Alma 1:1
Now it came to pass that in the first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, from this time forward, king Mosiah having gone the way of all the earth, having warred a good warfare, walking uprightly before God, leaving none to reign in his stead; nevertheless he had established laws, and they were acknowledged by the people; therefore they were obliged to abide by the laws which he had made.

Alma 1:2
And it came to pass that in the first year of the reign of Alma in the judgment-seat, there wass=hlblue>as a man brought before him to be judged, a man who wass=hlblue>as large, and wass=hlblue>as noted for his much strength.

Alma 1:4
And he also testified unto the people that all mankind should be saved at the last day, and that they need not fear nor tremble, but that they might lift up their heads and rejoice; for the Lord had created all men, and had also redeemed all men; and, in the end, all men should have eternal life.

Alma 1:5
And it came to pass that he did teach these things so much that many did believe on his words, even so many that they began to support him and give him money.

Alma 1:7
And it came to pass ass=hlgree>as he wass=hlblue>as going, to preach to those who believed on his word, he met a man who belonged to the church of God, yea, even one of their teachers; and he began to contend with him sharply, that he might lead away the people of the church; but the man withstood him, admonishing him with the words of God.

Alma 1:8
Now the name of the man wass=hlblue>as Gideon; and it wass=hlblue>as he who wass=hlblue>as an instrument in the hands of God in delivering the people of Limhi out of bondage.

Alma 1:9
Now, because Gideon withstood him with the words of God he wass=hlblue>as wroth with Gideon, and drew his sword and began to smite him. Now Gideon being stricken with many years, therefore he wass=hlblue>as not able to withstand his blows, therefore he wass=hlblue>as slain by the sword.

Alma 1:10
And the man who slew him wass=hlblue>as taken by the people of the church, and wass=hlblue>as brought before Alma, to be judged according to the crimes which he had committed.

Alma 1:11
And it came to pass that he stood before Alma and pled for himself with much boldness.

Alma 1:12
But Alma said unto him: Behold, this is the first time that priestcraft hass=hlblue>as been introduced among this people. And behold, thou art not only guilty of priestcraft, but hast endeavored to enforce it by the sword; and were priestcraft to be enforced among this people it would prove their entire destruction.

Alma 1:13
And thou hast shed the blood of a righteous man, yea, a man who hass=hlblue>as done much good among this people; and were we to spare thee his blood would come upon us for vengeance.

Alma 1:14
Therefore thou art condemned to die, according to the law which hass=hlblue>as been given us by Mosiah, our last king; and it hass=hlblue>as been acknowledged by this people; therefore this people must abide by the law.

Alma 1:15
And it came to pass that they took him; and his name wass=hlblue>as Nehor; and they carried him upon the top of the hill Manti, and there he wass=hlblue>as caused, or rather did acknowledge, between the heavens and the earth, that what he had taught to the people wass=hlblue>as contrary to the word of God; and there he suffered an ignominious death.

Alma 1:18
And they durst not steal, for fear of the law, for such were punished; neither durst they rob, nor murder, for he that murdered wass=hlblue>as punished unto death.

Alma 1:19
But it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church of God began to persecute those that did belong to the church of God, and had taken upon them the name of Christ.

Alma 1:21
Now there wass=hlblue>as a strict law among the people of the church, that there should not any man, belonging to the church, arise and persecute those that did not belong to the church, and that there should be no persecution among themselves.

Alma 1:23
Now this wass=hlblue>as in the second year of the reign of Alma, and it wass=hlblue>as a cause of much affliction to the church; yea, it wass=hlblue>as the cause of much trial with the church.

Alma 1:25
Now this wass=hlblue>as a great trial to those that did stand fast in the faith; nevertheless, they were steadfast and immovable in keeping the commandments of God, and they bore with patience the persecution which wass=hlblue>as heaped upon them.

Alma 1:26
And when the priests left their labor to impart the word of God unto the people, the people also left their labors to hear the word of God. And when the priest had imparted unto them the word of God they all returned again diligently unto their labors; and the priest, not esteeming himself above his hearers, for the preacher wass=hlblue>as no better than the hearer, neither wass=hlblue>as the teacher any better than the learner; and thus they were all equal, and they did all labor, every man according to his strength.

Alma 1:30
And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were athirst, or that were sick, or that had not been nourished; and they did not set their hearts upon riches; therefore they were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church, having no respect to persons ass=hlgree>as to those who stood in need.

Alma 1:32
For those who did not belong to their church did indulge themselves in sorceries, and in idolatry or idleness, and in babblings, and in envyings and strife; wearing costly apparel; being lifted up in the pride of their own eyes; persecuting, lying, thieving, robbing, committing whoredoms, and murdering, and all manner of wickedness; nevertheless, the law wass=hlblue>as put in force upon all those who did transgress it, inasmuch ass=hlgree>as it wass=hlblue>as possible.

Alma 1:33
And it came to pass that by thus exercising the law upon them, every man suffering according to that which he had done, they became more still, and durst not commit any wickedness if it were known; therefore, there wass=hlblue>as much peace among the people of Nephi until the fifth year of the reign of the judges.

Alma 2:1
And it came to pass in the commencement of the fifth year of their reign there began to be a contention among the people; for a certain man, being called Amlici, he being a very cunning man, yea, a wise man ass=hlgree>as to the wisdom of the world, he being after the order of the man that slew Gideon by the sword, who wass=hlblue>as executed according to the law--

Alma 2:3
Now this wass=hlblue>as alarming to the people of the church, and also to all those who had not been drawn away after the persuasions of Amlici; for they knew that according to their law that such things must be established by the voice of the people.

Alma 2:4
Therefore, if it were possible that Amlici should gain the voice of the people, he, being a wicked man, would deprive them of their rights and privileges of the church; for it wass=hlblue>as his intent to destroy the church of God.

Alma 2:5
And it came to pass that the people ass=hlblue>assembled themselves together throughout all the land, every man according to his mind, whether it were for or against Amlici, in separate bodies, having much dispute and wonderful contentions one with another.

Alma 2:6
And thus they did ass=hlblue>assemble themselves together to cast in their voices concerning the matter; and they were laid before the judges.

Alma 2:7
And it came to pass that the voice of the people came against Amlici, that he wass=hlblue>as not made king over the people.

Alma 2:9
And it came to pass that they gathered themselves together, and did consecrate Amlici to be their king.

Alma 2:10
Now when Amlici wass=hlblue>as made king over them he commanded them that they should take up arms against their brethren; and this he did that he might subject them to him.

Alma 2:14
And it came to pass that Amlici did arm his men with all manner of weapons of war of every kind; and he also appointed rulers and leaders over his people, to lead them to war against their brethren.

Alma 2:15
And it came to pass that the Amlicites came upon the hill Amnihu, which wass=hlblue>as east of the river Sidon, which ran by the land of Zarahemla, and there they began to make war with the Nephites.

Alma 2:17
And they began to slay the Amlicites upon the hill east of Sidon. And the Amlicites did contend with the Nephites with great strength, insomuch that many of the Nephites did fall before the Amlicites.

Alma 2:19
And it came to pass that the Nephites did pursue the Amlicites all that day, and did slay them with much slaughter, insomuch that there were slain of the Amlicites twelve thousand five hundred thirty and two souls; and there were slain of the Nephites six thousand five hundred sixty and two souls.

Alma 2:20
And it came to pass that when Alma could pursue the Amlicites no longer he caused that his people should pitch their tents in the valley of Gideon, the valley being called after that Gideon who wass=hlblue>as slain by the hand of Nehor with the sword; and in this valley the Nephites did pitch their tents for the night.

Alma 2:23
And it came to pass that on the morrow they returned into the camp of the Nephites in great haste, being greatly ass=hlblue>astonished, and struck with much fear, saying:

Alma 2:24
Behold, we followed the camp of the Amlicites, and to our great ass=hlblue>astonishment, in the land of Minon, above the land of Zarahemla, in the course of the land of Nephi, we saw a numerous host of the Lamanites; and behold, the Amlicites have joined them;

Alma 2:25
And they are upon our brethren in that land; and they are fleeing before them with their flocks, and their wives, and their children, towards our city; and except we make haste they obtain possession of our city, and our fathers, and our wives, and our children be slain.

Alma 2:26
And it came to pass that the people of Nephi took their tents, and departed out of the valley of Gideon towards their city, which wass=hlblue>as the city of Zarahemla.

Alma 2:27
And behold, ass=hlgree>as they were crossing the river Sidon, the Lamanites and the Amlicites, being ass=hlgree>as numerous almost, ass=hlgree>as it were, ass=hlgree>as the sands of the sea, came upon them to destroy them.

Alma 2:29
And it came to pass that Alma fought with Amlici with the sword, face to face; and they did contend mightily, one with another.

Alma 2:30
And it came to pass that Alma, being a man of God, being exercised with much faith, cried, saying: O Lord, have mercy and spare my life, that I may be an instrument in thy hands to save and preserve this people.

Alma 2:31
Now when Alma had said these words he contended again with Amlici; and he wass=hlblue>as strengthened, insomuch that he slew Amlici with the sword.

Alma 2:34
And thus he cleared the ground, or rather the bank, which wass=hlblue>as on the west of the river Sidon, throwing the bodies of the Lamanites who had been slain into the waters of Sidon, that thereby his people might have room to cross and contend with the Lamanites and the Amlicites on the west side of the river Sidon.

Alma 2:35
And it came to pass that when they had all crossed the river Sidon that the Lamanites and the Amlicites began to flee before them, notwithstanding they were so numerous that they could not be numbered.

Alma 2:36
And they fled before the Nephites towards the wilderness which wass=hlblue>as west and north, away beyond the borders of the land; and the Nephites did pursue them with their might, and did slay them.

Alma 2:37
Yea, they were met on every hand, and slain and driven, until they were scattered on the west, and on the north, until they had reached the wilderness, which wass=hlblue>as called Hermounts; and it wass=hlblue>as that part of the wilderness which wass=hlblue>as infested by wild and ravenous beasts.

Alma 2:38
And it came to pass that many died in the wilderness of their wounds, and were devoured by those beasts and also the vultures of the air; and their bones have been found, and have been heaped up on the earth.

Alma 3:1
And it came to pass that the Nephites who were not slain by the weapons of war, after having buried those who had been slain-- now the number of the slain were not numbered, because of the greatness of their number-- after they had finished burying their dead they all returned to their lands, and to their houses, and their wives, and their children.

Alma 3:3
And now ass=hlgree>as many of the Lamanites and the Amlicites who had been slain upon the bank of the river Sidon were cast into the waters of Sidon; and behold their bones are in the depths of the sea, and they are many.

Alma 3:5
Now the heads of the Lamanites were shorn; and they were naked, save it were skin which wass=hlblue>as girded about their loins, and also their armor, which wass=hlblue>as girded about them, and their bows, and their arrows, and their stones, and their slings, and so forth.

Alma 3:6
And the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark which wass=hlblue>as set upon their fathers, which wass=hlblue>as a curse upon them because of their transgression and their rebellion against their brethren, who consisted of Nephi, Jacob, and Joseph, and Sam, who were just and holy men.

Alma 3:8
And this wass=hlblue>as done that their seed might be distinguished from the seed of their brethren, that thereby the Lord God might preserve his people, that they might not mix and believe in incorrect traditions which would prove their destruction.

Alma 3:9
And it came to pass that whosoever did mingle his seed with that of the Lamanites did bring the same curse upon his seed.

Alma 3:10
Therefore, whosoever suffered himself to be led away by the Lamanites wass=hlblue>as called under that head, and there wass=hlblue>as a mark set upon him.

Alma 3:11
And it came to pass that whosoever would not believe in the tradition of the Lamanites, but believed those records which were brought out of the land of Jerusalem, and also in the tradition of their fathers, which were correct, who believed in the commandments of God and kept them, were called the Nephites, or the people of Nephi, from that time forth--

Alma 3:18
Now the Amlicites knew not that they were fulfilling the words of God when they began to mark themselves in their foreheads; nevertheless they had come out in open rebellion against God; therefore it wass=hlblue>as expedient that the curse should fall upon them.

Alma 3:20
Now it came to pass that not many days after the battle which wass=hlblue>as fought in the land of Zarahemla, by the Lamanites and the Amlicites, that there wass=hlblue>as another army of the Lamanites came in upon the people of Nephi, in the same place where the first army met the Amlicites.

Alma 3:21
And it came to pass that there wass=hlblue>as an army sent to drive them out of their land.

Alma 4:1
Now it came to pass in the sixth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, there were no contentions nor wars in the land of Zarahemla;

Alma 4:3
And so great were their afflictions that every soul had cause to mourn; and they believed that it wass=hlblue>as the judgments of God sent upon them because of their wickedness and their abominations; therefore they were awakened to a remembrance of their duty.

Alma 4:5
And it came to pass in the seventh year of the reign of the judges there were about three thousand five hundred souls that united themselves to the church of God and were baptized. And thus ended the seventh year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi; and there wass=hlblue>as continual peace in all that time.

Alma 4:6
And it came to pass in the eighth year of the reign of the judges, that the people of the church began to wax proud, because of their exceeding riches, and their fine silks, and their fine-twined linen, and because of their many flocks and herds, and their gold and their silver, and all manner of precious things, which they had obtained by their industry; and in all these things were they lifted up in the pride of their eyes, for they began to wear very costly apparel.

Alma 4:7
Now this wass=hlblue>as the cause of much affliction to Alma, yea, and to many of the people whom Alma had consecrated to be teachers, and priests, and elders over the church; yea, many of them were sorely grieved for the wickedness which they saw had begun to be among their people.

Alma 4:8
For they saw and beheld with great sorrow that the people of the church began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes, and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world, that they began to be scornful, one towards another, and they began to persecute those that did not believe according to their own will and pleasure.

Alma 4:10
And thus ended the eighth year of the reign of the judges; and the wickedness of the church wass=hlblue>as a great stumbling-block to those who did not belong to the church; and thus the church began to fail in its progress.

Alma 4:11
And it came to pass in the commencement of the ninth year, Alma saw the wickedness of the church, and he saw also that the example of the church began to lead those who were unbelievers on from one piece of iniquity to another, thus bringing on the destruction of the people.

Alma 4:13
Now this wass=hlblue>as a great cause for lamentations among the people, while others were abasing themselves, succoring those who stood in need of their succor, such ass=hlgree>as imparting their substance to the poor and the needy, feeding the hungry, and suffering all manner of afflictions, for Christ's sake, who should come according to the spirit of prophecy;

Alma 4:15
And now it came to pass that Alma, having seen the afflictions of the humble followers of God, and the persecutions which were heaped upon them by the remainder of his people, and seeing all their inequality, began to be very sorrowful; nevertheless the Spirit of the Lord did not fail him.

Alma 4:16
And he selected a wise man who wass=hlblue>as among the elders of the church, and gave him power according to the voice of the people, that he might have power to enact laws according to the laws which had been given, and to put them in force according to the wickedness and the crimes of the people.

Alma 4:17
Now this man's name wass=hlblue>as Nephihah, and he wass=hlblue>as appointed chief judge; and he sat in the judgment-seat to judge and to govern the people.

Alma 5:1
Now it came to pass that Alma began to deliver the word of God unto the people, first in the land of Zarahemla, and from thence throughout all the land.

Alma 5:2
And these are the words which he spake to the people in the church which wass=hlblue>as established in the city of Zarahemla, according to his own record, saying:

Alma 5:3
I, Alma, having been consecrated by my father, Alma, to be a high priest over the church of God, he having power and authority from God to do these things, behold, I say unto you that he began to establish a church in the land which wass=hlblue>as in the borders of Nephi; yea, the land which wass=hlblue>as called the land of Mormon; yea, and he did baptize his brethren in the waters of Mormon.

Alma 5:6
And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, you that belong to this church, have you sufficiently retained in remembrance the captivity of your fathers? Yea, and have you sufficiently retained in remembrance his mercy and long-suffering towards them? And moreover, have ye sufficiently retained in remembrance that he hass=hlblue>as delivered their souls from hell?

Alma 5:7
Behold, he changed their hearts; yea, he awakened them out of a deep sleep, and they awoke unto God. Behold, they were in the midst of darkness; nevertheless, their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word; yea, they were encircled about by the bands of death, and the chains of hell, and an everlasting destruction did await them.

Alma 5:8
And now I ass=hlblue>ask of you, my brethren, were they destroyed? Behold, I say unto you, Nay, they were not.

Alma 5:9
And again I ass=hlblue>ask, were the bands of death broken, and the chains of hell which encircled them about, were they loosed? I say unto you, Yea, they were loosed, and their souls did expand, and they did sing redeeming love. And I say unto you that they are saved.

Alma 5:10
And now I ass=hlblue>ask of you on what conditions are they saved? Yea, what grounds had they to hope for salvation? What is the cause of their being loosed from the bands of death, yea, and also the chains of hell?

Alma 5:11
Behold, I can tell you-- did not my father Alma believe in the words which were delivered by the mouth of Abinadi? And wass=hlblue>as he not a holy prophet? Did he not speak the words of God, and my father Alma believe them?

Alma 5:12
And according to his faith there wass=hlblue>as a mighty change wrought in his heart. Behold I say unto you that this is all true.

Alma 5:13
And behold, he preached the word unto your fathers, and a mighty change wass=hlblue>as also wrought in their hearts, and they humbled themselves and put their trust in the true and living God. And behold, they were faithful until the end; therefore they were saved.

Alma 5:14
And now behold, I ass=hlblue>ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?

Alma 5:21
I say unto you, ye will know at that day that ye cannot be saved; for there can no man be saved except his garments are washed white; yea, his garments must be purified until they are cleansed from all stain, through the blood of him of whom it hass=hlblue>as been spoken by our fathers, who should come to redeem his people from their sins.

Alma 5:22
And now I ass=hlblue>ask of you, my brethren, how will any of you feel, if ye shall stand before the bar of God, having your garments stained with blood and all manner of filthiness? Behold, what will these things testify against you?

