that which was evil before God.

      2 Nephi 2:18

       18 And because he had fallen from heaven, and had become

       miserable forever, he sought also the misery of all mankind.

       Wherefore, he said unto Eve, yea, even that old serpent, who is

       the devil, who is the father of all lies, wherefore he said:

       Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die, but ye

       shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

      2 Nephi 2:19

       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 2:20

       20 And they have brought forth children; yea, even the family of

       all the earth.

      2 Nephi 2:21

       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

       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

       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.

      2 Nephi 2:24

       24 But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him

       who knoweth all things.

      2 Nephi 2:25

       25 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might

       have joy.

      2 Nephi 2:26

       26 And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may

       redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they

       are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing

       good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon,

       save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last

       day, according to the commandments which God hath given.

      2 Nephi 2:27

       27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all

       things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are

       free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great

       Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according

       to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all

       men might be miserable like unto himself.

      2 Nephi 2:28

       28 And now, my sons, I would that ye should look to the great

       Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be

       faithful unto his words, and choose eternal life, according to

       the will of his Holy Spirit;

      2 Nephi 2:29

       29 And not choose eternal death, according to the will of the

       flesh and the evil which is therein, which giveth the spirit of

       the devil power to captivate, to bring you down to hell, that he

       may reign over you in his own kingdom.

      2 Nephi 2:30

       30 I have spoken these few words unto you all, my sons, in the

       last days of my probation; and I have chosen the good part,

       according to the words of the prophet. And I have none other

       object save it be the everlasting welfare of your souls. Amen.

      2 Nephi 3 Chapter 3

      2 Nephi 3:1

       1 And now I speak unto you, Joseph, my last-born. Thou wast

       born in the wilderness of mine afflictions; yea, in the days of

       my greatest sorrow did thy mother bear thee.

      2 Nephi 3:2

       2 And may the Lord consecrate also unto thee this land, which is

       a most precious land, for thine inheritance and the inheritance

       of thy seed with thy brethren, for thy security forever, if it so

       be that ye shall keep the commandments of the Holy One of Israel.

      2 Nephi 3:3

       3 And now, Joseph, my last-born, whom I have brought out of the

       wilderness of mine afflictions, may the Lord bless thee forever,

       for thy seed shall not utterly be destroyed.

      2 Nephi 3:4

       4 For behold, thou art the fruit of my loins; and I am a

       descendant of Joseph who was carried captive into Egypt. And

       great were the covenants of the Lord which he made unto Joseph.

      2 Nephi 3:5

       5 Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day. And he obtained a

       promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord

       God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel;

       not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off,

       nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that

       the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days,

       in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness

       unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto

       freedom.

      2 Nephi 3:6

       6 For Joseph truly testified, saying: A seer shall the Lord my

       God raise up, who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my

       loins.

      2 Nephi 3:7

       7 Yea, Joseph truly said: Thus saith the Lord unto me: A choice

       seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and he shall

       be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins. And unto him

       will I give commandment that he shall do a work for the fruit of

       thy loins, his brethren, which shall be of great worth unto them,

       even to the bringing of them to the knowledge of the covenants

       which I have made with thy fathers.

      2 Nephi 3:8

       8 And I will give unto him a commandment that he shall do
