      should come that they must be judged of their works, yea, even

      the works which were done by the temporal body in their days of

      probation.

      1 Nephi 15:33

       33 Wherefore, if they should die in their wickedness they must

      be cast off also, as to the things which are spiritual, which are

      pertaining to righteousness; wherefore, they must be brought to

      stand before God, to be judged of their works; and if their works

      have been filthiness they must needs be filthy; and if they be

      filthy it must needs be that they cannot dwell in the kingdom of

      God; if so, the kingdom of God must be filthy also.

      1 Nephi 15:34

       34 But behold, I say unto you, the kingdom of God is not filthy,

      and there cannot any unclean thing enter into the kingdom of God;

      wherefore there must needs be a place of filthiness prepared for

      that which is filthy.

      1 Nephi 15:35

       35 And there is a place prepared, yea, even that awful hell of

      which I have spoken, and the devil is the preparator of it;

      wherefore the final state of the souls of men is to dwell in the

      kingdom of God, or to be cast out because of that justice of

      which I have spoken.

      1 Nephi 15:36

       36 Wherefore, the wicked are rejected from the righteous, and

      also from that tree of life, whose fruit is most precious and

      most desirable above all other fruits; yea, and it is the

      greatest of all the gifts of God. And thus I spake unto my

      brethren. Amen.

      1 Nephi 16 Chapter 16

      1 Nephi 16:1

       1 And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had made an end

      of speaking to my brethren, behold they said unto me: Thou hast

      declared unto us hard things, more than we are able to bear.

      1 Nephi 16:2

       2 And it came to pass that I said unto them that I knew that I

      had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the

      truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that

      they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, the guilty

      taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very

      center.

      1 Nephi 16:3

       3 And now my brethren, if ye were righteous and were willing to

      hearken to the truth, and give heed unto it, that ye might walk

      uprightly before God, then ye would not murmur because of the

      truth, and say: Thou speakest hard things against us.

      1 Nephi 16:4

       4 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did exhort my brethren,

      with all diligence, to keep the commandments of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 16:5

       5 And it came to pass that they did humble themselves before the

      Lord; insomuch that I had joy and great hopes of them, that they

      would walk in the paths of righteousness.

      1 Nephi 16:6

       6 Now, all these things were said and done as my father dwelt in

      a tent in the valley which he called Lemuel.

      1 Nephi 16:7

       7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, took one of the daughters

      of Ishmael to wife; and also, my brethren took of the daughters

      of Ishmael to wife; and also Zoram took the eldest daughter of

      Ishmael to wife.

      1 Nephi 16:8

       8 And thus my father had fulfilled all the commandments of the

      Lord which had been given unto him. And also, I, Nephi, had been

      blessed of the Lord exceedingly.

      1 Nephi 16:9

       9 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord spake unto my

      father by night, and commanded him that on the morrow he should

      take his journey into the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 16:10

       10 And it came to pass that as my father arose in the morning,

      and went forth to the tent door, to his great astonishment he

      beheld upon the ground a round ball of curious workmanship; and

      it was of fine brass. And within the ball were two spindles; and

      the one pointed the way whither we should go into the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 16:11

       11 And it came to pass that we did gather together whatsoever

      things we should carry into the wilderness, and all the remainder

      of our provisions which the Lord had given unto us; and we did

      take seed of every kind that we might carry into the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 16:12

       12 And it came to pass that we did take our tents and depart

      into the wilderness, across the river Laman.

      1 Nephi 16:13

       13 And it came to pass that we traveled for the space of four

      days, nearly a south-southeast direction, and we did pitch our

      tents again; and we did call the name of the place Shazer.

      1 Nephi 16:14

       14 And it came to pass that we did take our bows and our arrows,

      and go forth into the wilderness to slay food for our families;

      and after we had slain food for our families we did return again

      to our families in the wilderness, to the place of Shazer. And

      we did go forth again in the wilderness, following the same

      direction, keeping in the most fertile parts of the wilderness,

      which were in the borders near the Red Sea.

      1 Nephi 16:15

       15 And it came to pass that we did travel for the space of many

      days, slaying food by the way, with our bows and our arrows and

      our stones and our slings.

      1 Nephi 16:16

       16 And we did follow the directions of the ball, which led us in

      the more fertile parts of the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 16:17

       17 And after we had traveled for the space of many days, we did

      pitch our tents for the space of a time, that we might again rest

      ourselves and obtain food for our families.

      1 Nephi 16:18

       18 And it came to pass that as I, Nephi, went forth to slay

      food, behold, I did break my bow, which was made of fine steel;

      and after I did break my bow, behold, my brethren were angry with

      me
