And he spake unto them concerning their rebellions upon the waters,

and the mercies of God in sparing their lives,

that they were not swallowed up in the sea.

2 Nephi 1:9

Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a promise, that

inasmuch as those whom the Lord God shall bring out of the land of Jerusalem

shall keep his commandments,

they shall prosper upon the face of this land;

and they shall be kept from all other nations,

that they may possess this land unto themselves.

And if it so be that they shall keep his commandments

they shall be blessed upon the face of this land,

and there shall be none to molest them,

nor to take away the land of their inheritance;

and they shall dwell safely forever.

2 Nephi 1:10

But behold, when the time cometh

that they shall dwindle in unbelief,

after they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord —

having a knowledge of the creation of the earth, and all men,

knowing the great and marvelous works of the Lord

from the creation of the world;

having power given them to do all things by faith;

having all the commandments from the beginning,

and having been brought by his infinite goodness

into this precious land of promise —

behold, I say, if the day shall come

that they will reject the Holy One of Israel,

the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God,

behold, the judgments of him that is just shall rest upon them.

the Lord your God should come out

in the fulness of his wrath upon you,

that ye be cut off and destroyed forever;

2 Nephi 1:18

Or, that a cursing should come upon you for the space of many generations;

and ye are visited by sword, and by famine, and are hated,

and are led according to the will and captivity of the devil.

O my sons, that these things might not come upon you,

but that ye might be a choice and a favored people of the Lord.

But behold, his will be done;

for his ways are righteousness forever.

That ye may not be cursed with a sore cursing;

and also, that ye may not incur the displeasure of a just God upon you,

unto the destruction, yea, the eternal destruction of both soul and body.

yea, even my blessing, and it shall rest upon him.

2 Nephi 1:31

Wherefore, because thou hast been faithful

thy seed shall be blessed with his seed,

that they dwell in prosperity long upon the face of this land;

and nothing, save it shall be iniquity among them,

shall harm or disturb their prosperity upon the face of this land forever.

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.

And now, my sons,

I speak unto you these things for your profit and learning;

for there is a God, and he hath created all things,

both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are,

both things to act and things to be acted upon.

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.
