But, said he, notwithstanding our afflictions,

we have obtained a land of promise,

a land which is choice above all other lands;

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.

as yet from the knowledge of other nations;

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 2:11

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.

save it should be that he was enticed by the one or the other.

2 Nephi 2:28

And now, my sons,

I would that ye should look to the great Mediator,

and hearken unto his great commandments;

and be faithful unto his words,

and choose eternal life, according to the will of his Holy Spirit;
