2 Nephi 1:19

O my sons, that these things might not come upon you,

but that ye might be a choice and a favored people of the Lord.

But behold, his will be done;

for his ways are righteousness forever.



2 Nephi 1:25

And I exceedingly fear and tremble because of you,

lest he shall suffer again;

for behold, ye have accused him

that he sought power and authority over you;

but I know that he hath not sought for power nor authority over you,

but he hath sought the glory of God, and your own eternal welfare.



2 Nephi 1:26

And ye have murmured because he hath been plain unto you.

Ye say that he hath used sharpness;

ye say that he hath been angry with you;

but behold, his sharpness was the sharpness of the power

of the word of God, which was in him;

and that which ye call anger was the truth,

according to that which is in God,

which he could not restrain,

manifesting boldly concerning your iniquities.
