2 Nephi 1:25

And I exceedingly fear and tremble because of you,

lest he shall suffer again;

for behold, ye have accused him

that he sought power and authority over you;

but I know that he hath not sought for power nor authority over you,

but he hath sought the glory of God, and your own eternal welfare.

2 Nephi 1:26

And ye have murmured because he hath been plain unto you.

Ye say that he hath used sharpness;

ye say that he hath been angry with you;

but behold, his sharpness was the sharpness of the power

of the word of God, which was in him;

and that which ye call anger was the truth,

according to that which is in God,

which he could not restrain,

manifesting boldly concerning your iniquities.

2 Nephi 1:27

And it must needs be that the power of God must be with him,

even unto his commanding you that ye must obey.

But behold, it was not he,

but it was the Spirit of the Lord which was in him,

which opened his mouth to utterance that he could not shut it.

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 2:16

Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for himself.

Wherefore, man could not act for himself

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

2 Nephi 2:26

And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time,

that he may redeem the children of men from the fall.

And because that they are redeemed from the fall

they have become free forever,

knowing good from evil;

to act for themselves and not to be acted upon,

save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day,

according to the commandments which God hath given.

2 Nephi 2:29

And not choose eternal death, according to the will of the flesh

and the evil which is therein,

which giveth the spirit of the devil power to captivate,

to bring you down to hell,

that he may reign over you in his own kingdom.
