2 Nephi 1:18

Or, that a cursing should come upon you for the space of many generations;

and ye are visited by sword, and by famine, and are hated,

and are led according to the will and captivity of the devil.

2 Nephi 2:17

And I, Lehi, according to the things which I have read,

must needs suppose that an angel of God,

according to that which is written,

had fallen from heaven;

wherefore, he became a devil,

having sought that which was evil before God.

2 Nephi 2:18

And because he had fallen from heaven,

and had become miserable forever,

he sought also the misery of all mankind.

Wherefore, he said unto Eve,

yea, even that old serpent, who is the devil,

who is the father of all lies,

wherefore he said:

Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die,

but ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

2 Nephi 2:27

Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh;

and all things are given them which are expedient unto man.

And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life,

through the great Mediator of all men,

or to choose captivity and death,

according to the captivity and power of the devil;

for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

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.
