208 Not the destruction of the soul, save it be the casting of it into that hell which hath no end;
209 For behold, this is according to the captivity of the devil, and also according to the justice of God, upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination before him.
210 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, Nephi, saying, Thou hast beheld that if the Gentiles repent, it shall be well with them;
211 And thou also knowest concerning the covenants of the Lord unto the house of Israel;
212 And thou also hast heard, that whoso repenteth not, must perish;
213 Therefore, wo, be unto the Gentiles, if it so be that they harden their hearts against the Lamb of God;
214 For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of men;
215 A work which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the other;
216 Either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal, or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds, unto their being brought down into captivity and also unto destruction, both temporally and spiritually, according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.
217 And it came to pass that when the angel had spoken these words, he said unto me, Remember thou the covenants of the Father unto the house of Israel?
