30:17 There is nothing which is secret save it shall be revealed; there
is no work of darkness save it shall be made manifest in the light; and
there is nothing which is sealed upon the earth save it shall be
loosed.
30:18 Wherefore, all things which have been revealed unto the children
of men shall at that day be revealed; and Satan shall have power over
the hearts of the children of men no more, for a long time. And now, my
beloved brethren, I make an end of my sayings.
2 Nephi Chapter 31
31:1 And now I, Nephi, make an end of my prophesying unto you, my
beloved brethren. And I cannot write but a few things, which I know
must surely come to pass; neither can I write but a few of the words of
my brother Jacob.
31:2 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.
31:3 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.
31:4 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.
31:5 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!
31:6 And now, I would ask of you, my beloved brethren, wherein the Lamb
of God did fulfil all righteousness in being baptized by water?
31:7 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.
31:8 Wherefore, after he was baptized with water the Holy Ghost
descended upon him in the form of a dove.
31:9 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.
31:10 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?
31:11 And the Father said: Repent ye, repent ye, and be baptized in the
name of my Beloved Son.
31:12 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.
