2 Nephi 9:40

O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words. Remember the greatness of the Holy One of Israel. Do not say that I have spoken hard things against you: for if ye do, ye will revile against the truth: for I have spoken the words of your Maker. I know that the words of truth are hard against all uncleanness; but the righteous fear it not, for they love the truth, and are not shaken.

My dear brothers and sisters, listen to my words. Remember how great the Holy One of Israel is. Don’t say I have spoken hard things against you. If you do, you will attack the truth. I have spoken the words of your Maker. I know the words of truth are hard against all bad things. But good people don’t fear it. They love the truth and are not shaken.

My dear friends, listen closely to me. Remember how great the Holy One of Israel is. Don’t say I’ve been too hard on you. If you do, you’re attacking the truth—because I’ve spoken the words of your Creator. I know the truth cuts against everything unclean. But the righteous don’t fear it, because they love the truth and won’t be shaken.
