Why is verse 26 appropriately paired with verse 25?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Second Nephi 2:25 should never be quoted without also quoting verse 26. They are inextricably bound together as two pillars in the great plan of salvation. Yes, Adam fell that men might be, but ‘the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall.’ It was all planned from the beginning: the Fall and the Redemption” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 1:122–23).