Alma 5:25
I say unto you, Nay; except ye make our Creator a liar from the beginning, or suppose that he is a liar from the beginning, ye cannot suppose that such can have place in the kingdom of heaven; but they shall be cast out for they are the children of the kingdom of the devil.

Alma 5:26
And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ass=hlblue>ask, can ye feel so now?

Alma 5:35
Yea, come unto me and bring forth works of righteousness, and ye shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire--

Alma 5:37
O ye workers of iniquity; ye that are puffed up in the vain things of the world, ye that have professed to have known the ways of righteousness nevertheless have gone ass=hlblue>astray, ass=hlgree>as sheep having no shepherd, notwithstanding a shepherd hath called after you and is still calling after you, but ye will not hearken unto his voice!

Alma 5:42
And whosoever doeth this must receive his wages of him; therefore, for his wages he receiveth death, ass=hlgree>as to things pertaining unto righteousness, being dead unto all good works.

Alma 5:46
Behold, I say unto you they are made known unto me by the Holy Spirit of God. Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know these things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for the Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this is the spirit of revelation which is in me.

Alma 5:47
And moreover, I say unto you that it hass=hlblue>as thus been revealed unto me, that the words which have been spoken by our fathers are true, even so according to the spirit of prophecy which is in me, which is also by the manifestation of the Spirit of God.

Alma 5:48
I say unto you, that I know of myself that whatsoever I shall say unto you, concerning that which is to come, is true; and I say unto you, that I know that Jesus Christ shall come, yea, the Son, the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace, and mercy, and truth. And behold, it is he that cometh to take away the sins of the world, yea, the sins of every man who steadfastly believeth on his name.

Alma 5:52
And again I say unto you, the Spirit saith: Behold, the ax is laid at the root of the tree; therefore every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down and cast into the fire, yea, a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire. Behold, and remember, the Holy One hath spoken it.

Alma 5:53
And now my beloved brethren, I say unto you, can ye withstand these sayings; yea, can ye lay ass=hlblue>aside these things, and trample the Holy One under your feet; yea, can ye be puffed up in the pride of your hearts; yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of costly apparel and setting your hearts upon the vain things of the world, upon your riches?

Alma 5:56
And finally, all ye that will persist in your wickedness, I say unto you that these are they who shall be hewn down and cast into the fire except they speedily repent.

Alma 5:59
For what shepherd is there among you having many sheep doth not watch over them, that the wolves enter not and devour his flock? And behold, if a wolf enter his flock doth he not drive him out? Yea, and at the last, if he can, he will destroy him.

Alma 6:1
And now it came to pass that after Alma had made an end of speaking unto the people of the church, which wass=hlblue>as established in the city of Zarahemla, he ordained priests and elders, by laying on his hands according to the order of God, to preside and watch over the church.

Alma 6:2
And it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church who repented of their sins were baptized unto repentance, and were received into the church.

Alma 6:3
And it also came to pass that whosoever did belong to the church that did not repent of their wickedness and humble themselves before God-- I mean those who were lifted up in the pride of their hearts-- the same were rejected, and their names were blotted out, that their names were not numbered among those of the righteous.

Alma 6:5
Now I would that ye should understand that the word of God wass=hlblue>as liberal unto all, that none were deprived of the privilege of ass=hlblue>assembling themselves together to hear the word of God.

Alma 6:6
Nevertheless the children of God were commanded that they should gather themselves together oft, and join in fasting and mighty prayer in behalf of the welfare of the souls of those who knew not God.

Alma 6:7
And now it came to pass that when Alma had made these regulations he departed from them, yea, from the church which wass=hlblue>as in the city of Zarahemla, and went over upon the east of the river Sidon, into the valley of Gideon, there having been a city built, which wass=hlblue>as called the city of Gideon, which wass=hlblue>as in the valley that wass=hlblue>as called Gideon, being called after the man who wass=hlblue>as slain by the hand of Nehor with the sword.

Alma 6:8
And Alma went and began to declare the word of God unto the church which wass=hlblue>as established in the valley of Gideon, according to the revelation of the truth of the word which had been spoken by his fathers, and according to the spirit of prophecy which wass=hlblue>as in him, according to the testimony of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who should come to redeem his people from their sins, and the holy order by which he wass=hlblue>as called. And thus it is written. Amen.

Alma 7:6
But behold, I trust that ye are not in a state of so much unbelief ass=hlgree>as were your brethren; I trust that ye are not lifted up in the pride of your hearts; yea, I trust that ye have not set your hearts upon riches and the vain things of the world; yea, I trust that you do not worship idols, but that ye do worship the true and the living God, and that ye look forward for the remission of your sins, with an everlasting faith, which is to come.

Alma 7:8
Behold, I do not say that he will come among us at the time of his dwelling in his mortal tabernacle; for behold, the Spirit hath not said unto me that this should be the case. Now ass=hlgree>as to this thing I do not know; but this much I do know, that the Lord God hath power to do all things which are according to his word.

Alma 7:14
Now I say unto you that ye must repent, and be born again; for the Spirit saith if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye may be washed from your sins, that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.

Alma 7:15
Yea, I say unto you come and fear not, and lay ass=hlblue>aside every sin, which easily doth beset you, which doth bind you down to destruction, yea, come and go forth, and show unto your God that ye are willing to repent of your sins and enter into a covenant with him to keep his commandments, and witness it unto him this day by going into the waters of baptism.

Alma 7:18
For ass=hlgree>as I said unto you from the beginning, that I had much desire that ye were not in the state of dilemma like your brethren, even so I have found that my desires have been gratified.

Alma 7:20
I perceive that it hass=hlblue>as been made known unto you, by the testimony of his word, that he cannot walk in crooked paths; neither doth he vary from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left, or from that which is right to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round.

Alma 7:21
And he doth not dwell in unholy temples; neither can filthiness or anything which is unclean be received into the kingdom of God; therefore I say unto you the time shall come, yea, and it shall be at the last day, that he who is filthy shall remain in his filthiness.

Alma 7:23
And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; ass=hlblue>asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.

Alma 7:25
And may the Lord bless you, and keep your garments spotless, that ye may at last be brought to sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the holy prophets who have been ever since the world began, having your garments spotless even ass=hlgree>as their garments are spotless, in the kingdom of heaven to go no more out.

Alma 8:1
And now it came to pass that Alma returned from the land of Gideon, after having taught the people of Gideon many things which cannot be written, having established the order of the church, according ass=hlgree>as he had before done in the land of Zarahemla, yea, he returned to his own house at Zarahemla to rest himself from the labors which he had performed.

Alma 8:3
And it came to pass in the commencement of the tenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, that Alma departed from thence and took his journey over into the land of Melek, on the west of the river Sidon, on the west by the borders of the wilderness.

Alma 8:5
And it came to pass that the people came to him throughout all the borders of the land which wass=hlblue>as by the wilderness side. And they were baptized throughout all the land;

Alma 8:6
So that when he had finished his work at Melek he departed thence, and traveled three days' journey on the north of the land of Melek; and he came to a city which wass=hlblue>as called Ammonihah.

Alma 8:7
Now it wass=hlblue>as the custom of the people of Nephi to call their lands, and their cities, and their villages, yea, even all their small villages, after the name of him who first possessed them; and thus it wass=hlblue>as with the land of Ammonihah.

Alma 8:8
And it came to pass that when Alma had come to the city of Ammonihah he began to preach the word of God unto them.

Alma 8:11
Nevertheless, they hardened their hearts, saying unto him: Behold, we know that thou art Alma; and we know that thou art high priest over the church which thou hast established in many parts of the land, according to your tradition; and we are not of thy church, and we do not believe in such foolish traditions.

Alma 8:12
And now we know that because we are not of thy church we know that thou hast no power over us; and thou hast delivered up the judgment-seat unto Nephihah; therefore thou art not the chief judge over us.

Alma 8:13
Now when the people had said this, and withstood all his words, and reviled him, and spit upon him, and caused that he should be cast out of their city, he departed thence and took his journey towards the city which wass=hlblue>as called Aaron.

Alma 8:14
And it came to pass that while he wass=hlblue>as journeying thither, being weighed down with sorrow, wading through much tribulation and anguish of soul, because of the wickedness of the people who were in the city of Ammonihah, it came to pass while Alma wass=hlblue>as thus weighed down with sorrow, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto him, saying:

Alma 8:15
Blessed art thou, Alma; therefore, lift up thy head and rejoice, for thou hast great cause to rejoice; for thou hast been faithful in keeping the commandments of God from the time which thou receivedst thy first message from him. Behold, I am he that delivered it unto you.

Alma 8:17
For behold, they do study at this time that they may destroy the liberty of thy people, (for thus saith the Lord) which is contrary to the statutes, and judgments, and commandments which he hass=hlblue>as given unto his people.

Alma 8:18
Now it came to pass that after Alma had received his message from the angel of the Lord he returned speedily to the land of Ammonihah. And he entered the city by another way, yea, by the way which is on the south of the city of Ammonihah.

Alma 8:19
And ass=hlgree>as he entered the city he wass=hlblue>as an hungered, and he said to a man: Will ye give to an humble servant of God something to eat?

Alma 8:21
And it came to pass that the man received him into his house; and the man wass=hlblue>as called Amulek; and he brought forth bread and meat and set before Alma.

Alma 8:22
And it came to pass that Alma ate bread and wass=hlblue>as filled; and he blessed Amulek and his house, and he gave thanks unto God.

Alma 8:23
And after he had eaten and wass=hlblue>as filled he said unto Amulek: I am Alma, and am the high priest over the church of God throughout the land.

Alma 8:24
And behold, I have been called to preach the word of God among all this people, according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy; and I wass=hlblue>as in this land and they would not receive me, but they cast me out and I wass=hlblue>as about to set my back towards this land forever.

Alma 8:26
And now, Amulek, because thou hast fed me and taken me in, thou art blessed; for I wass=hlblue>as an hungered, for I had fasted many days.

Alma 8:28
And it came to pass that the people did wax more gross in their iniquities.

Alma 8:31
And they had power given unto them, insomuch that they could not be confined in dungeons; neither wass=hlblue>as it possible that any man could slay them; nevertheless they did not exercise their power until they were bound in bands and cast into prison. Now, this wass=hlblue>as done that the Lord might show forth his power in them.

Alma 8:32
And it came to pass that they went forth and began to preach and to prophesy unto the people, according to the spirit and power which the Lord had given them.

Alma 9:1
And again, I, Alma, having been commanded of God that I should take Amulek and go forth and preach again unto this people, or the people who were in the city of Ammonihah, it came to pass ass=hlgree>as I began to preach unto them, they began to contend with me, saying:

Alma 9:2
Who art thou? Suppose ye that we shall believe the testimony of one man, although he should preach unto us that the earth should pass away?

Alma 9:3
Now they understood not the words which they spake; for they knew not that the earth should pass away.

Alma 9:9
Do ye not remember that our father, Lehi, wass=hlblue>as brought out of Jerusalem by the hand of God? Do ye not remember that they were all led by him through the wilderness?

Alma 9:12
Behold, now I say unto you that he commandeth you to repent; and except ye repent, ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. But behold, this is not all-- he hass=hlblue>as commanded you to repent, or he will utterly destroy you from off the face of the earth; yea, he will visit you in his anger, and in his fierce anger he will not turn away.

Alma 9:13
Behold, do ye not remember the words which he spake unto Lehi, saying that: Inasmuch ass=hlgree>as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper in the land? And again it is said that: Inasmuch ass=hlgree>as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Alma 9:14
Now I would that ye should remember, that inasmuch ass=hlgree>as the Lamanites have not kept the commandments of God, they have been cut off from the presence of the Lord. Now we see that the word of the Lord hass=hlblue>as been verified in this thing, and the Lamanites have been cut off from his presence, from the beginning of their transgressions in the land.

Alma 9:20
Yea, after having been such a highly favored people of the Lord; yea, after having been favored above every other nation, kindred, tongue, or people; after having had all things made known unto them, according to their desires, and their faith, and prayers, of that which hass=hlblue>as been, and which is, and which is to come;

Alma 9:22
Yea, and after having been delivered of God out of the land of Jerusalem, by the hand of the Lord; having been saved from famine, and from sickness, and all manner of diseases of every kind; and they having waxed strong in battle, that they might not be destroyed; having been brought out of bondage time after time, and having been kept and preserved until now; and they have been prospered until they are rich in all manner of things--

Alma 9:23
And now behold I say unto you, that if this people, who have received so many blessings from the hand of the Lord, should transgress contrary to the light and knowledge which they do have, I say unto you that if this be the case, that if they should fall into transgression, it would be far more tolerable for the Lamanites than for them.

Alma 9:24
For behold, the promises of the Lord are extended to the Lamanites, but they are not unto you if ye transgress; for hass=hlblue>as not the Lord expressly promised and firmly decreed, that if ye will rebel against him that ye shall utterly be destroyed from off the face of the earth?

Alma 9:25
And now for this cause, that ye may not be destroyed, the Lord hass=hlblue>as sent his angel to visit many of his people, declaring unto them that they must go forth and cry mightily unto this people, saying: Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is nigh at hand;

Alma 9:31
Now it came to pass that when I, Alma, had spoken these words, behold, the people were wroth with me because I said unto them that they were a hard-hearted and a stiffnecked people.

Alma 9:32
And also because I said unto them that they were a lost and a fallen people they were angry with me, and sought to lay their hands upon me, that they might cast me into prison.

Alma 9:33
But it came to pass that the Lord did not suffer them that they should take me at that time and cast me into prison.

Alma 9:34
And it came to pass that Amulek went and stood forth, and began to preach unto them also. And now the words of Amulek are not all written, nevertheless a part of his words are written in this book.

Alma 10:2
I am Amulek; I am the son of Giddonah, who wass=hlblue>as the son of Ishmael, who wass=hlblue>as a descendant of Aminadi; and it wass=hlblue>as that same Aminadi who interpreted the writing which wass=hlblue>as upon the wall of the temple, which wass=hlblue>as written by the finger of God.

Alma 10:3
And Aminadi wass=hlblue>as a descendant of Nephi, who wass=hlblue>as the son of Lehi, who came out of the land of Jerusalem, who wass=hlblue>as a descendant of Manasseh, who wass=hlblue>as the son of Joseph who wass=hlblue>as sold into Egypt by the hands of his brethren.

Alma 10:6
Nevertheless, I did harden my heart, for I wass=hlblue>as called many times and I would not hear; therefore I knew concerning these things, yet I would not know; therefore I went on rebelling against God, in the wickedness of my heart, even until the fourth day of this seventh month, which is in the tenth year of the reign of the judges.

Alma 10:7
ass=hlgree>As I wass=hlblue>as journeying to see a very near kindred, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto me and said: Amulek, return to thine own house, for thou shalt feed a prophet of the Lord; yea, a holy man, who is a chosen man of God; for he hass=hlblue>as fasted many days because of the sins of this people, and he is an hungered, and thou shalt receive him into thy house and feed him, and he shall bless thee and thy house; and the blessing of the Lord shall rest upon thee and thy house.

Alma 10:8
And it came to pass that I obeyed the voice of the angel, and returned towards my house. And ass=hlgree>as I wass=hlblue>as going thither I found the man whom the angel said unto me: Thou shalt receive into thy house-- and behold it wass=hlblue>as this same man who hass=hlblue>as been speaking unto you concerning the things of God.

Alma 10:9
And the angel said unto me he is a holy man; wherefore I know he is a holy man because it wass=hlblue>as said by an angel of God.

Alma 10:10
And again, I know that the things whereof he hath testified are true; for behold I say unto you, that ass=hlgree>as the Lord liveth, even so hass=hlblue>as he sent his angel to make these things manifest unto me; and this he hass=hlblue>as done while this Alma hath dwelt at my house.

Alma 10:12
And now, when Amulek had spoken these words the people began to be ass=hlblue>astonished, seeing there wass=hlblue>as more than one witness who testified of the things whereof they were accused, and also of the things which were to come, according to the spirit of prophecy which wass=hlblue>as in them.

Alma 10:13
Nevertheless, there were some among them who thought to question them, that by their cunning devices they might catch them in their words, that they might find witness against them, that they might deliver them to their judges that they might be judged according to the law, and that they might be slain or cast into prison, according to the crime which they could make appear or witness against them.

Alma 10:14
Now it wass=hlblue>as those men who sought to destroy them, who were lawyers, who were hired or appointed by the people to administer the law at their times of trials, or at the trials of the crimes of the people before the judges.

Alma 10:15
Now these lawyers were learned in all the arts and cunning of the people; and this wass=hlblue>as to enable them that they might be skilful in their profession.

Alma 10:16
And it came to pass that they began to question Amulek, that thereby they might make him cross his words, or contradict the words which he should speak.

Alma 10:17
Now they knew not that Amulek could know of their designs. But it came to pass ass=hlgree>as they began to question him, he perceived their thoughts, and he said unto them: O ye wicked and perverse generation, ye lawyers and hypocrites, for ye are laying the foundations of the devil; for ye are laying traps and snares to catch the holy ones of God.

Alma 10:19
Yea, well did Mosiah say, who wass=hlblue>as our last king, when he wass=hlblue>as about to deliver up the kingdom, having no one to confer it upon, causing that this people should be governed by their own voices-- yea, well did he say that if the time should come that the voice of this people should choose iniquity, that is, if the time should come that this people should fall into transgression, they would be ripe for destruction.

Alma 10:22
Yea, and I say unto you that if it were not for the prayers of the righteous, who are now in the land, that ye would even now be visited with utter destruction; yet it would not be by flood, ass=hlgree>as were the people in the days of Noah, but it would be by famine, and by pestilence, and the sword.

Alma 10:23
But it is by the prayers of the righteous that ye are spared; now therefore, if ye will cast out the righteous from among you then will not the Lord stay his hand; but in his fierce anger he will come out against you; then ye shall be smitten by famine, and by pestilence, and by the sword; and the time is soon at hand except ye repent.

Alma 10:24
And now it came to pass that the people were more angry with Amulek, and they cried out, saying: This man doth revile against our laws which are just, and our wise lawyers whom we have selected.

