2 Nephi 2:2, 12, 13, 14

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 2:2

Nevertheless, Jacob, my firstborn in the wilderness,

thou knowest the greatness of God;

and he shall consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain.

2 Nephi 2:12

Wherefore, it must needs have been created for a thing of naught;

wherefore there would have been no purpose in the end of its creation.

Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy

the wisdom of God and his eternal purposes,

and also the power, and the mercy, and the justice of God.

2 Nephi 2:13

And if ye shall say there is no law,

ye shall also say there is no sin.

If ye shall say there is no sin,

ye shall also say there is no righteousness.

And if there be no righteousness

there be no happiness.

And if there be no righteousness nor happiness

there be no punishment nor misery.

And if these things are not

there is no God.

And if there is no God

we are not, neither the earth;

for there could have been no creation of things,

neither to act nor to be acted upon;

wherefore, all things must have vanished away.

2 Nephi 2:14

And now, my sons,

I speak unto you these things for your profit and learning;

for there is a God, and he hath created all things,

both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are,

both things to act and things to be acted upon.
