26:30 Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing; wherefore, the Lord
God hath given a commandment that all men should have charity, which
charity is love, and except they should have charity they were nothing.
Wherefore, if they should have charity they would not suffer the
laborer in Zion to perish.
26:31 But the laborer in Zion shall labor for Zion; for if they labor
for money they shall perish.
26:32 And again, the Lord God hath commanded that men should not
murder; that they should not lie; that they should not steal; that they
should not take the name of the Lord their God in vain; that they
should not envy; that they should not have malice; that they should not
contend one with another; that they should not commit whoredoms; and
that they should do none of these things; for whoso doeth them shall
perish.
26:33 For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that
which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it
be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come
unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come
unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he
remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and
Gentile.
2 Nephi Chapter 27
27:1 But, behold, in the last days, or in the days of the Gentiles—yea,
behold all the nations of the Gentiles and also the Jews, both those
who shall come upon this land and those who shall be upon other lands,
yea, even upon all the lands of the earth, behold, they will be drunken
with iniquity and all manner of abominations—
27:2 And when that day shall come they shall be visited of the Lord of
Hosts, with thunder and with earthquake, and with a great noise, and
with storm, and with tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.
27:3 And all the nations that fight against Zion, and that distress
her, shall be as a dream of a night vision; yea, it shall be unto them,
even as unto a hungry man which dreameth, and behold he eateth but he
awaketh and his soul is empty; or like unto a thirsty man which
dreameth, and behold he drinketh but he awaketh and behold he is faint,
and his soul hath appetite; yea, even so shall the multitude of all the
nations be that fight against Mount Zion.
27:4 For behold, all ye that doeth iniquity, stay yourselves and
wonder, for ye shall cry out, and cry; yea, ye shall be drunken but not
with wine, ye shall stagger but not with strong drink.
27:5 For behold, the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep
sleep. For behold, ye have closed your eyes, and ye have rejected the
prophets; and your rulers, and the seers hath he covered because of
your iniquity.
27:6 And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall bring forth unto
you the words of a book, and they shall be the words of them which have
slumbered.
27:7 And behold the book shall be sealed; and in the book shall be a
revelation from God, from the beginning of the world to the ending
thereof.
