2 Nephi 1:9

Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a promise, that

inasmuch as those whom the Lord God shall bring out of the land of Jerusalem

shall keep his commandments,

they shall prosper upon the face of this land;

and they shall be kept from all other nations,

that they may possess this land unto themselves.

And if it so be that they shall keep his commandments

they shall be blessed upon the face of this land,

and there shall be none to molest them,

nor to take away the land of their inheritance;

and they shall dwell safely forever.

2 Nephi 1:31

Wherefore, because thou hast been faithful

thy seed shall be blessed with his seed,

that they dwell in prosperity long upon the face of this land;

and nothing, save it shall be iniquity among them,

shall harm or disturb their prosperity upon the face of this land forever.

2 Nephi 2:3

Wherefore, thy soul shall be blessed,

and thou shalt dwell safely with thy brother, Nephi;

and thy days shall be spent in the service of thy God.

Wherefore, I know that thou art redeemed,

because of the righteousness of thy Redeemer;

for thou hast beheld that in the fulness of time

he cometh to bring salvation unto men.

2 Nephi 2:8

Wherefore, how great the importance

to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth,

that they may know that there is no flesh

that can dwell in the presence of God,

save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah,

who layeth down his life according to the flesh,

and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit,

that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead,

being the first that should rise.