Alma 10:28
And now it came to pass that when Amulek had spoken these words the people cried out against him, saying: Now we know that this man is a child of the devil, for he hath lied unto us; for he hath spoken against our law. And now he says that he hass=hlblue>as not spoken against it.

Alma 10:29
And again, he hass=hlblue>as reviled against our lawyers, and our judges.

Alma 10:30
And it came to pass that the lawyers put it into their hearts that they should remember these things against him.

Alma 10:31
And there wass=hlblue>as one among them whose name wass=hlblue>as Zeezrom. Now he wass=hlblue>as the foremost to accuse Amulek and Alma, he being one of the most expert among them, having much business to do among the people.

Alma 10:32
Now the object of these lawyers wass=hlblue>as to get gain; and they got gain according to their employ.

Alma 11:1
Now it wass=hlblue>as in the law of Mosiah that every man who wass=hlblue>as a judge of the law, or those who were appointed to be judges, should receive wages according to the time which they labored to judge those who were brought before them to be judged.

Alma 11:2
Now if a man owed another, and he would not pay that which he did owe, he wass=hlblue>as complained of to the judge; and the judge executed authority, and sent forth officers that the man should be brought before him; and he judged the man according to the law and the evidences which were brought against him, and thus the man wass=hlblue>as compelled to pay that which he owed, or be stripped, or be cast out from among the people ass=hlgree>as a thief and a robber.

Alma 11:3
And the judge received for his wages according to his time-- a senine of gold for a day, or a senum of silver, which is equal to a senine of gold; and this is according to the law which wass=hlblue>as given.

Alma 11:4
Now these are the names of the different pieces of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value. And the names are given by the Nephites, for they did not reckon after the manner of the Jews who were at Jerusalem; neither did they measure after the manner of the Jews; but they altered their reckoning and their measure, according to the minds and the circumstances of the people, in every generation, until the reign of the judges, they having been established by king Mosiah.

Alma 11:7
A senum of silver wass=hlblue>as equal to a senine of gold, and either for a measure of barley, and also for a measure of every kind of grain.

Alma 11:8
Now the amount of a seon of gold wass=hlblue>as twice the value of a senine.

Alma 11:9
And a shum of gold wass=hlblue>as twice the value of a seon.

Alma 11:10
And a limnah of gold wass=hlblue>as the value of them all.

Alma 11:11
And an amnor of silver wass=hlblue>as ass=hlgree>as great ass=hlgree>as two senums.

Alma 11:12
And an ezrom of silver wass=hlblue>as ass=hlgree>as great ass=hlgree>as four senums.

Alma 11:13
And an onti wass=hlblue>as ass=hlgree>as great ass=hlgree>as them all.

Alma 11:15
A shiblon is half of a senum; therefore, a shiblon for half a measure of barley.

Alma 11:20
Now, it wass=hlblue>as for the sole purpose to get gain, because they received their wages according to their employ, therefore, they did stir up the people to riotings, and all manner of disturbances and wickedness, that they might have more employ, that they might get money according to the suits which were brought before them; therefore they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.

Alma 11:21
And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ass=hlblue>ask you? Now Zeezrom wass=hlblue>as a man who wass=hlblue>as expert in the devices of the devil, that he might destroy that which wass=hlblue>as good; therefore, he said unto Amulek: Will ye answer the questions which I shall put unto you?

Alma 11:25
And now thou hast lied before God unto me. Thou saidst unto me-- Behold these six onties, which are of great worth, I will give unto thee-- when thou hadst it in thy heart to retain them from me; and it wass=hlblue>as only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God, that thou mightest have cause to destroy me. And now behold, for this great evil thou shalt have thy reward.

Alma 11:35
Now Zeezrom said unto the people: See that ye remember these things; for he said there is but one God; yet he saith that the Son of God shall come, but he shall not save his people-- ass=hlgree>as though he had authority to command God.

Alma 11:36
Now Amulek saith again unto him: Behold thou hast lied, for thou sayest that I spake ass=hlgree>as though I had authority to command God because I said he shall not save his people in their sins.

Alma 11:39
And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last;

Alma 11:41
Therefore the wicked remain ass=hlgree>as though there had been no redemption made, except it be the loosing of the bands of death; for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

Alma 11:43
The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even ass=hlgree>as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even ass=hlgree>as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.

Alma 11:44
Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much ass=hlgree>as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, ass=hlgree>as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.

Alma 11:46
Now, when Amulek had finished these words the people began again to be ass=hlblue>astonished, and also Zeezrom began to tremble. And thus ended the words of Amulek, or this is all that I have written.

Alma 12:2
Now the words that Alma spake unto Zeezrom were heard by the people round about; for the multitude wass=hlblue>as great, and he spake on this wise:

Alma 12:3
Now Zeezrom, seeing that thou hast been taken in thy lying and craftiness, for thou hast not lied unto men only but thou hast lied unto God; for behold, he knows all thy thoughts, and thou seest that thy thoughts are made known unto us by his Spirit;

Alma 12:4
And thou seest that we know that thy plan wass=hlblue>as a very subtle plan, ass=hlgree>as to the subtlety of the devil, for to lie and to deceive this people that thou mightest set them against us, to revile us and to cast us out--

Alma 12:5
Now this wass=hlblue>as a plan of thine adversary, and he hath exercised his power in thee. Now I would that ye should remember that what I say unto thee I say unto all.

Alma 12:6
And behold I say unto you all that this wass=hlblue>as a snare of the adversary, which he hass=hlblue>as laid to catch this people, that he might bring you into subjection unto him, that he might encircle you about with his chains, that he might chain you down to everlasting destruction, according to the power of his captivity.

Alma 12:7
Now when Alma had spoken these words, Zeezrom began to tremble more exceedingly, for he wass=hlblue>as convinced more and more of the power of God; and he wass=hlblue>as also convinced that Alma and Amulek had a knowledge of him, for he wass=hlblue>as convinced that they knew the thoughts and intents of his heart; for power wass=hlblue>as given unto them that they might know of these things according to the spirit of prophecy.

Alma 12:13
Then if our hearts have been hardened, yea, if we have hardened our hearts against the word, insomuch that it hass=hlblue>as not been found in us, then will our state be awful, for then we shall be condemned.

Alma 12:15
But this cannot be; we must come forth and stand before him in his glory, and in his power, and in his might, majesty, and dominion, and acknowledge to our everlasting shame that all his judgments are just; that he is just in all his works, and that he is merciful unto the children of men, and that he hass=hlblue>as all power to save every man that believeth on his name and bringeth forth fruit meet for repentance.

Alma 12:16
And now behold, I say unto you then cometh a death, even a second death, which is a spiritual death; then is a time that whosoever dieth in his sins, ass=hlgree>as to a temporal death, shall also die a spiritual death; yea, he shall die ass=hlgree>as to things pertaining unto righteousness.

Alma 12:17
Then is the time when their torments shall be ass=hlgree>as a lake of fire and brimstone, whose flame ass=hlblue>ascendeth up forever and ever; and then is the time that they shall be chained down to an everlasting destruction, according to the power and captivity of Satan, he having subjected them according to his will.

Alma 12:18
Then, I say unto you, they shall be ass=hlgree>as though there had been no redemption made; for they cannot be redeemed according to God's justice; and they cannot die, seeing there is no more corruption.

Alma 12:19
Now it came to pass that when Alma had made an end of speaking these words, the people began to be more ass=hlblue>astonished;

Alma 12:20
But there wass=hlblue>as one Antionah, who wass=hlblue>as a chief ruler among them, came forth and said unto him: What is this that thou hast said, that man should rise from the dead and be changed from this mortal to an immortal state, that the soul can never die?

Alma 12:21
What does the scripture mean, which saith that God placed cherubim and a flaming sword on the east of the garden of Eden, lest our first parents should enter and partake of the fruit of the tree of life, and live forever? And thus we see that there wass=hlblue>as no possible chance that they should live forever.

Alma 12:22
Now Alma said unto him: This is the thing which I wass=hlblue>as about to explain. Now we see that Adam did fall by the partaking of the forbidden fruit, according to the word of God; and thus we see, that by his fall, all mankind became a lost and fallen people.

Alma 12:24
And we see that death comes upon mankind, yea, the death which hass=hlblue>as been spoken of by Amulek, which is the temporal death; nevertheless there wass=hlblue>as a space granted unto man in which he might repent; therefore this life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which hass=hlblue>as been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead.

Alma 12:25
Now, if it had not been for the plan of redemption, which wass=hlblue>as laid from the foundation of the world, there could have been no resurrection of the dead; but there wass=hlblue>as a plan of redemption laid, which shall bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, of which hass=hlblue>as been spoken.

Alma 12:27
But behold, it wass=hlblue>as not so; but it wass=hlblue>as appointed unto men that they must die; and after death, they must come to judgment, even that same judgment of which we have spoken, which is the end.

Alma 12:28
And after God had appointed that these things should come unto man, behold, then he saw that it wass=hlblue>as expedient that man should know concerning the things whereof he had appointed unto them;

Alma 12:31
Wherefore, he gave commandments unto men, they having first transgressed the first commandments ass=hlgree>as to things which were temporal, and becoming ass=hlgree>as gods, knowing good from evil, placing themselves in a state to act, or being placed in a state to act according to their wills and pleasures, whether to do evil or to do good--

Alma 12:32
Therefore God gave unto them commandments, after having made known unto them the plan of redemption, that they should not do evil, the penalty thereof being a second death, which wass=hlblue>as an everlasting death ass=hlgree>as to things pertaining unto righteousness; for on such the plan of redemption could have no power, for the works of justice could not be destroyed, according to the supreme goodness of God.

Alma 12:33
But God did call on men, in the name of his Son, (this being the plan of redemption which wass=hlblue>as laid) saying: If ye will repent, and harden not your hearts, then will I have mercy upon you, through mine Only Begotten Son;

Alma 12:36
And now, my brethren, behold I say unto you, that if ye will harden your hearts ye shall not enter into the rest of the Lord; therefore your iniquity provoketh him that he sendeth down his wrath upon you ass=hlgree>as in the first provocation, yea, according to his word in the last provocation ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as the first, to the everlasting destruction of your souls; therefore, according to his word, unto the last death, ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as the first.

Alma 12:37
And now, my brethren, seeing we know these things, and they are true, let us repent, and harden not our hearts, that we provoke not the Lord our God to pull down his wrath upon us in these his second commandments which he hass=hlblue>as given unto us; but let us enter into the rest of God, which is prepared according to his word.

Alma 13:1
And again, my brethren, I would cite your minds forward to the time when the Lord God gave these commandments unto his children; and I would that ye should remember that the Lord God ordained priests, after his holy order, which wass=hlblue>as after the order of his Son, to teach these things unto the people.

Alma 13:3
And this is the manner after which they were ordained-- being called and prepared from the foundation of the world according to the foreknowledge of God, on account of their exceeding faith and good works; in the first place being left to choose good or evil; therefore they having chosen good, and exercising exceedingly great faith, are called with a holy calling, yea, with that holy calling which wass=hlblue>as prepared with, and according to, a preparatory redemption for such.

Alma 13:4
And thus they have been called to this holy calling on account of their faith, while others would reject the Spirit of God on account of the hardness of their hearts and blindness of their minds, while, if it had not been for this they might have had ass=hlgree>as great privilege ass=hlgree>as their brethren.

Alma 13:5
Or in fine, in the first place they were on the same standing with their brethren; thus this holy calling being prepared from the foundation of the world for such ass=hlgree>as would not harden their hearts, being in and through the atonement of the Only Begotten Son, who wass=hlblue>as prepared--

Alma 13:7
This high priesthood being after the order of his Son, which order wass=hlblue>as from the foundation of the world; or in other words, being without beginning of days or end of years, being prepared from eternity to all eternity, according to his foreknowledge of all things--

Alma 13:10
Now, ass=hlgree>as I said concerning the holy order, or this high priesthood, there were many who were ordained and became high priests of God; and it wass=hlblue>as on account of their exceeding faith and repentance, and their righteousness before God, they choosing to repent and work righteousness rather than to perish;

Alma 13:11
Therefore they were called after this holy order, and were sanctified, and their garments were washed white through the blood of the Lamb.

Alma 13:14
Yea, humble yourselves even ass=hlgree>as the people in the days of Melchizedek, who wass=hlblue>as also a high priest after this same order which I have spoken, who also took upon him the high priesthood forever.

Alma 13:15
And it wass=hlblue>as this same Melchizedek to whom Abraham paid tithes; yea, even our father Abraham paid tithes of one-tenth part of all he possessed.

Alma 13:17
Now this Melchizedek wass=hlblue>as a king over the land of Salem; and his people had waxed strong in iniquity and abomination; yea, they had all gone ass=hlblue>astray; they were full of all manner of wickedness;

Alma 13:18
But Melchizedek having exercised mighty faith, and received the office of the high priesthood according to the holy order of God, did preach repentance unto his people. And behold, they did repent; and Melchizedek did establish peace in the land in his days; therefore he wass=hlblue>as called the prince of peace, for he wass=hlblue>as the king of Salem; and he did reign under his father.

Alma 13:21
And now it came to pass that when Alma had said these words unto them, he stretched forth his hand unto them and cried with a mighty voice, saying: Now is the time to repent, for the day of salvation draweth nigh;

Alma 13:26
And it shall be made known unto just and holy men, by the mouth of angels, at the time of his coming, that the words of our fathers may be fulfilled, according to that which they have spoken concerning him, which wass=hlblue>as according to the spirit of prophecy which wass=hlblue>as in them.

Alma 13:27
And now, my brethren, I wish from the inmost part of my heart, yea, with great anxiety even unto pain, that ye would hearken unto my words, and cast off your sins, and not procrastinate the day of your repentance;

Alma 13:29
Having faith on the Lord; having a hope that ye shall receive eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts, that ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into his rest.

Alma 14:1
And it came to pass after he had made an end of speaking unto the people many of them did believe on his words, and began to repent, and to search the scriptures.

Alma 14:4
But it came to pass that they did not; but they took them and bound them with strong cords, and took them before the chief judge of the land.

Alma 14:5
And the people went forth and witnessed against them-- testifying that they had reviled against the law, and their lawyers and judges of the land, and also of all the people that were in the land; and also testified that there wass=hlblue>as but one God, and that he should send his Son among the people, but he should not save them; and many such things did the people testify against Alma and Amulek. Now this wass=hlblue>as done before the chief judge of the land.

Alma 14:6
And it came to pass that Zeezrom wass=hlblue>as ass=hlblue>astonished at the words which had been spoken; and he also knew concerning the blindness of the minds, which he had caused among the people by his lying words; and his soul began to be harrowed up under a consciousness of his own guilt; yea, he began to be encircled about by the pains of hell.

Alma 14:7
And it came to pass that he began to cry unto the people, saying: Behold, I am guilty, and these men are spotless before God. And he began to plead for them from that time forth; but they reviled him, saying: Art thou also possessed with the devil? And they spit upon him, and cast him out from among them, and also all those who believed in the words which had been spoken by Alma and Amulek; and they cast them out, and sent men to cast stones at them.

Alma 14:8
And they brought their wives and children together, and whosoever believed or had been taught to believe in the word of God they caused that they should be cast into the fire; and they also brought forth their records which contained the holy scriptures, and cast them into the fire also, that they might be burned and destroyed by fire.

Alma 14:9
And it came to pass that they took Alma and Amulek, and carried them forth to the place of martyrdom, that they might witness the destruction of those who were consumed by fire.

Alma 14:10
And when Amulek saw the pains of the women and children who were consuming in the fire, he also wass=hlblue>as pained; and he said unto Alma: How can we witness this awful scene? Therefore let us stretch forth our hands, and exercise the power of God which is in us, and save them from the flames.

Alma 14:11
But Alma said unto him: The Spirit constraineth me that I must not stretch forth mine hand; for behold the Lord receiveth them up unto himself, in glory; and he doth suffer that they may do this thing, or that the people may do this thing unto them, according to the hardness of their hearts, that the judgments which he shall exercise upon them in his wrath may be just; and the blood of the innocent shall stand ass=hlgree>as a witness against them, yea, and cry mightily against them at the last day.

Alma 14:14
Now it came to pass that when the bodies of those who had been cast into the fire were consumed, and also the records which were cast in with them, the chief judge of the land came and stood before Alma and Amulek, ass=hlgree>as they were bound; and he smote them with his hand upon their cheeks, and said unto them: After what ye have seen, will ye preach again unto this people, that they shall be cast into a lake of fire and brimstone?

Alma 14:15
Behold, ye see that ye had not power to save those who had been cast into the fire; neither hass=hlblue>as God saved them because they were of thy faith. And the judge smote them again upon their cheeks, and ass=hlblue>asked: What say ye for yourselves?

Alma 14:16
Now this judge wass=hlblue>as after the order and faith of Nehor, who slew Gideon.

Alma 14:17
And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek answered him nothing; and he smote them again, and delivered them to the officers to be cast into prison.

Alma 14:18
And when they had been cast into prison three days, there came many lawyers, and judges, and priests, and teachers, who were of the profession of Nehor; and they came in unto the prison to see them, and they questioned them about many words; but they answered them nothing.

Alma 14:19
And it came to pass that the judge stood before them, and said: Why do ye not answer the words of this people? Know ye not that I have power to deliver you up unto the flames? And he commanded them to speak; but they answered nothing.

Alma 14:20
And it came to pass that they departed and went their ways, but came again on the morrow; and the judge also smote them again on their cheeks. And many came forth also, and smote them, saying: Will ye stand again and judge this people, and condemn our law? If ye have such great power why do ye not deliver yourselves?

Alma 14:21
And many such things did they say unto them, gnashing their teeth upon them, and spitting upon them, and saying: How shall we look when we are damned?

Alma 14:23
And it came to pass after they had thus suffered for many days, (and it wass=hlblue>as on the twelfth day, in the tenth month, in the tenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi) that the chief judge over the land of Ammonihah and many of their teachers and their lawyers went in unto the prison where Alma and Amulek were bound with cords.

