2 Nephi 1:6

Wherefore, I, Lehi, prophesy

according to the workings of the Spirit which is in me,

that there shall none come into this land

save they shall be brought by the hand of the Lord.

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 2:4

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.
