31:21 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 Christ,
and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.
2 Nephi Chapter 32
32:1 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, I suppose that ye ponder
somewhat in your hearts concerning that which ye should do after ye
have entered in by the way. But, behold, why do ye ponder these things
in your hearts?
32:2 Do ye not remember that I said unto you that after ye had received
the Holy Ghost ye could speak with the tongue of angels? And now, how
could ye speak with the tongue of angels save it were by the Holy
Ghost?
32:3 Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak
the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words
of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things
what ye should do.
32:4 Wherefore, now after I have spoken these words, if ye cannot
understand them it will be because ye ask not, neither do ye knock;
wherefore, ye are not brought into the light, but must perish in the
dark.
32:5 For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the
way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what
ye should do.
32:6 Behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and there will be no more
doctrine given until after he shall manifest himself unto you in the
flesh. And when he shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh, the
things which he shall say unto you shall ye observe to do.
32:7 And now I, Nephi, cannot say more; the Spirit stoppeth mine
utterance, and I am left to mourn because of the unbelief, and the
wickedness, and the ignorance, and the stiffneckedness of men; for they
will not search knowledge, nor understand great knowledge, when it is
given unto them in plainness, even as plain as word can be.
32:8 And now, my beloved brethren, I perceive that ye ponder still in
your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this
thing. For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to
pray ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not
a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray.
32:9 But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not
faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the
first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that
he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may
be for the welfare of thy soul.
2 Nephi Chapter 33
33:1 And now I, Nephi, cannot write all the things which were taught
among my people; neither am I mighty in writing, like unto speaking;
for when a man speaketh by the power of the Holy Ghost the power of the
Holy Ghost carrieth it unto the hearts of the children of men.