Alma 14:25
And it came to pass that they all went forth and smote them, saying the same words, even until the last; and when the last had spoken unto them the power of God wass=hlblue>as upon Alma and Amulek, and they rose and stood upon their feet.

Alma 14:27
And it came to pass that so great wass=hlblue>as their fear that they fell to the earth, and did not obtain the outer door of the prison; and the earth shook mightily, and the walls of the prison were rent in twain, so that they fell to the earth; and the chief judge, and the lawyers, and priests, and teachers, who smote upon Alma and Amulek, were slain by the fall thereof.

Alma 14:28
And Alma and Amulek came forth out of the prison, and they were not hurt; for the Lord had granted unto them power, according to their faith which wass=hlblue>as in Christ. And they straightway came forth out of the prison; and they were loosed from their bands; and the prison had fallen to the earth, and every soul within the walls thereof, save it were Alma and Amulek, wass=hlblue>as slain; and they straightway came forth into the city.

Alma 14:29
Now the people having heard a great noise came running together by multitudes to know the cause of it; and when they saw Alma and Amulek coming forth out of the prison, and the walls thereof had fallen to the earth, they were struck with great fear, and fled from the presence of Alma and Amulek even ass=hlgree>as a goat fleeth with her young from two lions; and thus they did flee from the presence of Alma and Amulek.

Alma 15:1
And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek were commanded to depart out of that city; and they departed, and came out even into the land of Sidom; and behold, there they found all the people who had departed out of the land of Ammonihah, who had been cast out and stoned, because they believed in the words of Alma.

Alma 15:3
And also Zeezrom lay sick at Sidom, with a burning fever, which wass=hlblue>as caused by the great tribulations of his mind on account of his wickedness, for he supposed that Alma and Amulek were no more; and he supposed that they had been slain because of his iniquity. And this great sin, and his many other sins, did harrow up his mind until it did become exceedingly sore, having no deliverance; therefore he began to be scorched with a burning heat.

Alma 15:5
And it came to pass that they went immediately, obeying the message which he had sent unto them; and they went in unto the house unto Zeezrom; and they found him upon his bed, sick, being very low with a burning fever; and his mind also wass=hlblue>as exceedingly sore because of his iniquities; and when he saw them he stretched forth his hand, and besought them that they would heal him.

Alma 15:6
And it came to pass that Alma said unto him, taking him by the hand: Believest thou in the power of Christ unto salvation?

Alma 15:7
And he answered and said: Yea, I believe all the words that thou hast taught.

Alma 15:11
And when Alma had said these words, Zeezrom leaped upon his feet, and began to walk; and this wass=hlblue>as done to the great ass=hlblue>astonishment of all the people; and the knowledge of this went forth throughout all the land of Sidom.

Alma 15:14
And it came to pass that they were many; for they did flock in from all the region round about Sidom, and were baptized.

Alma 15:15
But ass=hlgree>as to the people that were in the land of Ammonihah, they yet remained a hard-hearted and a stiffnecked people; and they repented not of their sins, ass=hlblue>ascribing all the power of Alma and Amulek to the devil; for they were of the profession of Nehor, and did not believe in the repentance of their sins.

Alma 15:16
And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek, Amulek having forsaken all his gold, and silver, and his precious things, which were in the land of Ammonihah, for the word of God, he being rejected by those who were once his friends and also by his father and his kindred;

Alma 15:17
Therefore, after Alma having established the church at Sidom, seeing a great check, yea, seeing that the people were checked ass=hlgree>as to the pride of their hearts, and began to humble themselves before God, and began to ass=hlblue>assemble themselves together at their sanctuaries to worship God before the altar, watching and praying continually, that they might be delivered from Satan, and from death, and from destruction--

Alma 15:18
Now ass=hlgree>as I said, Alma having seen all these things, therefore he took Amulek and came over to the land of Zarahemla, and took him to his own house, and did administer unto him in his tribulations, and strengthened him in the Lord.

Alma 16:1
And it came to pass in the eleventh year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, on the fifth day of the second month, there having been much peace in the land of Zarahemla, there having been no wars nor contentions for a certain number of years, even until the fifth day of the second month in the eleventh year, there wass=hlblue>as a cry of war heard throughout the land.

Alma 16:3
And now it came to pass, before the Nephites could raise a sufficient army to drive them out of the land, they had destroyed the people who were in the city of Ammonihah, and also some around the borders of Noah, and taken others captive into the wilderness.

Alma 16:4
Now it came to pass that the Nephites were desirous to obtain those who had been carried away captive into the wilderness.

Alma 16:5
Therefore, he that had been appointed chief captain over the armies of the Nephites, (and his name wass=hlblue>as Zoram, and he had two sons, Lehi and Aha)-- now Zoram and his two sons, knowing that Alma wass=hlblue>as high priest over the church, and having heard that he had the spirit of prophecy, therefore they went unto him and desired of him to know whither the Lord would that they should go into the wilderness in search of their brethren, who had been taken captive by the Lamanites.

Alma 16:6
And it came to pass that Alma inquired of the Lord concerning the matter. And Alma returned and said unto them: Behold, the Lamanites will cross the river Sidon in the south wilderness, away up beyond the borders of the land of Manti. And behold there shall ye meet them, on the east of the river Sidon, and there the Lord will deliver unto thee thy brethren who have been taken captive by the Lamanites.

Alma 16:7
And it came to pass that Zoram and his sons crossed over the river Sidon, with their armies, and marched away beyond the borders of Manti into the south wilderness, which wass=hlblue>as on the east side of the river Sidon.

Alma 16:8
And they came upon the armies of the Lamanites, and the Lamanites were scattered and driven into the wilderness; and they took their brethren who had been taken captive by the Lamanites, and there wass=hlblue>as not one soul of them had been lost that were taken captive. And they were brought by their brethren to possess their own lands.

Alma 16:9
And thus ended the eleventh year of the judges, the Lamanites having been driven out of the land, and the people of Ammonihah were destroyed; yea, every living soul of the Ammonihahites wass=hlblue>as destroyed, and also their great city, which they said God could not destroy, because of its greatness.

Alma 16:10
But behold, in one day it wass=hlblue>as left desolate; and the carcasses were mangled by dogs and wild beasts of the wilderness.

Alma 16:11
Nevertheless, after many days their dead bodies were heaped up upon the face of the earth, and they were covered with a shallow covering. And now so great wass=hlblue>as the scent thereof that the people did not go in to possess the land of Ammonihah for many years. And it wass=hlblue>as called Desolation of Nehors; for they were of the profession of Nehor, who were slain; and their lands remained desolate.

Alma 16:14
And ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as would hear their words, unto them they did impart the word of God, without any respect of persons, continually.

Alma 16:16
And there wass=hlblue>as no inequality among them; the Lord did pour out his Spirit on all the face of the land to prepare the minds of the children of men, or to prepare their hearts to receive the word which should be taught among them at the time of his coming--

Alma 16:17
That they might not be hardened against the word, that they might not be unbelieving, and go on to destruction, but that they might receive the word with joy, and ass=hlgree>as a branch be grafted into the true vine, that they might enter into the rest of the Lord their God.

Alma 16:18
Now those priests who did go forth among the people did preach against all lyings, and deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and malice, and revilings, and stealing, robbing, plundering, murdering, committing adultery, and all manner of lasciviousness, crying that these things ought not so to be--

Alma 17:1
And now it came to pass that ass=hlgree>as Alma wass=hlblue>as journeying from the land of Gideon southward, away to the land of Manti, behold, to his ass=hlblue>astonishment, he met with the sons of Mosiah journeying towards the land of Zarahemla.

Alma 17:3
But this is not all; they had given themselves to much prayer, and fasting; therefore they had the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation, and when they taught, they taught with power and authority of God.

Alma 17:5
Now these are the circumstances which attended them in their journeyings, for they had many afflictions; they did suffer much, both in body and in mind, such ass=hlgree>as hunger, thirst and fatigue, and also much labor in the spirit.

Alma 17:6
Now these were their journeyings: Having taken leave of their father, Mosiah, in the first year of the judges; having refused the kingdom which their father wass=hlblue>as desirous to confer upon them, and also this wass=hlblue>as the minds of the people;

Alma 17:9
And it came to pass that they journeyed many days in the wilderness, and they fasted much and prayed much that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit to go with them, and abide with them, that they might be an instrument in the hands of God to bring, if it were possible, their brethren, the Lamanites, to the knowledge of the truth, to the knowledge of the baseness of the traditions of their fathers, which were not correct.

Alma 17:10
And it came to pass that the Lord did visit them with his Spirit, and said unto them: Be comforted. And they were comforted.

Alma 17:12
And it came to pass that the hearts of the sons of Mosiah, and also those who were with them, took courage to go forth unto the Lamanites to declare unto them the word of God.

Alma 17:13
And it came to pass when they had arrived in the borders of the land of the Lamanites, that they separated themselves and departed one from another, trusting in the Lord that they should meet again at the close of their harvest; for they supposed that great wass=hlblue>as the work which they had undertaken.

Alma 17:14
And ass=hlblue>assuredly it wass=hlblue>as great, for they had undertaken to preach the word of God to a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people; a people who delighted in murdering the Nephites, and robbing and plundering them; and their hearts were set upon riches, or upon gold and silver, and precious stones; yet they sought to obtain these things by murdering and plundering, that they might not labor for them with their own hands.

Alma 17:16
Therefore, this wass=hlblue>as the cause for which the sons of Mosiah had undertaken the work, that perhaps they might bring them unto repentance; that perhaps they might bring them to know of the plan of redemption.

Alma 17:17
Therefore they separated themselves one from another, and went forth among them, every man alone, according to the word and power of God which wass=hlblue>as given unto him.

Alma 17:20
And ass=hlgree>as Ammon entered the land of Ishmael, the Lamanites took him and bound him, ass=hlgree>as wass=hlblue>as their custom to bind all the Nephites who fell into their hands, and carry them before the king; and thus it wass=hlblue>as left to the pleasure of the king to slay them, or to retain them in captivity, or to cast them into prison, or to cast them out of his land, according to his will and pleasure.

Alma 17:21
And thus Ammon wass=hlblue>as carried before the king who wass=hlblue>as over the land of Ishmael; and his name wass=hlblue>as Lamoni; and he wass=hlblue>as a descendant of Ishmael.

Alma 17:24
And it came to pass that king Lamoni wass=hlblue>as much pleased with Ammon, and caused that his bands should be loosed; and he would that Ammon should take one of his daughters to wife.

Alma 17:25
But Ammon said unto him: Nay, but I will be thy servant. Therefore Ammon became a servant to king Lamoni. And it came to pass that he wass=hlblue>as set among other servants to watch the flocks of Lamoni, according to the custom of the Lamanites.

Alma 17:26
And after he had been in the service of the king three days, ass=hlgree>as he wass=hlblue>as with the Lamanitish servants going forth with their flocks to the place of water, which wass=hlblue>as called the water of Sebus, and all the Lamanites drive their flocks hither, that they may have water--

Alma 17:27
Therefore, ass=hlgree>as Ammon and the servants of the king were driving forth their flocks to this place of water, behold, a certain number of the Lamanites, who had been with their flocks to water, stood and scattered the flocks of Ammon and the servants of the king, and they scattered them insomuch that they fled many ways.

Alma 17:28
Now the servants of the king began to murmur, saying: Now the king will slay us, ass=hlgree>as he hass=hlblue>as our brethren because their flocks were scattered by the wickedness of these men. And they began to weep exceedingly, saying: Behold, our flocks are scattered already.

Alma 17:29
Now they wept because of the fear of being slain. Now when Ammon saw this his heart wass=hlblue>as swollen within him with joy; for, said he, I will show forth my power unto these my fellow-servants, or the power which is in me, in restoring these flocks unto the king, that I may win the hearts of these my fellow-servants, that I may lead them to believe in my words.

Alma 17:31
And it came to pass that he flattered them by his words, saying: My brethren, be of good cheer and let us go in search of the flocks, and we will gather them together and bring them back unto the place of water; and thus we will preserve the flocks unto the king and he will not slay us.

Alma 17:32
And it came to pass that they went in search of the flocks, and they did follow Ammon, and they rushed forth with much swiftness and did head the flocks of the king, and did gather them together again to the place of water.

Alma 17:34
Therefore, they did ass=hlgree>as Ammon commanded them, and he went forth and stood to contend with those who stood by the waters of Sebus; and they were in number not a few.

Alma 17:35
Therefore they did not fear Ammon, for they supposed that one of their men could slay him according to their pleasure, for they knew not that the Lord had promised Mosiah that he would deliver his sons out of their hands; neither did they know anything concerning the Lord; therefore they delighted in the destruction of their brethren; and for this cause they stood to scatter the flocks of the king.

Alma 17:36
But Ammon stood forth and began to cast stones at them with his sling; yea, with mighty power he did sling stones amongst them; and thus he slew a certain number of them insomuch that they began to be ass=hlblue>astonished at his power; nevertheless they were angry because of the slain of their brethren, and they were determined that he should fall; therefore, seeing that they could not hit him with their stones, they came forth with clubs to slay him.

Alma 17:37
But behold, every man that lifted his club to smite Ammon, he smote off their arms with his sword; for he did withstand their blows by smiting their arms with the edge of his sword, insomuch that they began to be ass=hlblue>astonished, and began to flee before him; yea, and they were not few in number; and he caused them to flee by the strength of his arm.

Alma 17:38
Now six of them had fallen by the sling, but he slew none save it were their leader with his sword; and he smote off ass=hlgree>as many of their arms ass=hlgree>as were lifted against him, and they were not a few.

Alma 17:39
And when he had driven them afar off, he returned and they watered their flocks and returned them to the pasture of the king, and then went in unto the king, bearing the arms which had been smitten off by the sword of Ammon, of those who sought to slay him; and they were carried in unto the king for a testimony of the things which they had done.

Alma 18:1
And it came to pass that king Lamoni caused that his servants should stand forth and testify to all the things which they had seen concerning the matter.

Alma 18:2
And when they had all testified to the things which they had seen, and he had learned of the faithfulness of Ammon in preserving his flocks, and also of his great power in contending against those who sought to slay him, he wass=hlblue>as ass=hlblue>astonished exceedingly, and said: Surely, this is more than a man. Behold, is not this the Great Spirit who doth send such great punishments upon this people, because of their murders?

Alma 18:3
And they answered the king, and said: Whether he be the Great Spirit or a man, we know not; but this much we do know, that he cannot be slain by the enemies of the king; neither can they scatter the king's flocks when he is with us, because of his expertness and great strength; therefore, we know that he is a friend to the king. And now, O king, we do not believe that a man hass=hlblue>as such great power, for we know he cannot be slain.

Alma 18:4
And now, when the king heard these words, he said unto them: Now I know that it is the Great Spirit; and he hass=hlblue>as come down at this time to preserve your lives, that I might not slay you ass=hlgree>as I did your brethren. Now this is the Great Spirit of whom our fathers have spoken.

Alma 18:5
Now this wass=hlblue>as the tradition of Lamoni, which he had received from his father, that there wass=hlblue>as a Great Spirit. Notwithstanding they believed in a Great Spirit, they supposed that whatsoever they did wass=hlblue>as right; nevertheless, Lamoni began to fear exceedingly, with fear lest he had done wrong in slaying his servants;

Alma 18:7
Now it wass=hlblue>as the practice of these Lamanites to stand by the waters of Sebus to scatter the flocks of the people, that thereby they might drive away many that were scattered unto their own land, it being a practice of plunder among them.

Alma 18:8
And it came to pass that king Lamoni inquired of his servants, saying: Where is this man that hass=hlblue>as such great power?

Alma 18:9
And they said unto him: Behold, he is feeding thy horses. Now the king had commanded his servants, previous to the time of the watering of their flocks, that they should prepare his horses and chariots, and conduct him forth to the land of Nephi; for there had been a great feast appointed at the land of Nephi, by the father of Lamoni, who wass=hlblue>as king over all the land.

Alma 18:10
Now when king Lamoni heard that Ammon wass=hlblue>as preparing his horses and his chariots he wass=hlblue>as more ass=hlblue>astonished, because of the faithfulness of Ammon, saying: Surely there hass=hlblue>as not been any servant among all my servants that hass=hlblue>as been so faithful ass=hlgree>as this man; for even he doth remember all my commandments to execute them.

Alma 18:12
And it came to pass that when Ammon had made ready the horses and the chariots for the king and his servants, he went in unto the king, and he saw that the countenance of the king wass=hlblue>as changed; therefore he wass=hlblue>as about to return out of his presence.

Alma 18:15
And it came to pass that Ammon said unto him again: What desirest thou of me? But the king answered him not.

Alma 18:16
And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with the Spirit of God, therefore he perceived the thoughts of the king. And he said unto him: Is it because thou hast heard that I defended thy servants and thy flocks, and slew seven of their brethren with the sling and with the sword, and smote off the arms of others, in order to defend thy flocks and thy servants; behold, is it this that causeth thy marvelings?

Alma 18:23
And the king answered him, and said: Yea, I will believe all thy words. And thus he wass=hlblue>as caught with guile.

Alma 18:33
And king Lamoni said: I believe all these things which thou hast spoken. Art thou sent from God?

Alma 18:34
Ammon said unto him: I am a man; and man in the beginning wass=hlblue>as created after the image of God, and I am called by his Holy Spirit to teach these things unto this people, that they may be brought to a knowledge of that which is just and true;

Alma 18:37
And he also rehearsed unto them (for it wass=hlblue>as unto the king and to his servants) all the journeyings of their fathers in the wilderness, and all their sufferings with hunger and thirst, and their travail, and so forth.

Alma 18:39
But this is not all; for he expounded unto them the plan of redemption, which wass=hlblue>as prepared from the foundation of the world; and he also made known unto them concerning the coming of Christ, and all the works of the Lord did he make known unto them.

Alma 18:40
And it came to pass that after he had said all these things, and expounded them to the king, that the king believed all his words.

Alma 18:41
And he began to cry unto the Lord, saying: O Lord, have mercy; according to thy abundant mercy which thou hast had upon the people of Nephi, have upon me, and my people.

