10:15 And after this manner of language did my father prophesy and
speak unto my brethren, and also many more things which I do not write
in this book; for I have written as many of them as were expedient for
me in mine other book.
10:16 And all these things, of which I have spoken, were done as my
father dwelt in a tent, in the valley of Lemuel.
10:17 And it came to pass after I, Nephi, having heard all the words of
my father, concerning the things which he saw in a vision, and also the
things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he
received by faith on the Son of God—and the Son of God was the Messiah
who should come—I, Nephi, was desirous also that I might see, and hear,
and know of these things, by the power of the Holy Ghost, which is the
gift of God unto all those who diligently seek him, as well in times of
old as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the children of
men.
10:18 For he is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever; and the way is
prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that
they repent and come unto him.
10:19 For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of
God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as
well in these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as
in times to come; wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal
round.
10:20 Therefore remember, O man, for all thy doings thou shalt be
brought into judgment.
10:21 Wherefore, if ye have sought to do wickedly in the days of your
probation, then ye are found unclean before the judgment-seat of God;
and no unclean thing can dwell with God; wherefore, ye must be cast off
forever.
10:22 And the Holy Ghost giveth authority that I should speak these
things, and deny them not.
1 Nephi Chapter 11
11:1 For it came to pass after I had desired to know the things that my
father had seen, and believing that the Lord was able to make them
known unto me, as I sat pondering in mine heart I was caught away in
the Spirit of the Lord, yea, into an exceedingly high mountain, which I
never had before seen, and upon which I never had before set my foot.
11:2 And the Spirit said unto me: Behold, what desirest thou?
11:3 And I said: I desire to behold the things which my father saw.
11:4 And the Spirit said unto me: Believest thou that thy father saw
the tree of which he hath spoken?
11:5 And I said: Yea, thou knowest that I believe all the words of my
father.
11:6 And when I had spoken these words, the Spirit cried with a loud
voice, saying: Hosanna to the Lord, the most high God; for he is God
over all the earth, yea, even above all. And blessed art thou, Nephi,
because thou believest in the Son of the most high God; wherefore, thou
shalt behold the things which thou hast desired.
