2 Nephi 2:7, 13, 23



2 Nephi 2:7

Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin,

to answer the ends of the law, unto all those

who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit;

and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.



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 2:23

And they would have had no children;

wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence,

having no joy, for they knew no misery;

doing no good, for they knew no sin.