Alma 18:42
And now, when he had said this, he fell unto the earth, ass=hlgree>as if he were dead.

Alma 18:43
And it came to pass that his servants took him and carried him in unto his wife, and laid him upon a bed; and he lay ass=hlgree>as if he were dead for the space of two days and two nights; and his wife, and his sons, and his daughters mourned over him, after the manner of the Lamanites, greatly lamenting his loss.

Alma 19:1
And it came to pass that after two days and two nights they were about to take his body and lay it in a sepulchre, which they had made for the purpose of burying their dead.

Alma 19:3
And it came to pass that Ammon did ass=hlgree>as he wass=hlblue>as commanded, and went in unto the queen, and desired to know what she would that he should do.

Alma 19:4
And she said unto him: The servants of my husband have made it known unto me that thou art a prophet of a holy God, and that thou hast power to do many mighty works in his name;

Alma 19:5
Therefore, if this is the case, I would that ye should go in and see my husband, for he hass=hlblue>as been laid upon his bed for the space of two days and two nights; and some say that he is not dead, but others say that he is dead and that he stinketh, and that he ought to be placed in the sepulchre; but ass=hlgree>as for myself, to me he doth not stink.

Alma 19:6
Now, this wass=hlblue>as what Ammon desired, for he knew that king Lamoni wass=hlblue>as under the power of God; he knew that the dark veil of unbelief wass=hlblue>as being cast away from his mind, and the light which did light up his mind, which wass=hlblue>as the light of the glory of God, which wass=hlblue>as a marvelous light of his goodness-- yea, this light had infused such joy into his soul, the cloud of darkness having been dispelled, and that the light of everlasting life wass=hlblue>as lit up in his soul, yea, he knew that this had overcome his natural frame, and he wass=hlblue>as carried away in God--

Alma 19:7
Therefore, what the queen desired of him wass=hlblue>as his only desire. Therefore, he went in to see the king according ass=hlgree>as the queen had desired him; and he saw the king, and he knew that he wass=hlblue>as not dead.

Alma 19:9
And Ammon said unto her: Believest thou this? And she said unto him: I have had no witness save thy word, and the word of our servants; nevertheless I believe that it shall be according ass=hlgree>as thou hast said.

Alma 19:10
And Ammon said unto her: Blessed art thou because of thy exceeding faith; I say unto thee, woman, there hass=hlblue>as not been such great faith among all the people of the Nephites.

Alma 19:11
And it came to pass that she watched over the bed of her husband, from that time even until that time on the morrow which Ammon had appointed that he should rise.

Alma 19:12
And it came to pass that he arose, according to the words of Ammon; and ass=hlgree>as he arose, he stretched forth his hand unto the woman, and said: Blessed be the name of God, and blessed art thou.

Alma 19:13
For ass=hlgree>as sure ass=hlgree>as thou livest, behold, I have seen my Redeemer; and he shall come forth, and be born of a woman, and he shall redeem all mankind who believe on his name. Now, when he had said these words, his heart wass=hlblue>as swollen within him, and he sunk again with joy; and the queen also sunk down, being overpowered by the Spirit.

Alma 19:14
Now Ammon seeing the Spirit of the Lord poured out according to his prayers upon the Lamanites, his brethren, who had been the cause of so much mourning among the Nephites, or among all the people of God because of their iniquities and their traditions, he fell upon his knees, and began to pour out his soul in prayer and thanksgiving to God for what he had done for his brethren; and he wass=hlblue>as also overpowered with joy; and thus they all three had sunk to the earth.

Alma 19:15
Now, when the servants of the king had seen that they had fallen, they also began to cry unto God, for the fear of the Lord had come upon them also, for it wass=hlblue>as they who had stood before the king and testified unto him concerning the great power of Ammon.

Alma 19:16
And it came to pass that they did call on the name of the Lord, in their might, even until they had all fallen to the earth, save it were one of the Lamanitish women, whose name wass=hlblue>as Abish, she having been converted unto the Lord for many years, on account of a remarkable vision of her father--

Alma 19:17
Thus, having been converted to the Lord, and never having made it known, therefore, when she saw that all the servants of Lamoni had fallen to the earth, and also her mistress, the queen, and the king, and Ammon lay prostrate upon the earth, she knew that it wass=hlblue>as the power of God; and supposing that this opportunity, by making known unto the people what had happened among them, that by beholding this scene it would cause them to believe in the power of God, therefore she ran forth from house to house, making it known unto the people.

Alma 19:18
And they began to ass=hlblue>assemble themselves together unto the house of the king. And there came a multitude, and to their ass=hlblue>astonishment, they beheld the king, and the queen, and their servants prostrate upon the earth, and they all lay there ass=hlgree>as though they were dead; and they also saw Ammon, and behold, he wass=hlblue>as a Nephite.

Alma 19:19
And now the people began to murmur among themselves; some saying that it wass=hlblue>as a great evil that had come upon them, or upon the king and his house, because he had suffered that the Nephite should remain in the land.

Alma 19:22
Now, one of them, whose brother had been slain with the sword of Ammon, being exceedingly angry with Ammon, drew his sword and went forth that he might let it fall upon Ammon, to slay him; and ass=hlgree>as he lifted the sword to smite him, behold, he fell dead.

Alma 19:24
And it came to pass that when the multitude beheld that the man had fallen dead, who lifted the sword to slay Ammon, fear came upon them all, and they durst not put forth their hands to touch him or any of those who had fallen; and they began to marvel again among themselves what could be the cause of this great power, or what all these things could mean.

Alma 19:25
And it came to pass that there were many among them who said that Ammon wass=hlblue>as the Great Spirit, and others said he wass=hlblue>as sent by the Great Spirit;

Alma 19:26
But others rebuked them all, saying that he wass=hlblue>as a monster, who had been sent from the Nephites to torment them.

Alma 19:27
And there were some who said that Ammon wass=hlblue>as sent by the Great Spirit to afflict them because of their iniquities; and that it wass=hlblue>as the Great Spirit that had always attended the Nephites, who had ever delivered them out of their hands; and they said that it wass=hlblue>as this Great Spirit who had destroyed so many of their brethren, the Lamanites.

Alma 19:28
And thus the contention began to be exceedingly sharp among them. And while they were thus contending, the woman servant who had caused the multitude to be gathered together came, and when she saw the contention which wass=hlblue>as among the multitude she wass=hlblue>as exceedingly sorrowful, even unto tears.

Alma 19:29
And it came to pass that she went and took the queen by the hand, that perhaps she might raise her from the ground; and ass=hlgree>as soon ass=hlgree>as she touched her hand she arose and stood upon her feet, and cried with a loud voice, saying: O blessed Jesus, who hass=hlblue>as saved me from an awful hell! O blessed God, have mercy on this people!

Alma 19:30
And when she had said this, she clasped her hands, being filled with joy, speaking many words which were not understood; and when she had done this, she took the king, Lamoni, by the hand, and behold he arose and stood upon his feet.

Alma 19:31
And he, immediately, seeing the contention among his people, went forth and began to rebuke them, and to teach them the words which he had heard from the mouth of Ammon; and ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as heard his words believed, and were converted unto the Lord.

Alma 19:33
And it came to pass that when Ammon arose he also administered unto them, and also did all the servants of Lamoni; and they did all declare unto the people the selfsame thing-- that their hearts had been changed; that they had no more desire to do evil.

Alma 19:35
And it came to pass that there were many that did believe in their words; and ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as did believe were baptized; and they became a righteous people, and they did establish a church among them.

Alma 20:1
And it came to pass that when they had established a church in that land, that king Lamoni desired that Ammon should go with him to the land of Nephi, that he might show him unto his father.

Alma 20:3
Now it came to pass that when Ammon had heard this, he said unto Lamoni: Behold, my brother and brethren are in prison at Middoni, and I go that I may deliver them.

Alma 20:4
Now Lamoni said unto Ammon: I know, in the strength of the Lord thou canst do all things. But behold, I will go with thee to the land of Middoni; for the king of the land of Middoni, whose name is Antiomno, is a friend unto me; therefore I go to the land of Middoni, that I may flatter the king of the land, and he will cast thy brethren out of prison. Now Lamoni said unto him: Who told thee that thy brethren were in prison?

Alma 20:7
And he said unto Ammon: Come, I will go with thee down to the land of Middoni, and there I will plead with the king that he will cast thy brethren out of prison.

Alma 20:8
And it came to pass that ass=hlgree>as Ammon and Lamoni were journeying thither, they met the father of Lamoni, who wass=hlblue>as king over all the land.

Alma 20:9
And behold, the father of Lamoni said unto him: Why did ye not come to the feast on that great day when I made a feast unto my sons, and unto my people?

Alma 20:11
And it came to pass that Lamoni rehearsed unto him whither he wass=hlblue>as going, for he feared to offend him.

Alma 20:12
And he also told him all the cause of his tarrying in his own kingdom, that he did not go unto his father to the feast which he had prepared.

Alma 20:13
And now when Lamoni had rehearsed unto him all these things, behold, to his ass=hlblue>astonishment, his father wass=hlblue>as angry with him, and said: Lamoni, thou art going to deliver these Nephites, who are sons of a liar. Behold, he robbed our fathers; and now his children are also come amongst us that they may, by their cunning and their lyings, deceive us, that they again may rob us of our property.

Alma 20:15
But Lamoni said unto him: I will not slay Ammon, neither will I return to the land of Ishmael, but I go to the land of Middoni that I may release the brethren of Ammon, for I know that they are just men and holy prophets of the true God.

Alma 20:16
Now when his father had heard these words, he wass=hlblue>as angry with him, and he drew his sword that he might smite him to the earth.

Alma 20:17
But Ammon stood forth and said unto him: Behold, thou shalt not slay thy son; nevertheless, it were better that he should fall than thee, for behold, he hass=hlblue>as repented of his sins; but if thou shouldst fall at this time, in thine anger, thy soul could not be saved.

Alma 20:19
Now when Ammon had said these words unto him, he answered him, saying: I know that if I should slay my son, that I should shed innocent blood; for it is thou that hast sought to destroy him.

Alma 20:22
But Ammon raised his sword, and said unto him: Behold, I will smite thee except thou wilt grant unto me that my brethren may be cast out of prison.

Alma 20:23
Now the king, fearing he should lose his life, said: If thou wilt spare me I will grant unto thee whatsoever thou wilt ass=hlblue>ask, even to half of the kingdom.

Alma 20:24
Now when Ammon saw that he had wrought upon the old king according to his desire, he said unto him: If thou wilt grant that my brethren may be cast out of prison, and also that Lamoni may retain his kingdom, and that ye be not displeased with him, but grant that he may do according to his own desires in whatsoever thing he thinketh, then will I spare thee; otherwise I will smite thee to the earth.

Alma 20:26
And when he saw that Ammon had no desire to destroy him, and when he also saw the great love he had for his son Lamoni, he wass=hlblue>as ass=hlblue>astonished exceedingly, and said: Because this is all that thou hast desired, that I would release thy brethren, and suffer that my son Lamoni should retain his kingdom, behold, I will grant unto you that my son may retain his kingdom from this time and forever; and I will govern him no more--

Alma 20:27
And I will also grant unto thee that thy brethren may be cast out of prison, and thou and thy brethren may come unto me, in my kingdom; for I shall greatly desire to see thee. For the king wass=hlblue>as greatly ass=hlblue>astonished at the words which he had spoken, and also at the words which had been spoken by his son Lamoni, therefore he wass=hlblue>as desirous to learn them.

Alma 20:28
And it came to pass that Ammon and Lamoni proceeded on their journey towards the land of Middoni. And Lamoni found favor in the eyes of the king of the land; therefore the brethren of Ammon were brought forth out of prison.

Alma 20:29
And when Ammon did meet them he wass=hlblue>as exceedingly sorrowful, for behold they were naked, and their skins were worn exceedingly because of being bound with strong cords. And they also had suffered hunger, thirst, and all kinds of afflictions; nevertheless they were patient in all their sufferings.

Alma 20:30
And, ass=hlgree>as it happened, it wass=hlblue>as their lot to have fallen into the hands of a more hardened and a more stiffnecked people; therefore they would not hearken unto their words, and they had cast them out, and had smitten them, and had driven them from house to house, and from place to place, even until they had arrived in the land of Middoni; and there they were taken and cast into prison, and bound with strong cords, and kept in prison for many days, and were delivered by Lamoni and Ammon.

Alma 21:1
Now when Ammon and his brethren separated themselves in the borders of the land of the Lamanites, behold Aaron took his journey towards the land which wass=hlblue>as called by the Lamanites, Jerusalem, calling it after the land of their fathers' nativity; and it wass=hlblue>as away joining the borders of Mormon.

Alma 21:2
Now the Lamanites and the Amalekites and the people of Amulon had built a great city, which wass=hlblue>as called Jerusalem.

Alma 21:4
And it came to pass that Aaron came to the city of Jerusalem, and first began to preach to the Amalekites. And he began to preach to them in their synagogues, for they had built synagogues after the order of the Nehors; for many of the Amalekites and the Amulonites were after the order of the Nehors.

Alma 21:5
Therefore, ass=hlgree>as Aaron entered into one of their synagogues to preach unto the people, and ass=hlgree>as he wass=hlblue>as speaking unto them, behold there arose an Amalekite and began to contend with him, saying: What is that thou hast testified? Hast thou seen an angel? Why do not angels appear unto us? Behold are not this people ass=hlgree>as good ass=hlgree>as thy people?

Alma 21:6
Thou also sayest, except we repent we shall perish. How knowest thou the thought and intent of our hearts? How knowest thou that we have cause to repent? How knowest thou that we are not a righteous people? Behold, we have built sanctuaries, and we do ass=hlblue>assemble ourselves together to worship God. We do believe that God will save all men.

Alma 21:10
And it came to pass ass=hlgree>as he began to expound these things unto them they were angry with him, and began to mock him; and they would not hear the words which he spake.

Alma 21:11
Therefore, when he saw that they would not hear his words, he departed out of their synagogue, and came over to a village which wass=hlblue>as called Ani-Anti, and there he found Muloki preaching the word unto them; and also Ammah and his brethren. And they contended with many about the word.

Alma 21:12
And it came to pass that they saw that the people would harden their hearts, therefore they departed and came over into the land of Middoni. And they did preach the word unto many, and few believed on the words which they taught.

Alma 21:13
Nevertheless, Aaron and a certain number of his brethren were taken and cast into prison, and the remainder of them fled out of the land of Middoni unto the regions round about.

Alma 21:14
And those who were cast into prison suffered many things, and they were delivered by the hand of Lamoni and Ammon, and they were fed and clothed.

Alma 21:16
And they went forth whithersoever they were led by the Spirit of the Lord, preaching the word of God in every synagogue of the Amalekites, or in every ass=hlblue>assembly of the Lamanites where they could be admitted.

Alma 21:17
And it came to pass that the Lord began to bless them, insomuch that they brought many to the knowledge of the truth; yea, they did convince many of their sins, and of the traditions of their fathers, which were not correct.

Alma 21:18
And it came to pass that Ammon and Lamoni returned from the land of Middoni to the land of Ishmael, which wass=hlblue>as the land of their inheritance.

Alma 21:20
But he caused that there should be synagogues built in the land of Ishmael; and he caused that his people, or the people who were under his reign, should ass=hlblue>assemble themselves together.

Alma 21:22
And he also declared unto them that they might have the liberty of worshiping the Lord their God according to their desires, in whatsoever place they were in, if it were in the land which wass=hlblue>as under the reign of king Lamoni.

Alma 21:23
And Ammon did preach unto the people of king Lamoni; and it came to pass that he did teach them all things concerning things pertaining to righteousness. And he did exhort them daily, with all diligence; and they gave heed unto his word, and they were zealous for keeping the commandments of God.

Alma 22:1
Now, ass=hlgree>as Ammon wass=hlblue>as thus teaching the people of Lamoni continually, we will return to the account of Aaron and his brethren; for after he departed from the land of Middoni he wass=hlblue>as led by the Spirit to the land of Nephi, even to the house of the king which wass=hlblue>as over all the land save it were the land of Ishmael; and he wass=hlblue>as the father of Lamoni.

Alma 22:2
And it came to pass that he went in unto him into the king's palace, with his brethren, and bowed himself before the king, and said unto him: Behold, O king, we are the brethren of Ammon, whom thou hast delivered out of prison.

Alma 22:3
And now, O king, if thou wilt spare our lives, we will be thy servants. And the king said unto them: Arise, for I will grant unto you your lives, and I will not suffer that ye shall be my servants; but I will insist that ye shall administer unto me; for I have been somewhat troubled in mind because of the generosity and the greatness of the words of thy brother Ammon; and I desire to know the cause why he hass=hlblue>as not come up out of Middoni with thee.

Alma 22:4
And Aaron said unto the king: Behold, the Spirit of the Lord hass=hlblue>as called him another way; he hass=hlblue>as gone to the land of Ishmael, to teach the people of Lamoni.

Alma 22:6
And also, what is this that Ammon said-- If ye will repent ye shall be saved, and if ye will not repent, ye shall be cast off at the last day?

Alma 22:7
And Aaron answered him and said unto him: Believest thou that there is a God? And the king said: I know that the Amalekites say that there is a God, and I have granted unto them that they should build sanctuaries, that they may ass=hlblue>assemble themselves together to worship him. And if now thou sayest there is a God, behold I will believe.

Alma 22:8
And now when Aaron heard this, his heart began to rejoice, and he said: Behold, ass=hlblue>assuredly ass=hlgree>as thou livest, O king, there is a God.

Alma 22:12
And it came to pass that when Aaron saw that the king would believe his words, he began from the creation of Adam, reading the scriptures unto the king-- how God created man after his own image, and that God gave him commandments, and that because of transgression, man had fallen.

Alma 22:13
And Aaron did expound unto him the scriptures from the creation of Adam, laying the fall of man before him, and their carnal state and also the plan of redemption, which wass=hlblue>as prepared from the foundation of the world, through Christ, for all whosoever would believe on his name.

