2 Nephi 2:4, 8, 21, 27, 29

2 Nephi 2:4

And thou hast beheld in thy youth his glory;

wherefore, thou art blessed

even as they unto whom he shall minister in the flesh;

for the Spirit is the same, yesterday, today, and forever.

And the way is prepared from the fall of man,

and salvation is free.

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 2:21

And the days of the children of men were prolonged,

according to the will of God,

that they might repent while in the flesh;

wherefore, their state became a state of probation,

and their time was lengthened, according to the commandments

which the Lord God gave unto the children of men.

For he gave commandment that all men must repent;

for he showed unto all men that they were lost,

because of the transgression of their parents.

2 Nephi 2:27

Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh;

and all things are given them which are expedient unto man.

And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life,

through the great Mediator of all men,

or to choose captivity and death,

according to the captivity and power of the devil;

for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

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.
