2 Nephi 2:14

And now, my sons, I speak unto you these things, for your profit and learning: for there is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them is; both things to act, and things to be acted upon;

My sons, I tell you these things to help you learn. There is a God. He created everything. The sky, the earth, and everything in them. Things that act and things that are acted on.

I’m telling you these things, my sons, for your benefit and learning: there is a God, and he created everything—the heavens, the earth, and everything in them. He made things that act and things that are acted upon.
