but a few of

       the words of my brother Jacob.

      2 Nephi 31:2

       2 Wherefore, the things which I have written sufficeth me, save

       it be a few words which I must speak concerning the doctrine of

       Christ; wherefore, I shall speak unto you plainly, according to

       the plainness of my prophesying.

      2 Nephi 31:3

       3 For my soul delighteth in plainness; for after this manner

       doth the Lord God work among the children of men. For the Lord

       God giveth light unto the understanding; for he speaketh unto men

       according to their language, unto their understanding.

      2 Nephi 31:4

       4 Wherefore, I would that ye should remember that I have spoken

       unto you concerning that prophet which the Lord showed unto me,

       that should baptize the Lamb of God, which should take away the

       sins of the world.

      2 Nephi 31:5

       5 And now, if the Lamb of God, he being holy, should have need

       to be baptized by water, to fulfil all righteousness, O then, how

       much more need have we, being unholy, to be baptized, yea, even

       by water!

      2 Nephi 31:6

       6 And now, I would ask of you, my beloved brethren, wherein the

       Lamb of God did fulfil all righteousness in being baptized by

       water?

      2 Nephi 31:7

       7 Know ye not that he was holy? But notwithstanding he being

       holy, he showeth unto the children of men that, according to the

       flesh he humbleth himself before the Father, and witnesseth unto

       the Father that he would be obedient unto him in keeping his

       commandments.

      2 Nephi 31:8

       8 Wherefore, after he was baptized with water the Holy Ghost

       descended upon him in the form of a dove.

      2 Nephi 31:9

       9 And again, it showeth unto the children of men the

       straightness of the path, and the narrowness of the gate, by

       which they should enter, he having set the example before them.

      2 Nephi 31:10

       10 And he said unto the children of men: Follow thou me.

       Wherefore, my beloved brethren, can we follow Jesus save we shall

       be willing to keep the commandments of the Father?

      2 Nephi 31:11

       11 And the Father said: Repent ye, repent ye, and be baptized in

       the name of my Beloved Son.

      2 Nephi 31:12

       12 And also, the voice of the Son came unto me, saying: He that

       is baptized in my name, to him will the Father give the Holy

       Ghost, like unto me; wherefore, follow me, and do the things

       which ye have seen me do.

      2 Nephi 31:13

       13 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall

       follow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy

       and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of

       your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take

       upon you the name of Christ, by baptism—yea, by following your

       Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word,

       behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh

       the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak

       with the tongue of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of

       Israel.

      2 Nephi 31:14

       14 But, behold, my beloved brethren, thus came the voice of the

       Son unto me, saying: After ye have repented of your sins, and

       witnessed unto the Father that ye are willing to keep my

       commandments, by the baptism of water, and have received the

       baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, and can speak with a new

       tongue, yea, even with the tongue of angels, and after this

       should deny me, it would have been better for you that ye had not

       known me.

      2 Nephi 31:15

       15 And I heard a voice from the Father, saying: Yea, the words

       of my Beloved are true and faithful. He that endureth to the

       end, the same shall be saved.

      2 Nephi 31:16

       16 And now, my beloved brethren, I know by this that unless a

       man shall endure to the end, in following the example of the Son

       of the living God, he cannot be saved.

      2 Nephi 31:17

       17 Wherefore, do the things which I have told you I have seen

       that your Lord and your Redeemer should do; for, for this cause

       have they been shown unto me, that ye might know the gate by

       which ye should enter. For the gate by which ye should enter is

       repentance and baptism by water; and then cometh a remission of

       your sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost.

      2 Nephi 31:18

       18 And then are ye in this strait and narrow path which leads to

       eternal life; yea, ye have entered in by the gate; ye have done

       according to the commandments of the Father and the Son; and ye

       have received the Holy Ghost, which witnesses of the Father and

       the Son, unto the fulfilling of the promise which he hath made,

       that if ye entered in by the way ye should receive.

      2 Nephi 31:19

       19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this

       strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I

       say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by

       the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly

       upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.

      2 Nephi 31:20

       20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in

       Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God

       and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting

       upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus

       saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

      2 Nephi 31:21

       21 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and

       there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man

       can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the

       doctrine of
