2 Nephi 33
Nephi's words are true—They testify of Christ—Those who believe in Christ will believe Nephi's words, which will stand as a witness before the judgment bar. About 559–545 B.C.
And
now
I,
Nephi,
cannot
write
all
the
things
which
were
taught
among
my
people;
neither
am
I
a
mighty
in
writing,
like
unto
speaking;
for
when
a
man
b
speaketh
by
the
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost
the
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost
carrieth
it
unto
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men.
2 But
behold,
there
are
many
that
a
harden
their
b
hearts
against
the
c
Holy
c
Spirit,
that
it
hath
no
place
in
them;
wherefore,
they
cast
many
things
away
which
are
written
and
esteem
them
as
things
of
naught.
3 But
I,
Nephi,
have
written
what
I
have
written,
and
I
esteem
it
as
of
great
a
worth,
and
especially
unto
my
people.
For
I
b
pray
continually
for
them
by
day,
and
mine
c
eyes
water
my
pillow
by
night,
because
of
them;
and
I
cry
unto
my
God
in
faith,
and
I
know
that
he
will
hear
my
cry.
4 And
I
know
that
the
Lord
God
will
consecrate
my
prayers
for
the
gain
of
my
people.
And
the
words
which
I
have
written
in
weakness
will
be
made
strong
unto
them;
for
it
a
persuadeth
them
to
do
good;
it
maketh
known
unto
them
of
their
fathers;
and
it
speaketh
of
Jesus,
and
persuadeth
them
to
believe
in
him,
and
to
endure
to
the
end,
which
is
life
b
eternal.
5 And
it
speaketh
a
harshly
against
sin,
according
to
the
b
plainness
of
the
truth;
wherefore,
no
man
will
be
angry
at
the
words
which
I
have
written
save
he
shall
be
of
the
spirit
of
the
devil.
6 I
a
glory
in
b
plainness;
I
glory
in
truth;
I
glory
in
my
Jesus,
for
he
hath
c
redeemed
my
soul
from
hell.
7 I
have
a
charity
for
my
people,
and
great
faith
in
Christ
that
I
shall
meet
many
souls
spotless
at
his
judgment-seat.
8 I
have
charity
for
the
a
Jew—I
say
Jew,
because
I
mean
them
from
whence
I
came.
9 I
also
have
charity
for
the
Gentiles.
But
behold,
for
none
of
a
these
can
I
hope
except
they
shall
be
b
reconciled
unto
Christ,
and
enter
into
the
c
narrow
d
gate,
and
e
walk
in
the
f
strait
path
which
leads
to
life,
and
continue
in
the
path
until
the
end
of
the
day
of
g
probation.
10 And
now,
my
beloved
brethren,
and
also
a
Jew,
and
all
ye
ends
of
the
earth,
hearken
unto
these
words
and
b
believe
in
Christ;
and
if
ye
believe
not
in
these
words
believe
in
Christ.
And
if
ye
shall
c
believe
in
Christ
ye
will
believe
in
these
d
words,
for
they
are
the
e
words
of
Christ,
and
he
hath
given
them
unto
me;
and
they
f
teach
all
men
that
they
should
do
good.
11 And
if
they
are
not
the
words
of
Christ,
judge
ye—for
Christ
will
show
unto
you,
with
a
power
and
great
b
glory,
that
they
are
his
words,
at
the
last
day;
and
you
and
I
shall
stand
face
to
face
before
his
bar;
and
ye
shall
know
that
I
have
been
commanded
of
him
to
write
these
things,
notwithstanding
my
weakness.
12 And
I
pray
the
Father
in
the
name
of
Christ
that
many
of
us,
if
not
all,
may
be
saved
in
his
a
kingdom
at
that
great
and
last
day.
13 And
now,
my
beloved
brethren,
all
those
who
are
of
the
house
of
Israel,
and
all
ye
ends
of
the
earth,
I
speak
unto
you
as
the
voice
of
one
a
crying
from
the
dust:
Farewell
until
that
great
day
shall
come.
14 And
you
that
will
not
partake
of
the
goodness
of
God,
and
respect
the
words
of
the
a
Jews,
and
also
my
b
words,
and
the
words
which
shall
proceed
forth
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Lamb
of
God,
behold,
I
bid
you
an
everlasting
farewell,
for
these
words
shall
c
condemn
you
at
the
last
day.
15 For
what
I
seal
on
earth,
shall
be
brought
against
you
at
the
a
judgment
bar;
for
thus
hath
the
Lord
commanded
me,
and
I
must
b
obey.
Amen.
