2 Nephi 1:19

O my sons, that these things might not come upon you,

but that ye might be a choice and a favored people of the Lord.

But behold, his will be done;

for his ways are righteousness forever.

2 Nephi 1:23

Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness.

Shake off the chains with which ye are bound,

and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust.

2 Nephi 2:3

Wherefore, thy soul shall be blessed,

and thou shalt dwell safely with thy brother, Nephi;

and thy days shall be spent in the service of thy God.

Wherefore, I know that thou art redeemed,

because of the righteousness of thy Redeemer;

for thou hast beheld that in the fulness of time

he cometh to bring salvation unto men.

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.
