2 Nephi 2:3

2 Nephi 1:5

But, said he, notwithstanding our afflictions,

we have obtained a land of promise,

a land which is choice above all other lands;

a land which the Lord God hath covenanted with me

should be a land for the inheritance of my seed.

Yea, the Lord hath covenanted this land unto me, and to my children forever,

and also all those who should be led out of other countries

by the hand of the Lord.

2 Nephi 1:17

My heart hath been weighed down with sorrow from time to time,

for I have feared, lest for the hardness of your hearts

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 1:21

And now that my soul might have joy in you,

and that my heart might leave this world with gladness because of you,

that I might not be brought down with grief and sorrow to the grave,

arise from the dust, my sons, and be men,

and be determined in one mind and in one heart, united in all things,

that ye may not come down into captivity;

2 Nephi 1:22

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.

2 Nephi 1:23

Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness.

Shake off the chains with which ye are bound,

and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust.

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 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 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 1:32

Wherefore, if ye shall keep the commandments of the Lord,

the Lord hath consecrated this land for the security of thy seed

with the seed of my son.

2 Nephi 2:3

Wherefore, thy soul shall be blessed,

and thou shalt dwell safely with thy brother, Nephi;

and thy days shall be spent in the service of thy God.

Wherefore, I know that thou art redeemed,

because of the righteousness of thy Redeemer;

for thou hast beheld that in the fulness of time

he cometh to bring salvation unto men.
