2 Nephi 2:13

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 1:9

Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a promise, that

inasmuch as those whom the Lord God shall bring out of the land of Jerusalem

shall keep his commandments,

they shall prosper upon the face of this land;

and they shall be kept from all other nations,

that they may possess this land unto themselves.

and if it so be that they shall keep his commandments

they shall be blessed upon the face of this land,

and there shall be none to molest them,

nor to take away the land of their inheritance;

and they shall dwell safely forever.

2 Nephi 1:28

And now my son, Laman, and also Lemuel and Sam,

and also my sons who are the sons of Ishmael,

behold, if ye will hearken unto the voice of Nephi

ye shall not perish.

and if ye will hearken unto him

I leave unto you a blessing, yea, even my first blessing.

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.
