2 Nephi 6:50 - 2 Nephi 6:60
50 For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, hath spoken it;
51 Wherefore he hath given a law; and where there is no law given there is no punishment;
52 And where there is no punishment, there is no condemnation;
53 And where there is no condemnation, the mercies of the Holy One of Israel have claim upon them, because of the atonement:
54 For they are delivered by the power of him: 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;
55 And they are restored to that God who gave them breath, which is the Holy One of Israel.
56 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!
57 O that cunning plan of the evil one!
58 O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men!
59 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;
60 Wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness, and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