Alma 22:15
And it came to pass that after Aaron had expounded these things unto him, the king said: What shall I do that I may have this eternal life of which thou hast spoken? Yea, what shall I do that I may be born of God, having this wicked spirit rooted out of my breast, and receive his Spirit, that I may be filled with joy, that I may not be cast off at the last day? Behold, said he, I will give up all that I possess, yea, I will forsake my kingdom, that I may receive this great joy.

Alma 22:17
And it came to pass that when Aaron had said these words, the king did bow down before the Lord, upon his knees; yea, even he did prostrate himself upon the earth, and cried mightily, saying:

Alma 22:18
O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God; and if there is a God, and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known unto me, and I will give away all my sins to know thee, and that I may be raised from the dead, and be saved at the last day. And now when the king had said these words, he wass=hlblue>as struck ass=hlgree>as if he were dead.

Alma 22:19
And it came to pass that his servants ran and told the queen all that had happened unto the king. And she came in unto the king; and when she saw him lay ass=hlgree>as if he were dead, and also Aaron and his brethren standing ass=hlgree>as though they had been the cause of his fall, she wass=hlblue>as angry with them, and commanded that her servants, or the servants of the king, should take them and slay them.

Alma 22:22
Now when Aaron saw the determination of the queen, he, also knowing the hardness of the hearts of the people, feared lest that a multitude should ass=hlblue>assemble themselves together, and there should be a great contention and a disturbance among them; therefore he put forth his hand and raised the king from the earth, and said unto him: Stand. And he stood upon his feet, receiving his strength.

Alma 22:23
Now this wass=hlblue>as done in the presence of the queen and many of the servants. And when they saw it they greatly marveled, and began to fear. And the king stood forth, and began to minister unto them. And he did minister unto them, insomuch that his whole household were converted unto the Lord.

Alma 22:24
Now there wass=hlblue>as a multitude gathered together because of the commandment of the queen, and there began to be great murmurings among them because of Aaron and his brethren.

Alma 22:26
And it came to pass that when the king saw that the people were pacified, he caused that Aaron and his brethren should stand forth in the midst of the multitude, and that they should preach the word unto them.

Alma 22:27
And it came to pass that the king sent a proclamation throughout all the land, amongst all his people who were in all his land, who were in all the regions round about, which wass=hlblue>as bordering even to the sea, on the east and on the west, and which wass=hlblue>as divided from the land of Zarahemla by a narrow strip of wilderness, which ran from the sea east even to the sea west, and round about on the borders of the seashore, and the borders of the wilderness which wass=hlblue>as on the north by the land of Zarahemla, through the borders of Manti, by the head of the river Sidon, running from the east towards the west-- and thus were the Lamanites and the Nephites divided.

Alma 22:28
Now, the more idle part of the Lamanites lived in the wilderness, and dwelt in tents; and they were spread through the wilderness on the west, in the land of Nephi; yea, and also on the west of the land of Zarahemla, in the borders by the seashore, and on the west in the land of Nephi, in the place of their fathers' first inheritance, and thus bordering along by the seashore.

Alma 22:29
And also there were many Lamanites on the east by the seashore, whither the Nephites had driven them. And thus the Nephites were nearly surrounded by the Lamanites; nevertheless the Nephites had taken possession of all the northern parts of the land bordering on the wilderness, at the head of the river Sidon, from the east to the west, round about on the wilderness side; on the north, even until they came to the land which they called Bountiful.

Alma 22:30
And it bordered upon the land which they called Desolation, it being so far northward that it came into the land which had been peopled and been destroyed, of whose bones we have spoken, which wass=hlblue>as discovered by the people of Zarahemla, it being the place of their first landing.

Alma 22:31
And they came from there up into the south wilderness. Thus the land on the northward wass=hlblue>as called Desolation, and the land on the southward wass=hlblue>as called Bountiful, it being the wilderness which is filled with all manner of wild animals of every kind, a part of which had come from the land northward for food.

Alma 22:32
And now, it wass=hlblue>as only the distance of a day and a half's journey for a Nephite, on the line Bountiful and the land Desolation, from the east to the west sea; and thus the land of Nephi and the land of Zarahemla were nearly surrounded by water, there being a small neck of land between the land northward and the land southward.

Alma 22:33
And it came to pass that the Nephites had inhabited the land Bountiful, even from the east unto the west sea, and thus the Nephites in their wisdom, with their guards and their armies, had hemmed in the Lamanites on the south, that thereby they should have no more possession on the north, that they might not overrun the land northward.

Alma 22:34
Therefore the Lamanites could have no more possessions only in the land of Nephi, and the wilderness round about. Now this wass=hlblue>as wisdom in the Nephites-- ass=hlgree>as the Lamanites were an enemy to them, they would not suffer their afflictions on every hand, and also that they might have a country whither they might flee, according to their desires.

Alma 23:1
Behold, now it came to pass that the king of the Lamanites sent a proclamation among all his people, that they should not lay their hands on Ammon, or Aaron, or Omner, or Himni, nor either of their brethren who should go forth preaching the word of God, in whatsoever place they should be, in any part of their land.

Alma 23:2
Yea, he sent a decree among them, that they should not lay their hands on them to bind them, or to cast them into prison; neither should they spit upon them, nor smite them, nor cast them out of their synagogues, nor scourge them; neither should they cast stones at them, but that they should have free access to their houses, and also their temples, and their sanctuaries.

Alma 23:4
And now it came to pass that when the king had sent forth this proclamation, that Aaron and his brethren went forth from city to city, and from one house of worship to another, establishing churches, and consecrating priests and teachers throughout the land among the Lamanites, to preach and to teach the word of God among them; and thus they began to have great success.

Alma 23:6
And ass=hlgree>as sure ass=hlgree>as the Lord liveth, so sure ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as believed, or ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, according to the spirit of revelation and of prophecy, and the power of God working miracles in them-- yea, I say unto you, ass=hlgree>as the Lord liveth, ass=hlgree>as many of the Lamanites ass=hlgree>as believed in their preaching, and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away.

Alma 23:16
And now it came to pass that the king and those who were converted were desirous that they might have a name, that thereby they might be distinguished from their brethren; therefore the king consulted with Aaron and many of their priests, concerning the name that they should take upon them, that they might be distinguished.

Alma 23:17
And it came to pass that they called their names Anti-Nephi-Lehies; and they were called by this name and were no more called Lamanites.

Alma 24:1
And it came to pass that the Amalekites and the Amulonites and the Lamanites who were in the land of Amulon, and also in the land of Helam, and who were in the land of Jerusalem, and in fine, in all the land round about, who had not been converted and had not taken upon them the name of Anti-Nephi-Lehi, were stirred up by the Amalekites and by the Amulonites to anger against their brethren.

Alma 24:6
Now there wass=hlblue>as not one soul among all the people who had been converted unto the Lord that would take up arms against their brethren; nay, they would not even make any preparations for war; yea, and also their king commanded them that they should not.

Alma 24:7
Now, these are the words which he said unto the people concerning the matter: I thank my God, my beloved people, that our great God hass=hlblue>as in goodness sent these our brethren, the Nephites, unto us to preach unto us, and to convince us of the traditions of our wicked fathers.

Alma 24:8
And behold, I thank my great God that he hass=hlblue>as given us a portion of his Spirit to soften our hearts, that we have opened a correspondence with these brethren, the Nephites.

Alma 24:11
And now behold, my brethren, since it hass=hlblue>as been all that we could do (ass=hlgree>as we were the most lost of all mankind) to repent of all our sins and the many murders which we have committed, and to get God to take them away from our hearts, for it wass=hlblue>as all we could do to repent sufficiently before God that he would take away our stain--

Alma 24:13
Behold, I say unto you, Nay, let us retain our swords that they be not stained with the blood of our brethren; for perhaps, if we should stain our swords again they can no more be washed bright through the blood of the Son of our great God, which shall be shed for the atonement of our sins.

Alma 24:14
And the great God hass=hlblue>as had mercy on us, and made these things known unto us that we might not perish; yea, and he hass=hlblue>as made these things known unto us beforehand, because he loveth our souls ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as he loveth our children; therefore, in his mercy he doth visit us by his angels, that the plan of salvation might be made known unto us ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as unto future generations.

Alma 24:15
Oh, how merciful is our God! And now behold, since it hass=hlblue>as been ass=hlgree>as much ass=hlgree>as we could do to get our stains taken away from us, and our swords are made bright, let us hide them away that they may be kept bright, ass=hlgree>as a testimony to our God at the last day, or at the day that we shall be brought to stand before him to be judged, that we have not stained our swords in the blood of our brethren since he imparted his word unto us and hass=hlblue>as made us clean thereby.

Alma 24:16
And now, my brethren, if our brethren seek to destroy us, behold, we will hide away our swords, yea, even we will bury them deep in the earth, that they may be kept bright, ass=hlgree>as a testimony that we have never used them, at the last day; and if our brethren destroy us, behold, we shall go to our God and shall be saved.

Alma 24:17
And now it came to pass that when the king had made an end of these sayings, and all the people were ass=hlblue>assembled together, they took their swords, and all the weapons which were used for the shedding of man's blood, and they did bury them up deep in the earth.

Alma 24:20
And it came to pass that their brethren, the Lamanites, made preparations for war, and came up to the land of Nephi for the purpose of destroying the king, and to place another in his stead, and also of destroying the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi out of the land.

Alma 24:23
Now when the Lamanites saw that their brethren would not flee from the sword, neither would they turn ass=hlblue>aside to the right hand or to the left, but that they would lie down and perish, and praised God even in the very act of perishing under the sword--

Alma 24:25
And it came to pass that they threw down their weapons of war, and they would not take them again, for they were stung for the murders which they had committed; and they came down even ass=hlgree>as their brethren, relying upon the mercies of those whose arms were lifted to slay them.

Alma 24:26
And it came to pass that the people of God were joined that day by more than the number who had been slain; and those who had been slain were righteous people, therefore we have no reason to doubt but what they were saved.

Alma 24:27
And there wass=hlblue>as not a wicked man slain among them; but there were more than a thousand brought to the knowledge of the truth; thus we see that the Lord worketh in many ways to the salvation of his people.

Alma 25:1
And behold, now it came to pass that those Lamanites were more angry because they had slain their brethren; therefore they swore vengeance upon the Nephites; and they did no more attempt to slay the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi at that time.

Alma 25:5
And the remainder, having fled into the east wilderness, and having usurped the power and authority over the Lamanites, caused that many of the Lamanites should perish by fire because of their belief--

Alma 25:7
And it came to pass that those rulers who were the remnant of the children of Amulon caused that they should be put to death, yea, all those that believed in these things.

Alma 25:8
Now this martyrdom caused that many of their brethren should be stirred up to anger; and there began to be contention in the wilderness; and the Lamanites began to hunt the seed of Amulon and his brethren and began to slay them; and they fled into the east wilderness.

Alma 25:9
And behold they are hunted at this day by the Lamanites. Thus the words of Abinadi were brought to pass, which he said concerning the seed of the priests who caused that he should suffer death by fire.

Alma 25:11
And now Abinadi wass=hlblue>as the first that suffered death by fire because of his belief in God; now this is what he meant, that many should suffer death by fire, according ass=hlgree>as he had suffered.

Alma 25:12
And he said unto the priests of Noah that their seed should cause many to be put to death, in the like manner ass=hlgree>as he wass=hlblue>as, and that they should be scattered abroad and slain, even ass=hlgree>as a sheep having no shepherd is driven and slain by wild beasts; and now behold, these words were verified, for they were driven by the Lamanites, and they were hunted, and they were smitten.

Alma 25:13
And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that they could not overpower the Nephites they returned again to their own land; and many of them came over to dwell in the land of Ishmael and the land of Nephi, and did join themselves to the people of God, who were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

Alma 25:14
And they did also bury their weapons of war, according ass=hlgree>as their brethren had, and they began to be a righteous people; and they did walk in the ways of the Lord, and did observe to keep his commandments and his statutes.

Alma 25:15
Yea, and they did keep the law of Moses; for it wass=hlblue>as expedient that they should keep the law of Moses ass=hlgree>as yet, for it wass=hlblue>as not all fulfilled. But notwithstanding the law of Moses, they did look forward to the coming of Christ, considering that the law of Moses wass=hlblue>as a type of his coming, and believing that they must keep those outward performances until the time that he should be revealed unto them.

Alma 26:1
And now, these are the words of Ammon to his brethren, which say thus: My brothers and my brethren, behold I say unto you, how great reason have we to rejoice; for could we have supposed when we started from the land of Zarahemla that God would have granted unto us such great blessings?

Alma 26:2
And now, I ass=hlblue>ask, what great blessings hass=hlblue>as he bestowed upon us? Can ye tell?

Alma 26:5
Behold, the field wass=hlblue>as ripe, and blessed are ye, for ye did thrust in the sickle, and did reap with your might, yea, all the day long did ye labor; and behold the number of your sheaves! And they shall be gathered into the garners, that they are not wasted.

Alma 26:6
Yea, they shall not be beaten down by the storm at the last day; yea, neither shall they be harrowed up by the whirlwinds; but when the storm cometh they shall be gathered together in their place, that the storm cannot penetrate to them; yea, neither shall they be driven with fierce winds whithersoever the enemy listeth to carry them.

Alma 26:7
But behold, they are in the hands of the Lord of the harvest, and they are his; and he will raise them up at the last day.

Alma 26:10
And it came to pass that when Ammon had said these words, his brother Aaron rebuked him, saying: Ammon, I fear that thy joy doth carry thee away unto boasting.

Alma 26:11
But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God.

Alma 26:12
Yea, I know that I am nothing; ass=hlgree>as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.

Alma 26:13
Behold, how many thousands of our brethren hass=hlblue>as he loosed from the pains of hell; and they are brought to sing redeeming love, and this because of the power of his word which is in us, therefore have we not great reason to rejoice?

Alma 26:14
Yea, we have reason to praise him forever, for he is the Most High God, and hass=hlblue>as loosed our brethren from the chains of hell.

Alma 26:15
Yea, they were encircled about with everlasting darkness and destruction; but behold, he hass=hlblue>as brought them into his everlasting light, yea, into everlasting salvation; and they are encircled about with the matchless bounty of his love; yea, and we have been instruments in his hands of doing this great and marvelous work.

Alma 26:17
Who could have supposed that our God would have been so merciful ass=hlgree>as to have snatched us from our awful, sinful, and polluted state?

Alma 26:20
Oh, my soul, almost ass=hlgree>as it were, fleeth at the thought. Behold, he did not exercise his justice upon us, but in his great mercy hath brought us over that everlasting gulf of death and misery, even to the salvation of our souls.

Alma 26:22
Yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing-- unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even ass=hlgree>as it hass=hlblue>as been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance.

Alma 26:24
For they said unto us: Do ye suppose that ye can bring the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth? Do ye suppose that ye can convince the Lamanites of the incorrectness of the traditions of their fathers, ass=hlgree>as stiffnecked a people ass=hlgree>as they are; whose hearts delight in the shedding of blood; whose days have been spent in the grossest iniquity; whose ways have been the ways of a transgressor from the beginning? Now my brethren, ye remember that this wass=hlblue>as their language.

Alma 26:29
And we have entered into their houses and taught them, and we have taught them in their streets; yea, and we have taught them upon their hills; and we have also entered into their temples and their synagogues and taught them; and we have been cast out, and mocked, and spit upon, and smote upon our cheeks; and we have been stoned, and taken and bound with strong cords, and cast into prison; and through the power and wisdom of God we have been delivered again.

Alma 26:33
And now behold I say unto you, hass=hlblue>as there been so great love in all the land? Behold, I say unto you, Nay, there hass=hlblue>as not, even among the Nephites.

Alma 26:35
Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yea, I say unto you, there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice ass=hlgree>as we, since the world began; yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God; for he hass=hlblue>as all power, all wisdom, and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful Being, even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name.

Alma 26:36
Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast; for this is my life and my light, my joy and my salvation, and my redemption from everlasting wo. Yea, blessed is the name of my God, who hass=hlblue>as been mindful of this people, who are a branch of the tree of Israel, and hass=hlblue>as been lost from its body in a strange land; yea, I say, blessed be the name of my God, who hass=hlblue>as been mindful of us, wanderers in a strange land.

Alma 27:1
Now it came to pass that when those Lamanites who had gone to war against the Nephites had found, after their many struggles to destroy them, that it wass=hlblue>as in vain to seek their destruction, they returned again to the land of Nephi.

Alma 27:2
And it came to pass that the Amalekites, because of their loss, were exceedingly angry. And when they saw that they could not seek revenge from the Nephites, they began to stir up the people in anger against their brethren, the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi; therefore they began again to destroy them.

Alma 27:4
Now when Ammon and his brethren saw this work of destruction among those whom they so dearly beloved, and among those who had so dearly beloved them-- for they were treated ass=hlgree>as though they were angels sent from God to save them from everlasting destruction-- therefore, when Ammon and his brethren saw this great work of destruction, they were moved with compassion, and they said unto the king:

Alma 27:9
But Ammon said unto him: It is against the law of our brethren, which wass=hlblue>as established by my father, that there should be any slaves among them; therefore let us go down and rely upon the mercies of our brethren.

Alma 27:11
And it came to pass that Ammon went and inquired of the Lord, and the Lord said unto him:

Alma 27:12
Get this people out of this land, that they perish not; for Satan hass=hlblue>as great hold on the hearts of the Amalekites, who do stir up the Lamanites to anger against their brethren to slay them; therefore get thee out of this land; and blessed are this people in this generation, for I will preserve them.

Alma 27:13
And now it came to pass that Ammon went and told the king all the words which the Lord had said unto him.

Alma 27:15
And it came to pass that Ammon said unto them: Behold, I and my brethren will go forth into the land of Zarahemla, and ye shall remain here until we return; and we will try the hearts of our brethren, whether they will that ye shall come into their land.

Alma 27:16
And it came to pass that ass=hlgree>as Ammon wass=hlblue>as going forth into the land, that he and his brethren met Alma, over in the place of which hass=hlblue>as been spoken; and behold, this wass=hlblue>as a joyful meeting.

