28 O that cunning aplan of the evil one! O
the bvainness, and the frailties, and
the cfoolishness of men! When they
are dlearned they think they are ewise, and
they fhearken not unto the gcounsel of God, for they
set it aside, supposing they know of themselves,
wherefore, their hwisdom is foolishness and it
profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
29 But to be alearned is good if they bhearken unto
the ccounsels of God.
Spiritual Thought/Scripture Mastery 2 Nephi 2:27
27 Wherefore, men are afree according to
the bflesh; and call things are dgiven them which are
expedient unto man. And they are free
to echoose fliberty and eternal glife, through the
great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and
death, according to the captivity and power of the
devil; for he seeketh that all men might
be hmiserable like unto himself.

Introduction 2 Nephi 25
Continuing to emphasize the importance of Isaiah’s
prophecies, Nephi explained that anyone who has the spirit of
prophecy can come to understand and appreciate Isaiah’s
words. He shared the purpose of his writing: “to persuade our
children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be
reconciled to God” (2 Nephi 25:23). He invited all to believe
in Jesus Christ and to “worship him with all [their] might,
mind, and strength, and [their] whole soul[s]” (2 Nephi
25:29).
