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 1:5

But, said he, notwithstanding our afflictions,

we have obtained a land of promise,

a land which is choice above all other lands;

a land which the Lord God hath covenanted with me

should be a land for the inheritance of my seed.

Yea, the Lord hath covenanted this land unto me, and to my children forever,

and also all those who should be led out of other countries

by the hand of the Lord.

2 Nephi 1:6

Wherefore, I, Lehi, prophesy

according to the workings of the Spirit which is in me,

that there shall none come into this land

save they shall be brought by the hand of the Lord.

2 Nephi 1:7

Wherefore, this land is consecrated unto him whom he shall bring.

And if it so be that they shall serve him

according to the commandments which he hath given,

it shall be a land of liberty unto them;

wherefore, they shall never be brought down into captivity;

if so, it shall be because of iniquity;

for if iniquity shall abound

cursed shall be the land for their sakes,

but unto the righteous it shall be blessed forever.

2 Nephi 1:8

And behold, it is wisdom that this land should be kept

as yet from the knowledge of other nations;

for behold, many nations would overrun the land,

that there would be no place for an inheritance.

2 Nephi 1:10

But behold, when the time cometh

that they shall dwindle in unbelief,

after they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord —

having a knowledge of the creation of the earth, and all men,

knowing the great and marvelous works of the Lord

from the creation of the world;

having power given them to do all things by faith;

having all the commandments from the beginning,

and having been brought by his infinite goodness

into this precious land of promise —

behold, I say, if the day shall come

that they will reject the Holy One of Israel,

the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God,

behold, the judgments of him that is just shall rest upon them.

2 Nephi 1:26

And ye have murmured because he hath been plain unto you.

Ye say that he hath used sharpness;

ye say that he hath been angry with you;

but behold, his sharpness was the sharpness of the power

of the word of God, which was in him;

and that which ye call anger was the truth,

according to that which is in God,

which he could not restrain,

manifesting boldly concerning your iniquities.

2 Nephi 2:4

And thou hast beheld in thy youth his glory;

wherefore, thou art blessed

even as they unto whom he shall minister in the flesh;

for the Spirit is the same, yesterday, today, and forever.

And the way is prepared from the fall of man,

and salvation is free.

2 Nephi 2:5

And men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil.

And the law is given unto men.

And by the law no flesh is justified;

or, by the law men are cut off.

Yea, by the temporal law they were cut off;

and also, by the spiritual law they perish from that which is good,

and become miserable forever.

2 Nephi 2:6

Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah;

for he is full of grace and truth.

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.

2 Nephi 2:9

Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God,

inasmuch as he shall make intercession for all the children of men;

and they that believe in him shall be saved.

2 Nephi 2:10

And because of the intercession for all,

all men come unto God;

wherefore, they stand in the presence of him, to be judged of him

according to the truth and holiness which is in him.

Wherefore, the ends of the law which the Holy One hath given,

unto the inflicting of the punishment which is affixed,

which punishment that is affixed is in opposition

to that of the happiness which is affixed,

to answer the ends of the atonement —

2 Nephi 2:11

For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things.

If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness,

righteousness could not be brought to pass,

neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad.

Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one;

wherefore, if it should be one body

it must needs remain as dead,

having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption,

happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.

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.

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 2:29

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.
