THE BROTHER OF NEPHI

CHAPTER 1

7 Wherefore we labored diligently among our people, that we might persuade them to ^acome unto Christ, and partake of the goodness of God, that they might enter into his ^brest, lest by any means he should swear in his wrath they should not ^center in, as in the ^dprovocation in the days of temptation while the children of Israel were in the ^ewilderness.

7a	2 Ne. 9: 41 (41, 45, 51). 41 O then, my beloved brethren, ^acome unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the ^bway for man is ^cnarrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the ^dgate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name. Omni 1: 26 (25-26). 26 And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should ^acome unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and ^boffer your whole souls as an ^coffering unto him, and continue in ^dfasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.
b	TG Rest.
c	Num. 14: 23. 23 Surely they shall not ^asee the ^bland which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that ^cprovoked me see it: Deut. 1: 35 (35-37). 35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this ^aevil generation ^bsee that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers, D&C 84: 24 (23-25). 24 But they ^ahardened their hearts and could not endure his ^bpresence; therefore, the Lord in his ^cwrath, for his ^danger was kindled against them, swore that they should not ^eenter into his rest while in the wilderness, which rest is the fulness of his glory.
d	Heb. 3: 8. 8 ^aHarden not your hearts, as in the ^bprovocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
e	Num. 26: 65. 65 For the Lord had said of them, They shall surely die in the ^awilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 1 Ne. 17: 31 (23-31). 31 And it came to pass that according to his word he did ^adestroy them; and according to his word he did ^blead them; and according to his word he did do all things for them; and there was not any thing done save it were by his word.
