2 Nephi 1:1

And now it came to pass

that after I, Nephi, had made an end of teaching my brethren,

our father, Lehi, also spake many things unto them,

and rehearsed unto them, how great things the Lord had done for them

in bringing them out of the land of Jerusalem.

2 Nephi 1:3

And he also spake unto them concerning the land of promise,

which they had obtained —

how merciful the Lord had been in warning us

that we should flee out of the land of Jerusalem.

2 Nephi 1:4

For, behold, said he, I have seen a vision,

in which I know that Jerusalem is destroyed;

and had we remained in Jerusalem we should also have perished.

2 Nephi 2:15

And to bring about his eternal purposes in the end of man,

after he had created our first parents,

and the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air,

and in fine, all things which are created,

it must needs be that there was an opposition;

even the forbidden fruit in opposition to the tree of life;

the one being sweet and the other bitter.

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 2:19

And after Adam and Eve had partaken of the forbidden fruit

they were driven out of the garden of Eden, to till the earth.

2 Nephi 2:22

And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed

he would not have fallen,

but he would have remained in the garden of Eden.

And all things which were created must have remained

in the same state in which they were

after they were created;

and they must have remained forever, and had no end.

2 Nephi 2:23

And they would have had no children;

wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence,

having no joy, for they knew no misery;

doing no good, for they knew no sin.
