behold, his will be done; for his ways are righteousness forever.

      2 Nephi 1:20

       20 And he hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my

       commandments ye shall prosper in the land; but inasmuch as ye

       will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my

       presence.

      2 Nephi 1:21

       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

       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

       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

       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 1:25

       25 And I exceedingly fear and tremble because of you, lest he

       shall suffer again; for behold, ye have accused him that he

       sought power and authority over you; but I know that he hath not

       sought for power nor authority over you, but he hath sought the

       glory of God, and your own eternal welfare.

      2 Nephi 1:26

       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

       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 1:28

       28 And now my son, Laman, and also Lemuel and Sam, and also my

       sons who are the sons of Ishmael, behold, if ye will hearken unto

       the voice of Nephi ye shall not perish. And if ye will hearken

       unto him I leave unto you a blessing, yea, even my first

       blessing.

      2 Nephi 1:29

       29 But if ye will not hearken unto him I take away my first

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

      2 Nephi 1:30

       30 And now Zoram, I speak unto you: Behold, thou art the servant

       of Laban; nevertheless, thou hast been brought out of the land of

       Jerusalem, and I know that thou art a true friend unto my son,

       Nephi, forever.

      2 Nephi 1:31

       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

       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 Chapter 2

      2 Nephi 2:1

       1 And now, Jacob, I speak unto you: Thou art my first-born in

       the days of my tribulation in the wilderness. And behold, in thy

       childhood thou hast suffered afflictions and much sorrow, because

       of the rudeness of thy brethren.

      2 Nephi 2:2

       2 Nevertheless, Jacob, my first-born in the wilderness, thou

       knowest the greatness of God; and he shall consecrate thine

       afflictions for thy gain.

      2 Nephi 2:3

       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.

      2 Nephi 2:4

       4 And thou hast beheld in thy youth his glory; wherefore, thou

       art blessed even as they unto whom he shall minister in the

       flesh; for the Spirit is the same, yesterday, today, and forever.

       And the way is prepared from the fall of man, and salvation is

       free.

      2 Nephi 2:5

       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 2:6

       6 Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah;

       for he is full of grace and truth.

      2 Nephi 2:7

       7 Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the

       ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a

       contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be

       answered.

      2 Nephi 2:8
