17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and
every tongue that shall revile against thee in judgment thou
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
3 Nephi 23 Chapter 23
3 Nephi 23:1
1 And now, behold, I say unto you, that ye ought to search these
things. Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these
things diligently; for great are the words of Isaiah.
3 Nephi 23:2
2 For surely he spake as touching all things concerning my
people which are of the house of Israel; therefore it must needs
be that he must speak also to the Gentiles.
3 Nephi 23:3
3 And all things that he spake have been and shall be, even
according to the words which he spake.
3 Nephi 23:4
4 Therefore give heed to my words; write the things which I have
told you; and according to the time and the will of the Father
they shall go forth unto the Gentiles.
3 Nephi 23:5
5 And whosoever will hearken unto my words and repenteth and is
baptized, the same shall be saved. Search the prophets, for many
there be that testify of these things.
3 Nephi 23:6
6 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had said these words
he said unto them again, after he had expounded all the
scriptures unto them which they had received, he said unto them:
Behold, other scriptures I would that ye should write, that ye
have not.
3 Nephi 23:7
7 And it came to pass that he said unto Nephi: Bring forth the
record which ye have kept.
3 Nephi 23:8
8 And when Nephi had brought forth the records, and laid them
before him, he cast his eyes upon them and said:
3 Nephi 23:9
9 Verily I say unto you, I commanded my servant Samuel, the
Lamanite, that he should testify unto this people, that at the
day that the Father should glorify his name in me that there were
many saints who should arise from the dead, and should appear
unto many, and should minister unto them. And he said unto them:
Was it not so?
3 Nephi 23:10
10 And his disciples answered him and said: Yea, Lord, Samuel
did prophesy according to thy words, and they were all fulfilled.
3 Nephi 23:11
11 And Jesus said unto them: How be it that ye have not written
this thing, that many saints did arise and appear unto many and
did minister unto them?
3 Nephi 23:12
12 And it came to pass that Nephi remembered that this thing had
not been written.
3 Nephi 23:13
13 And it came to pass that Jesus commanded that it should be
written; therefore it was written according as he commanded.
3 Nephi 23:14
14 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had expounded all the
scriptures in one, which they had written, he commanded them that
they should teach the things which he had expounded unto them.
3 Nephi 24 Chapter 24
3 Nephi 24:1
1 And it came to pass that he commanded them that they should
write the words which the Father had given unto Malachi, which he
should tell unto them. And it came to pass that after they were
written he expounded them. And these are the words which he did
tell unto them, saying: Thus said the Father unto
Malachi—Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare
the way before me, and the Lord whom ye seek shall suddenly come
to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye
delight in; behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts.
3 Nephi 24:2
2 But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand
when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like
fuller's soap.
3 Nephi 24:3
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and he
shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver,
that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
3 Nephi 24:4
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant
unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
3 Nephi 24:5
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift
witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and
against false swearers, and against those that oppress the
hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that
turn aside the stranger, and fear not me, saith the Lord of
Hosts.
3 Nephi 24:6
6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob
are not consumed.
3 Nephi 24:7
7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine
ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me and I will
return unto you, saith the Lord of Hosts. But ye say: Wherein
shall we return?
3 Nephi 24:8
8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say:
Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
3 Nephi 24:9
9 Ye are cursed with a curse, for ye have robbed me, even this
whole nation.
3 Nephi 24:10
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may
be meat in my house; and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of
Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you
out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
3 Nephi 24:11
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall
not destroy the fruits of your ground;