Alma 27:17
Now the joy of Ammon wass=hlblue>as so great even that he wass=hlblue>as full; yea, he wass=hlblue>as swallowed up in the joy of his God, even to the exhausting of his strength; and he fell again to the earth.

Alma 27:18
Now wass=hlblue>as not this exceeding joy? Behold, this is joy which none receiveth save it be the truly penitent and humble seeker of happiness.

Alma 27:19
Now the joy of Alma in meeting his brethren wass=hlblue>as truly great, and also the joy of Aaron, of Omner, and Himni; but behold their joy wass=hlblue>as not that to exceed their strength.

Alma 27:20
And now it came to pass that Alma conducted his brethren back to the land of Zarahemla; even to his own house. And they went and told the chief judge all the things that had happened unto them in the land of Nephi, among their brethren, the Lamanites.

Alma 27:21
And it came to pass that the chief judge sent a proclamation throughout all the land, desiring the voice of the people concerning the admitting their brethren, who were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

Alma 27:22
And it came to pass that the voice of the people came, saying: Behold, we will give up the land of Jershon, which is on the east by the sea, which joins the land Bountiful, which is on the south of the land Bountiful; and this land Jershon is the land which we will give unto our brethren for an inheritance.

Alma 27:24
And now behold, this will we do unto our brethren, that they may inherit the land Jershon; and we will guard them from their enemies with our armies, on condition that they will give us a portion of their substance to ass=hlblue>assist us that we may maintain our armies.

Alma 27:25
Now, it came to pass that when Ammon had heard this, he returned to the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi, and also Alma with him, into the wilderness, where they had pitched their tents, and made known unto them all these things. And Alma also related unto them his conversion, with Ammon and Aaron, and his brethren.

Alma 27:26
And it came to pass that it did cause great joy among them. And they went down into the land of Jershon, and took possession of the land of Jershon; and they were called by the Nephites the people of Ammon; therefore they were distinguished by that name ever after.

Alma 27:28
And they did look upon shedding the blood of their brethren with the greatest abhorrence; and they never could be prevailed upon to take up arms against their brethren; and they never did look upon death with any degree of terror, for their hope and views of Christ and the resurrection; therefore, death wass=hlblue>as swallowed up to them by the victory of Christ over it.

Alma 28:1
And now it came to pass that after the people of Ammon were established in the land of Jershon, and a church also established in the land of Jershon, and the armies of the Nephites were set round about the land of Jershon, yea, in all the borders round about the land of Zarahemla; behold the armies of the Lamanites had followed their brethren into the wilderness.

Alma 28:2
And thus there wass=hlblue>as a tremendous battle; yea, even such an one ass=hlgree>as never had been known among all the people in the land from the time Lehi left Jerusalem; yea, and tens of thousands of the Lamanites were slain and scattered abroad.

Alma 28:3
Yea, and also there wass=hlblue>as a tremendous slaughter among the people of Nephi; nevertheless, the Lamanites were driven and scattered, and the people of Nephi returned again to their land.

Alma 28:4
And now this wass=hlblue>as a time that there wass=hlblue>as a great mourning and lamentation heard throughout all the land, among all the people of Nephi--

Alma 28:5
Yea, the cry of widows mourning for their husbands, and also of fathers mourning for their sons, and the daughter for the brother, yea, the brother for the father; and thus the cry of mourning wass=hlblue>as heard among all of them, mourning for their kindred who had been slain.

Alma 28:6
And now surely this wass=hlblue>as a sorrowful day; yea, a time of solemnity, and a time of much fasting and prayer.

Alma 28:10
And from the first year to the fifteenth hass=hlblue>as brought to pass the destruction of many thousand lives; yea, it hass=hlblue>as brought to pass an awful scene of bloodshed.

Alma 28:11
And the bodies of many thousands are laid low in the earth, while the bodies of many thousands are moldering in heaps upon the face of the earth; yea, and many thousands are mourning for the loss of their kindred, because they have reason to fear, according to the promises of the Lord, that they are consigned to a state of endless wo.

Alma 28:14
And thus we see the great call of diligence of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord; and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, and also of rejoicing-- sorrow because of death and destruction among men, and joy because of the light of Christ unto life.

Alma 29:2
Yea, I would declare unto every soul, ass=hlgree>as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, that they should repent and come unto our God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth.

Alma 29:10
And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord hass=hlblue>as done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which he extended towards me.

Alma 29:16
Now, when I think of the success of these my brethren my soul is carried away, even to the separation of it from the body, ass=hlgree>as it were, so great is my joy.

Alma 29:17
And now may God grant unto these, my brethren, that they may sit down in the kingdom of God; yea, and also all those who are the fruit of their labors that they may go no more out, but that they may praise him forever. And may God grant that it may be done according to my words, even ass=hlgree>as I have spoken. Amen.

Alma 30:1
Behold, now it came to pass that after the people of Ammon were established in the land of Jershon, yea, and also after the Lamanites were driven out of the land, and their dead were buried by the people of the land--

Alma 30:2
Now their dead were not numbered because of the greatness of their numbers; neither were the dead of the Nephites numbered-- but it came to pass after they had buried their dead, and also after the days of fasting, and mourning, and prayer, (and it wass=hlblue>as in the sixteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi) there began to be continual peace throughout all the land.

Alma 30:5
And it came to pass that in the commencement of the seventeenth year of the reign of the judges, there wass=hlblue>as continual peace.

Alma 30:6
But it came to pass in the latter end of the seventeenth year, there came a man into the land of Zarahemla, and he wass=hlblue>as Anti-Christ, for he began to preach unto the people against the prophecies which had been spoken by the prophets, concerning the coming of Christ.

Alma 30:7
Now there wass=hlblue>as no law against a man's belief; for it wass=hlblue>as strictly contrary to the commands of God that there should be a law which should bring men on to unequal grounds.

Alma 30:9
Now if a man desired to serve God, it wass=hlblue>as his privilege; or rather, if he believed in God it wass=hlblue>as his privilege to serve him; but if he did not believe in him there wass=hlblue>as no law to punish him.

Alma 30:10
But if he murdered he wass=hlblue>as punished unto death; and if he robbed he wass=hlblue>as also punished; and if he stole he wass=hlblue>as also punished; and if he committed adultery he wass=hlblue>as also punished; yea, for all this wickedness they were punished.

Alma 30:11
For there wass=hlblue>as a law that men should be judged according to their crimes. Nevertheless, there wass=hlblue>as no law against a man's belief; therefore, a man wass=hlblue>as punished only for the crimes which he had done; therefore all men were on equal grounds.

Alma 30:12
And this Anti-Christ, whose name wass=hlblue>as Korihor, (and the law could have no hold upon him) began to preach unto the people that there should be no Christ. And after this manner did he preach, saying:

Alma 30:17
And many more such things did he say unto them, telling them that there could be no atonement made for the sins of men, but every man fared in this life according to the management of the creature; therefore every man prospered according to his genius, and that every man conquered according to his strength; and whatsoever a man did wass=hlblue>as no crime.

Alma 30:18
And thus he did preach unto them, leading away the hearts of many, causing them to lift up their heads in their wickedness, yea, leading away many women, and also men, to commit whoredoms-- telling them that when a man wass=hlblue>as dead, that wass=hlblue>as the end thereof.

Alma 30:20
But behold they were more wise than many of the Nephites; for they took him, and bound him, and carried him before Ammon, who wass=hlblue>as a high priest over that people.

Alma 30:21
And it came to pass that he caused that he should be carried out of the land. And he came over into the land of Gideon, and began to preach unto them also; and here he did not have much success, for he wass=hlblue>as taken and bound and carried before the high priest, and also the chief judge over the land.

Alma 30:22
And it came to pass that the high priest said unto him: Why do ye go about perverting the ways of the Lord? Why do ye teach this people that there shall be no Christ, to interrupt their rejoicings? Why do ye speak against all the prophecies of the holy prophets?

Alma 30:23
Now the high priest's name wass=hlblue>as Giddonah. And Korihor said unto him: Because I do not teach the foolish traditions of your fathers, and because I do not teach this people to bind themselves down under the foolish ordinances and performances which are laid down by ancient priests, to usurp power and authority over them, to keep them in ignorance, that they may not lift up their heads, but be brought down according to thy words.

Alma 30:27
And thus ye lead away this people after the foolish traditions of your fathers, and according to your own desires; and ye keep them down, even ass=hlgree>as it were in bondage, that ye may glut yourselves with the labors of their hands, that they durst not look up with boldness, and that they durst not enjoy their rights and privileges.

Alma 30:28
Yea, they durst not make use of that which is their own lest they should offend their priests, who do yoke them according to their desires, and have brought them to believe, by their traditions and their dreams and their whims and their visions and their pretended mysteries, that they should, if they did not do according to their words, offend some unknown being, who they say is God-- a being who never hass=hlblue>as been seen or known, who never wass=hlblue>as nor ever will be.

Alma 30:29
Now when the high priest and the chief judge saw the hardness of his heart, yea, when they saw that he would revile even against God, they would not make any reply to his words; but they caused that he should be bound; and they delivered him up into the hands of the officers, and sent him to the land of Zarahemla, that he might be brought before Alma, and the chief judge who wass=hlblue>as governor over all the land.

Alma 30:30
And it came to pass that when he wass=hlblue>as brought before Alma and the chief judge, he did go on in the same manner ass=hlgree>as he did in the land of Gideon; yea, he went on to blaspheme.

Alma 30:33
And notwithstanding the many labors which I have performed in the church, I have never received so much ass=hlgree>as even one senine for my labor; neither hass=hlblue>as any of my brethren, save it were in the judgment-seat; and then we have received only according to law for our time.

Alma 30:41
But, behold, I have all things ass=hlgree>as a testimony that these things are true; and ye also have all things ass=hlgree>as a testimony unto you that they are true; and will ye deny them? Believest thou that these things are true?

Alma 30:42
Behold, I know that thou believest, but thou art possessed with a lying spirit, and ye have put off the Spirit of God that it may have no place in you; but the devil hass=hlblue>as power over you, and he doth carry you about, working devices that he may destroy the children of God.

Alma 30:44
But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.

Alma 30:46
And now it came to pass that Alma said unto him: Behold, I am grieved because of the hardness of your heart, yea, that ye will still resist the spirit of the truth, that thy soul may be destroyed.

Alma 30:50
Now when Alma had said these words, Korihor wass=hlblue>as struck dumb, that he could not have utterance, according to the words of Alma.

Alma 30:51
And now when the chief judge saw this, he put forth his hand and wrote unto Korihor, saying: Art thou convinced of the power of God? In whom did ye desire that Alma should show forth his sign? Would ye that he should afflict others, to show unto thee a sign? Behold, he hass=hlblue>as showed unto you a sign; and now will ye dispute more?

Alma 30:52
And Korihor put forth his hand and wrote, saying: I know that I am dumb, for I cannot speak; and I know that nothing save it were the power of God could bring this upon me; yea, and I always knew that there wass=hlblue>as a God.

Alma 30:53
But behold, the devil hath deceived me; for he appeared unto me in the form of an angel, and said unto me: Go and reclaim this people, for they have all gone ass=hlblue>astray after an unknown God. And he said unto me: There is no God; yea, and he taught me that which I should say. And I have taught his words; and I taught them because they were pleasing unto the carnal mind; and I taught them, even until I had much success, insomuch that I verily believed that they were true; and for this cause I withstood the truth, even until I have brought this great curse upon me.

Alma 30:55
But Alma said unto him: If this curse should be taken from thee thou wouldst again lead away the hearts of this people; therefore, it shall be unto thee even ass=hlgree>as the Lord will.

Alma 30:56
And it came to pass that the curse wass=hlblue>as not taken off of Korihor; but he wass=hlblue>as cast out, and went about from house to house begging for his food.

Alma 30:57
Now the knowledge of what had happened unto Korihor wass=hlblue>as immediately published throughout all the land; yea, the proclamation wass=hlblue>as sent forth by the chief judge to all the people in the land, declaring unto those who had believed in the words of Korihor that they must speedily repent, lest the same judgments would come unto them.

Alma 30:58
And it came to pass that they were all convinced of the wickedness of Korihor; therefore they were all converted again unto the Lord; and this put an end to the iniquity after the manner of Korihor. And Korihor did go about from house to house, begging food for his support.

Alma 30:59
And it came to pass that ass=hlgree>as he went forth among the people, yea, among a people who had separated themselves from the Nephites and called themselves Zoramites, being led by a man whose name wass=hlblue>as Zoram-- and ass=hlgree>as he went forth amongst them, behold, he wass=hlblue>as run upon and trodden down, even until he wass=hlblue>as dead.

Alma 30:60
And thus we see the end of him who perverteth the ways of the Lord; and thus we see that the devil will not support his children at the last day, but doth speedily drag them down to hell.

Alma 31:1
Now it came to pass that after the end of Korihor, Alma having received tidings that the Zoramites were perverting the ways of the Lord, and that Zoram, who wass=hlblue>as their leader, wass=hlblue>as leading the hearts of the people to bow down to dumb idols, his heart again began to sicken because of the iniquity of the people.

Alma 31:2
For it wass=hlblue>as the cause of great sorrow to Alma to know of iniquity among his people; therefore his heart wass=hlblue>as exceedingly sorrowful because of the separation of the Zoramites from the Nephites.

Alma 31:3
Now the Zoramites had gathered themselves together in a land which they called Antionum, which wass=hlblue>as east of the land of Zarahemla, which lay nearly bordering upon the seashore, which wass=hlblue>as south of the land of Jershon, which also bordered upon the wilderness south, which wilderness wass=hlblue>as full of the Lamanites.

Alma 31:5
And now, ass=hlgree>as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which wass=hlblue>as just-- yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them-- therefore Alma thought it wass=hlblue>as expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.

Alma 31:7
Now the eldest of his sons he took not with him, and his name wass=hlblue>as Helaman; but the names of those whom he took with him were Shiblon and Corianton; and these are the names of those who went with him among the Zoramites, to preach unto them the word.

Alma 31:12
Now, when they had come into the land, behold, to their ass=hlblue>astonishment they found that the Zoramites had built synagogues, and that they did gather themselves together on one day of the week, which day they did call the day of the Lord; and they did worship after a manner which Alma and his brethren had never beheld;

Alma 31:13
For they had a place built up in the center of their synagogue, a place for standing, which wass=hlblue>as high above the head; and the top thereof would only admit one person.

Alma 31:15
Holy, holy God; we believe that thou art God, and we believe that thou art holy, and that thou wast a spirit, and that thou art a spirit, and that thou wilt be a spirit forever.

Alma 31:16
Holy God, we believe that thou hast separated us from our brethren; and we do not believe in the tradition of our brethren, which wass=hlblue>as handed down to them by the childishness of their fathers; but we believe that thou hast elected us to be thy holy children; and also thou hast made it known unto us that there shall be no Christ.

Alma 31:17
But thou art the same yesterday, today, and forever; and thou hast elected us that we shall be saved, whilst all around us are elected to be cast by thy wrath down to hell; for the which holiness, O God, we thank thee; and we also thank thee that thou hast elected us, that we may not be led away after the foolish traditions of our brethren, which doth bind them down to a belief of Christ, which doth lead their hearts to wander far from thee, our God.

Alma 31:19
Now it came to pass that after Alma and his brethren and his sons had heard these prayers, they were ass=hlblue>astonished beyond all measure.

Alma 31:21
Now the place wass=hlblue>as called by them Rameumptom, which, being interpreted, is the holy stand.

Alma 31:23
Now, after the people had all offered up thanks after this manner, they returned to their homes, never speaking of their God again until they had ass=hlblue>assembled themselves together again to the holy stand, to offer up thanks after their manner.

Alma 31:24
Now when Alma saw this his heart wass=hlblue>as grieved; for he saw that they were a wicked and a perverse people; yea, he saw that their hearts were set upon gold, and upon silver, and upon all manner of fine goods.

Alma 31:25
Yea, and he also saw that their hearts were lifted up unto great boasting, in their pride.

Alma 31:29
Yea, and they say that thou hast made it known unto them that there shall be no Christ.

Alma 31:36
Now it came to pass that when Alma had said these words, that he clapped his hands upon all them who were with him. And behold, ass=hlgree>as he clapped his hands upon them, they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Alma 31:38
And the Lord provided for them that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst; yea, and he also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ. Now this wass=hlblue>as according to the prayer of Alma; and this because he prayed in faith.

Alma 32:1
And it came to pass that they did go forth, and began to preach the word of God unto the people, entering into their synagogues, and into their houses; yea, and even they did preach the word in their streets.

Alma 32:2
And it came to pass that after much labor among them, they began to have success among the poor class of people; for behold, they were cast out of the synagogues because of the coarseness of their apparel--

Alma 32:3
Therefore they were not permitted to enter into their synagogues to worship God, being esteemed ass=hlgree>as filthiness; therefore they were poor; yea, they were esteemed by their brethren ass=hlgree>as dross; therefore they were poor ass=hlgree>as to things of the world; and also they were poor in heart.

Alma 32:4
Now, ass=hlgree>as Alma wass=hlblue>as teaching and speaking unto the people upon the hill Onidah, there came a great multitude unto him, who were those of whom we have been speaking, of whom were poor in heart, because of their poverty ass=hlgree>as to the things of the world.

Alma 32:5
And they came unto Alma; and the one who wass=hlblue>as the foremost among them said unto him: Behold, what shall these my brethren do, for they are despised of all men because of their poverty, yea, and more especially by our priests; for they have cast us out of our synagogues which we have labored abundantly to build with our own hands; and they have cast us out because of our exceeding poverty; and we have no place to worship our God; and behold, what shall we do?

Alma 32:9
Behold thy brother hath said, What shall we do?-- for we are cast out of our synagogues, that we cannot worship our God.

Alma 32:11
And moreover, I would ass=hlblue>ask, do ye suppose that ye must not worship God only once in a week?

