2 Nephi 31:14–16

But, behold, my beloved brethren, thus came the voice of the Son unto me, saying:

“After ye have repented of your sins, and witnessed unto the Father that ye are willing to keep my commandments, by the baptism of water, and have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, and can speak with a new tongue, yea, even with the tongue of angels, and after this should deny me, it would have been better for you that ye had not known me.”

And I heard a voice from the Father, saying:

“Yea, the words of my Beloved are true and faithful.
he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.”

And now, my beloved brethren, I know by this that unless a man shall endure to the end, in following the example of the Son of the living God, he cannot be saved.
