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

2 Nephi 9:30
30 But wo unto the rich, who are rich as to the things of the

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
