2 Nephi 1:2

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 1:24

Rebel no more against your brother,

whose views have been glorious,

and who hath kept the commandments from the time that we left Jerusalem;

and who hath been an instrument in the hands of God,

in bringing us forth into the land of promise;

for were it not for him, we must have perished with hunger in the wilderness;

nevertheless, ye sought to take away his life;

yea, and he hath suffered much sorrow because of you.

2 Nephi 2:5

And men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil.

And the law is given unto men.

And by the law no flesh is justified;

or, by the law men are cut off.

Yea, by the temporal law they were cut off;

and also, by the spiritual law they perish from that which is good,

and become miserable forever.

2 Nephi 2:19

And after Adam and Eve had partaken of the forbidden fruit

they were driven out of the garden of Eden, to till the earth.

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 2:22

And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed

he would not have fallen,

but he would have remained in the garden of Eden.

And all things which were created must have remained

in the same state in which they were

after they were created;

and they must have remained forever, and had no end.
