awful monster the

       devil, and death, and hell, and that lake of fire and brimstone,

       which is endless torment.

      2 Nephi 9:20

       20 O how great the holiness of our God! For he knoweth all

       things, and there is not anything save he knows it.

      2 Nephi 9:21

       21 And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they

       will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains

       of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men,

       women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam.

      2 Nephi 9:22

       22 And he suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon

       all men, that all might stand before him at the great and

       judgment day.

      2 Nephi 9:23

       23 And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be

       baptized in his name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of

       Israel, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.

      2 Nephi 9:24

       24 And if they will not repent and believe in his name, and be

       baptized in his name, and endure to the end, they must be damned;

       for the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has spoken it.

      2 Nephi 9:25

       25 Wherefore, he has given a law; and where there is no law

       given there is no punishment; and where there is no punishment

       there is no condemnation; and where there is no condemnation the

       mercies of the Holy One of Israel have claim upon them, because

       of the atonement; for they are delivered by the power of him.

      2 Nephi 9:26

       26 For the atonement satisfieth the demands of his justice upon

       all those who have not the law given to them, that they are

       delivered from that awful monster, death and hell, and the devil,

       and the lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment; and

       they are restored to that God who gave them breath, which is the

       Holy One of Israel.

      2 Nephi 9:27

       27 But wo unto him that has the law given, yea, that has all the

       commandments of God, like unto us, and that transgresseth them,

       and that wasteth the days of his probation, for awful is his

       state!

      2 Nephi 9:28

       28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the

       frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned

       they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel

       of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves,

       wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not.

      And they shall perish.

      2 Nephi 9:29

       29 But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels

       of God.

      2 Nephi 9:30

       30 But wo unto the rich, who are rich as to the things of the

       world. For because they are rich they despise the poor, and they

       persecute the meek, and their hearts are upon their treasures;

       wherefore, their treasure is their God. And behold, their

       treasure shall perish with them also.

      2 Nephi 9:31

       31 And wo unto the deaf that will not hear; for they shall

       perish.

      2 Nephi 9:32

       32 Wo unto the blind that will not see; for they shall perish

       also.

      2 Nephi 9:33

       33 Wo unto the uncircumcised of heart, for a knowledge of their

       iniquities shall smite them at the last day.

      2 Nephi 9:34

       34 Wo unto the liar, for he shall be thrust down to hell.

      2 Nephi 9:35

       35 Wo unto the murderer who deliberately killeth, for he shall

       die.

      2 Nephi 9:36

       36 Wo unto them who commit whoredoms, for they shall be thrust

       down to hell.

      2 Nephi 9:37

       37 Yea, wo unto those that worship idols, for the devil of all

       devils delighteth in them.

      2 Nephi 9:38

       38 And, in fine, wo unto all those who die in their sins; for

       they shall return to God, and behold his face, and remain in

       their sins.

      2 Nephi 9:39

       39 O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in

       transgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of

       yielding to the enticings of that cunning one. Remember, to be

       carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded is life

       eternal.

      2 Nephi 9:40

       40 O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words. Remember the

       greatness of the Holy One of Israel. Do not say that I have

       spoken hard things against you; for if ye do, ye will revile

       against the truth; for I have spoken the words of your Maker. I

       know that the words of truth are hard against all uncleanness;

       but the righteous fear them not, for they love the truth and are

       not shaken.

      2 Nephi 9:41

       41 O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy

       One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for

       man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and

       the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he

       employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it

       be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is

       his name.

      2 Nephi 9:42

       42 And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and

       the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of

       their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches—yea, they are

       they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things

       away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in

       the depths of humility, he will not open unto them.

      2 Nephi 9:43

       43 But the things of the wise and the prudent shall be hid from

       them forever—yea, that happiness which is prepared for the

       saints.
