

for by the Spirit are all things made known unto the prophets,

which shall come upon the children of men according to the flesh.

1 Nephi 22:18

Behold, my brethren, I say unto you,

that these things must shortly come;

yea, even blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke must come;

and it must needs be upon the face of this earth;

and it cometh unto men according to the flesh

if it so be that they will harden their hearts against the Holy One of Israel.

1 Nephi 22:22

And the righteous need not fear,

for they are those who shall not be confounded.

But it is the kingdom of the devil,

which shall be built up among the children of men,

which kingdom is established among them which are in the flesh —

1 Nephi 22:23

For the time speedily shall come that all churches

which are built up to get gain,

and all those who are built up to get power over the flesh,

and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of the world,

and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of the world,

and to do all manner of iniquity;

yea, in fine, all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil

are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake;

they are those who must be brought low in the dust;

they are those who must be consumed as stubble;

and this is according to the words of the prophet.

1 Nephi 22:27

And now behold, I, Nephi, say unto you

that all these things must come according to the flesh.
