2 Nephi 2:21

And the days of the children of men were prolonged,

according to the will of God,

that they might repent while in the flesh;

wherefore, their state became a state of probation,

and their time was lengthened, according to the commandments

which the Lord God gave unto the children of men.

For he gave commandment that all men must repent;

for he showed unto all men that they were lost,

because of the transgression of their parents.

2 Nephi 2:28

And now, my sons,

I would that ye should look to the great Mediator,

and hearken unto his great commandments;

and be faithful unto his words,

and choose eternal life, according to the will of his Holy Spirit;

2 Nephi 2:29

And not choose eternal death, according to the will of the flesh

and the evil which is therein,

which giveth the spirit of the devil power to captivate,

to bring you down to hell,

that he may reign over you in his own kingdom.
