1And now, Jacob spake many more things to my people at that time;     nevertheless only these things have I caused to be written, for the     things which I have written sufficeth me.

2And now I, Nephi, write more of the words of Isaiah, for my soul     delighteth in his words. For I will liken his words unto my people, and     I will send them forth unto all my children, for he verily saw my     Redeemer, even as I have seen him.

3And my brother, Jacob, also has seen him as I have seen him;     wherefore, I will send their words forth unto my children to prove unto     them that my words are true. Wherefore, by the words of three, God hath     said, I will establish my word. Nevertheless, God sendeth more     witnesses, and he proveth all his words.

4Behold, my soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of     the coming of Christ; for, for this end hath the law of Moses been     given; and all things which have been given of God from the beginning     of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him.

5And also my soul delighteth in the covenants of the Lord which he     hath made to our fathers; yea, my soul delighteth in his grace, and in     his justice, and power, and mercy in the great and eternal plan of     deliverance from death.

6And my soul delighteth in proving unto my people that save Christ     should come all men must perish.

7For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no God     we are not, for there could have been no creation. But there is a God,     and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time.

8And now I write some of the words of Isaiah, that whoso of my     people shall see these words may lift up their hearts and rejoice for     all men. Now these are the words, and ye may liken them unto you and     unto all men.
