2 Nephi 2:8

2 Nephi 1:24

Rebel no more against your brother,

whose views have been glorious,

and who hath kept the commandments from the time that we left Jerusalem;

and who hath been an instrument in the hands of God,

in bringing us forth into the land of promise;

for were it not for him, we must have perished with hunger in the wilderness;

nevertheless, ye sought to take away his life;

yea, and he hath suffered much sorrow because of you.

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.
