2 Nephi 2:12

Wherefore, it must needs have been created for a thing of naught;

wherefore there would have been no purpose in the end of its creation.

Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy

the wisdom of God and his eternal purposes,

and also the power, and the mercy, and the justice of God.

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.

2 Nephi 2:23

And they would have had no children;

wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence,

having no joy, for they knew no misery;

doing no good, for they knew no sin.
