1 Nephi 4:53 - 1 Nephi 4:63
53 Wherefore, if they should die in their wickedness, they must be cast off also, as to the things which are spiritual, which are pertaining to righteousness;
54 Wherefore, they must be brought to stand before God to be judged of their works:
55 And if their works have been filthiness, they must needs be filthy:
56 And if they be filthy, it must needs be that they can not dwell in the kingdom of God:
57 If so, the kingdom of God must be filthy also.
58 But behold, I say unto you, the kingdom of God is not filthy, and there can not any unclean thing enter into the kingdom of God;
59 Wherefore, there must needs be a place of filthiness prepared for that which is filthy.
60 And there is a place prepared, yea, even that awful hell of which I have spoken, and the devil is the foundation of it;
61 Wherefore, the final state of the souls of men is to dwell in the kingdom of God, or to be cast out because of that justice of which I have spoken;
62 Wherefore, the wicked are rejected from the righteous and also from that tree of life, whose fruit is most precious and most desirable above all other fruits:
63 Yea, and it is the greatest of all the gifts of God.
