2 Nephi 2:11, 15, 17

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 1:8

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 1:24

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 2:11

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 2:15

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.
