1 Nephi 22:1, 23

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 22:23

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.