Alma 32:12
I say unto you, it is well that ye are cast out of your synagogues, that ye may be humble, and that ye may learn wisdom; for it is necessary that ye should learn wisdom; for it is because that ye are cast out, that ye are despised of your brethren because of your exceeding poverty, that ye are brought to a lowliness of heart; for ye are necessarily brought to be humble.

Alma 32:14
And now, ass=hlgree>as I said unto you, that because ye were compelled to be humble ye were blessed, do ye not suppose that they are more blessed who truly humble themselves because of the word?

Alma 32:18
Now I ass=hlblue>ask, is this faith? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for if a man knoweth a thing he hath no cause to believe, for he knoweth it.

Alma 32:20
Now of this thing ye must judge. Behold, I say unto you, that it is on the one hand even ass=hlgree>as it is on the other; and it shall be unto every man according to his work.

Alma 32:21
And now ass=hlgree>as I said concerning faith-- faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.

Alma 32:24
And now, my beloved brethren, ass=hlgree>as ye have desired to know of me what ye shall do because ye are afflicted and cast out-- now I do not desire that ye should suppose that I mean to judge you only according to that which is true--

Alma 32:26
Now, ass=hlgree>as I said concerning faith-- that it wass=hlblue>as not a perfect knowledge-- even so it is with my words. Ye cannot know of their surety at first, unto perfection, any more than faith is a perfect knowledge.

Alma 32:28
Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves-- It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.

Alma 32:29
Now behold, would not this increase your faith? I say unto you, Yea; nevertheless it hath not grown up to a perfect knowledge.

Alma 32:30
But behold, ass=hlgree>as the seed swelleth, and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow, then you must needs say that the seed is good; for behold it swelleth, and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow. And now, behold, will not this strengthen your faith? Yea, it will strengthen your faith: for ye will say I know that this is a good seed; for behold it sprouteth and beginneth to grow.

Alma 32:32
Therefore, if a seed groweth it is good, but if it groweth not, behold it is not good, therefore it is cast away.

Alma 32:35
O then, is not this real? I say unto you, Yea, because it is light; and whatsoever is light, is good, because it is discernible, therefore ye must know that it is good; and now behold, after ye have tasted this light is your knowledge perfect?

Alma 32:36
Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither must ye lay ass=hlblue>aside your faith, for ye have only exercised your faith to plant the seed that ye might try the experiment to know if the seed wass=hlblue>as good.

Alma 32:37
And behold, ass=hlgree>as the tree beginneth to grow, ye will say: Let us nourish it with great care, that it may get root, that it may grow up, and bring forth fruit unto us. And now behold, if ye nourish it with much care it will get root, and grow up, and bring forth fruit.

Alma 32:38
But if ye neglect the tree, and take no thought for its nourishment, behold it will not get any root; and when the heat of the sun cometh and scorcheth it, because it hath no root it withers away, and ye pluck it up and cast it out.

Alma 32:39
Now, this is not because the seed wass=hlblue>as not good, neither is it because the fruit thereof would not be desirable; but it is because your ground is barren, and ye will not nourish the tree, therefore ye cannot have the fruit thereof.

Alma 32:41
But if ye will nourish the word, yea, nourish the tree ass=hlgree>as it beginneth to grow, by your faith with great diligence, and with patience, looking forward to the fruit thereof, it shall take root; and behold it shall be a tree springing up unto everlasting life.

Alma 32:42
And because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, behold, by and by ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet, and which is white above all that is white, yea, and pure above all that is pure; and ye shall feast upon this fruit even until ye are filled, that ye hunger not, neither shall ye thirst.

Alma 33:2
And Alma said unto them: Behold, ye have said that ye could not worship your God because ye are cast out of your synagogues. But behold, I say unto you, if ye suppose that ye cannot worship God, ye do greatly err, and ye ought to search the scriptures; if ye suppose that they have taught you this, ye do not understand them.

Alma 33:3
Do ye remember to have read what Zenos, the prophet of old, hass=hlblue>as said concerning prayer or worship?

Alma 33:4
For he said: Thou art merciful, O God, for thou hast heard my prayer, even when I wass=hlblue>as in the wilderness; yea, thou wast merciful when I prayed concerning those who were mine enemies, and thou didst turn them to me.

Alma 33:5
Yea, O God, and thou wast merciful unto me when I did cry unto thee in my field; when I did cry unto thee in my prayer, and thou didst hear me.

Alma 33:9
Yea, O God, thou hast been merciful unto me, and heard my cries in the midst of thy congregations.

Alma 33:10
Yea, and thou hast also heard me when I have been cast out and have been despised by mine enemies; yea, thou didst hear my cries, and wast angry with mine enemies, and thou didst visit them in thine anger with speedy destruction.

Alma 33:11
And thou didst hear me because of mine afflictions and my sincerity; and it is because of thy Son that thou hast been thus merciful unto me, therefore I will cry unto thee in all mine afflictions, for in thee is my joy; for thou hast turned thy judgments away from me, because of thy Son.

Alma 33:13
Behold, if ye do, ye must believe what Zenos said; for, behold he said: Thou hast turned away thy judgments because of thy Son.

Alma 33:14
Now behold, my brethren, I would ass=hlblue>ask if ye have read the scriptures? If ye have, how can ye disbelieve on the Son of God?

Alma 33:16
For behold, he said: Thou art angry, O Lord, with this people, because they will not understand thy mercies which thou hast bestowed upon them because of thy Son.

Alma 33:17
And now, my brethren, ye see that a second prophet of old hass=hlblue>as testified of the Son of God, and because the people would not understand his words they stoned him to death.

Alma 33:19
Behold, he wass=hlblue>as spoken of by Moses; yea, and behold a type wass=hlblue>as raised up in the wilderness, that whosoever would look upon it might live. And many did look and live.

Alma 33:20
But few understood the meaning of those things, and this because of the hardness of their hearts. But there were many who were so hardened that they would not look, therefore they perished. Now the reason they would not look is because they did not believe that it would heal them.

Alma 33:21
O my brethren, if ye could be healed by merely casting about your eyes that ye might be healed, would ye not behold quickly, or would ye rather harden your hearts in unbelief, and be slothful, that ye would not cast about your eyes, that ye might perish?

Alma 33:22
If so, wo shall come upon you; but if not so, then cast about your eyes and begin to believe in the Son of God, that he will come to redeem his people, and that he shall suffer and die to atone for their sins; and that he shall rise again from the dead, which shall bring to pass the resurrection, that all men shall stand before him, to be judged at the last and judgment day, according to their works.

Alma 33:23
And now, my brethren, I desire that ye shall plant this word in your hearts, and ass=hlgree>as it beginneth to swell even so nourish it by your faith. And behold, it will become a tree, springing up in you unto everlasting life. And then may God grant unto you that your burdens may be light, through the joy of his Son. And even all this can ye do if ye will. Amen.

Alma 34:1
And now it came to pass that after Alma had spoken these words unto them he sat down upon the ground, and Amulek arose and began to teach them, saying:

Alma 34:3
And ass=hlgree>as ye have desired of my beloved brother that he should make known unto you what ye should do, because of your afflictions; and he hath spoken somewhat unto you to prepare your minds; yea, and he hath exhorted you unto faith and to patience--

Alma 34:4
Yea, even that ye would have so much faith ass=hlgree>as even to plant the word in your hearts, that ye may try the experiment of its goodness.

Alma 34:6
And ye also beheld that my brother hass=hlblue>as proved unto you, in many instances, that the word is in Christ unto salvation.

Alma 34:7
My brother hass=hlblue>as called upon the words of Zenos, that redemption cometh through the Son of God, and also upon the words of Zenock; and also he hass=hlblue>as appealed unto Moses, to prove that these things are true.

Alma 34:10
For it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice; yea, not a sacrifice of man, neither of beast, neither of any manner of fowl; for it shall not be a human sacrifice; but it must be an infinite and eternal sacrifice.

Alma 34:13
Therefore, it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice, and then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be, a stop to the shedding of blood; then shall the law of Moses be fulfilled; yea, it shall be all fulfilled, every jot and tittle, and none shall have passed away.

Alma 34:14
And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law, every whit pointing to that great and last sacrifice; and that great and last sacrifice will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal.

Alma 34:15
And thus he shall bring salvation to all those who shall believe on his name; this being the intent of this last sacrifice, to bring about the bowels of mercy, which overpowereth justice, and bringeth about means unto men that they may have faith unto repentance.

Alma 34:16
And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice, and encircles them in the arms of safety, while he that exercises no faith unto repentance is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice; therefore only unto him that hass=hlblue>as faith unto repentance is brought about the great and eternal plan of redemption.

Alma 34:25
Cry over the flocks of your fields, that they may increase.

Alma 34:28
And now behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, do not suppose that this is all; for after ye have done all these things, if ye turn away the needy, and the naked, and visit not the sick and afflicted, and impart of your substance, if ye have, to those who stand in need-- I say unto you, if ye do not any of these things, behold, your prayer is vain, and availeth you nothing, and ye are ass=hlgree>as hypocrites who do deny the faith.

Alma 34:29
Therefore, if ye do not remember to be charitable, ye are ass=hlgree>as dross, which the refiners do cast out, (it being of no worth) and is trodden under foot of men.

Alma 34:33
And now, ass=hlgree>as I said unto you before, ass=hlgree>as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.

Alma 34:35
For behold, if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death, behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil, and he doth seal you his; therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no place in you, and the devil hath all power over you; and this is the final state of the wicked.

Alma 34:36
And this I know, because the Lord hath said he dwelleth not in unholy temples, but in the hearts of the righteous doth he dwell; yea, and he hass=hlblue>as also said that the righteous shall sit down in his kingdom, to go no more out; but their garments should be made white through the blood of the Lamb.

Alma 34:39
Yea, and I also exhort you, my brethren, that ye be watchful unto prayer continually, that ye may not be led away by the temptations of the devil, that he may not overpower you, that ye may not become his subjects at the last day; for behold, he rewardeth you no good thing.

Alma 34:40
And now my beloved brethren, I would exhort you to have patience, and that ye bear with all manner of afflictions; that ye do not revile against those who do cast you out because of your exceeding poverty, lest ye become sinners like unto them;

Alma 35:1
Now it came to pass that after Amulek had made an end of these words, they withdrew themselves from the multitude and came over into the land of Jershon.

Alma 35:3
And it came to pass that after the more popular part of the Zoramites had consulted together concerning the words which had been preached unto them, they were angry because of the word, for it did destroy their craft; therefore they would not hearken unto the words.

Alma 35:6
And it came to pass that after they had found out the minds of all the people, those who were in favor of the words which had been spoken by Alma and his brethren were cast out of the land; and they were many; and they came over also into the land of Jershon.

Alma 35:7
And it came to pass that Alma and his brethren did minister unto them.

Alma 35:8
Now the people of the Zoramites were angry with the people of Ammon who were in Jershon, and the chief ruler of the Zoramites, being a very wicked man, sent over unto the people of Ammon desiring them that they should cast out of their land all those who came over from them into their land.

Alma 35:9
And he breathed out many threatenings against them. And now the people of Ammon did not fear their words; therefore they did not cast them out, but they did receive all the poor of the Zoramites that came over unto them; and they did nourish them, and did clothe them, and did give unto them lands for their inheritance; and they did administer unto them according to their wants.

Alma 35:14
And Alma, and Ammon, and their brethren, and also the two sons of Alma returned to the land of Zarahemla, after having been instruments in the hands of God of bringing many of the Zoramites to repentance; and ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as were brought to repentance were driven out of their land; but they have lands for their inheritance in the land of Jershon, and they have taken up arms to defend themselves, and their wives, and children, and their lands.

Alma 35:15
Now Alma, being grieved for the iniquity of his people, yea for the wars, and the bloodsheds, and the contentions which were among them; and having been to declare the word, or sent to declare the word, among all the people in every city; and seeing that the hearts of the people began to wax hard, and that they began to be offended because of the strictness of the word, his heart wass=hlblue>as exceedingly sorrowful.

Alma 36:1
My son, give ear to my words; for I swear unto you, that inasmuch ass=hlgree>as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land.

Alma 36:2
I would that ye should do ass=hlgree>as I have done, in remembering the captivity of our fathers; for they were in bondage, and none could deliver them except it wass=hlblue>as the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he surely did deliver them in their afflictions.

Alma 36:3
And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy youth, and therefore, I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; for I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day.

Alma 36:5
Now, behold, I say unto you, if I had not been born of God I should not have known these things; but God hass=hlblue>as, by the mouth of his holy angel, made these things known unto me, not of any worthiness of myself;

Alma 36:7
And behold, he spake unto us, ass=hlgree>as it were the voice of thunder, and the whole earth did tremble beneath our feet; and we all fell to the earth, for the fear of the Lord came upon us.

Alma 36:10
And it came to pass that I fell to the earth; and it wass=hlblue>as for the space of three days and three nights that I could not open my mouth, neither had I the use of my limbs.

Alma 36:11
And the angel spake more things unto me, which were heard by my brethren, but I did not hear them; for when I heard the words-- If thou wilt be destroyed of thyself, seek no more to destroy the church of God-- I wass=hlblue>as struck with such great fear and amazement lest perhaps I should be destroyed, that I fell to the earth and I did hear no more.

Alma 36:12
But I wass=hlblue>as racked with eternal torment, for my soul wass=hlblue>as harrowed up to the greatest degree and racked with all my sins.

Alma 36:13
Yea, I did remember all my sins and iniquities, for which I wass=hlblue>as tormented with the pains of hell; yea, I saw that I had rebelled against my God, and that I had not kept his holy commandments.

Alma 36:16
And now, for three days and for three nights wass=hlblue>as I racked, even with the pains of a damned soul.

Alma 36:17
And it came to pass that ass=hlgree>as I wass=hlblue>as thus racked with torment, while I wass=hlblue>as harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.

Alma 36:18
Now, ass=hlgree>as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death.

Alma 36:19
And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I wass=hlblue>as harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.

Alma 36:20
And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul wass=hlblue>as filled with joy ass=hlgree>as exceeding ass=hlgree>as wass=hlblue>as my pain!

Alma 36:21
Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter ass=hlgree>as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet ass=hlgree>as wass=hlblue>as my joy.

Alma 36:22
Yea, methought I saw, even ass=hlgree>as our father Lehi saw, God sitting upon his throne, surrounded with numberless concourses of angels, in the attitude of singing and praising their God; yea, and my soul did long to be there.

Alma 36:24
Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Alma 36:26
For because of the word which he hass=hlblue>as imparted unto me, behold, many have been born of God, and have tasted ass=hlgree>as I have tasted, and have seen eye to eye ass=hlgree>as I have seen; therefore they do know of these things of which I have spoken, ass=hlgree>as I do know; and the knowledge which I have is of God.

Alma 36:27
And I have been supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all manner of afflictions; yea, God hass=hlblue>as delivered me from prison, and from bonds, and from death; yea, and I do put my trust in him, and he will still deliver me.

Alma 36:28
And I know that he will raise me up at the last day, to dwell with him in glory; yea, and I will praise him forever, for he hass=hlblue>as brought our fathers out of Egypt, and he hass=hlblue>as swallowed up the Egyptians in the Red Sea; and he led them by his power into the promised land; yea, and he hass=hlblue>as delivered them out of bondage and captivity from time to time.

Alma 36:29
Yea, and he hass=hlblue>as also brought our fathers out of the land of Jerusalem; and he hass=hlblue>as also, by his everlasting power, delivered them out of bondage and captivity, from time to time even down to the present day; and I have always retained in remembrance their captivity; yea, and ye also ought to retain in remembrance, ass=hlgree>as I have done, their captivity.

Alma 36:30
But behold, my son, this is not all; for ye ought to know ass=hlgree>as I do know, that inasmuch ass=hlgree>as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land; and ye ought to know also, that inasmuch ass=hlgree>as ye will not keep the commandments of God ye shall be cut off from his presence. Now this is according to his word.

Alma 37:2
And I also command you that ye keep a record of this people, according ass=hlgree>as I have done, upon the plates of Nephi, and keep all these things sacred which I have kept, even ass=hlgree>as I have kept them; for it is for a wise purpose that they are kept.

Alma 37:3
And these plates of brass, which contain these engravings, which have the records of the holy scriptures upon them, which have the genealogy of our forefathers, even from the beginning--

Alma 37:4
Behold, it hass=hlblue>as been prophesied by our fathers, that they should be kept and handed down from one generation to another, and be kept and preserved by the hand of the Lord until they should go forth unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, that they shall know of the mysteries contained thereon.

Alma 37:6
Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.

Alma 37:8
And now, it hass=hlblue>as hitherto been wisdom in God that these things should be preserved; for behold, they have enlarged the memory of this people, yea, and convinced many of the error of their ways, and brought them to the knowledge of their God unto the salvation of their souls.

Alma 37:14
And now remember, my son, that God hass=hlblue>as entrusted you with these things, which are sacred, which he hass=hlblue>as kept sacred, and also which he will keep and preserve for a wise purpose in him, that he may show forth his power unto future generations.

Alma 37:15
And now behold, I tell you by the spirit of prophecy, that if ye transgress the commandments of God, behold, these things which are sacred shall be taken away from you by the power of God, and ye shall be delivered up unto Satan, that he may sift you ass=hlgree>as chaff before the wind.

Alma 37:17
For he will fulfil all his promises which he shall make unto you, for he hass=hlblue>as fulfilled his promises which he hass=hlblue>as made unto our fathers.

Alma 37:20
Therefore I command you, my son Helaman, that ye be diligent in fulfilling all my words, and that ye be diligent in keeping the commandments of God ass=hlgree>as they are written.

Alma 37:26
And now, my son, we see that they did not repent; therefore they have been destroyed, and thus far the word of God hass=hlblue>as been fulfilled; yea, their secret abominations have been brought out of darkness and made known unto us.

Alma 37:32
And now, my son, remember the words which I have spoken unto you; trust not those secret plans unto this people, but teach them an everlasting hatred against sin and iniquity.

Alma 37:37
Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

Alma 37:38
And now, my son, I have somewhat to say concerning the thing which our fathers call a ball, or director-- or our fathers called it Liahona, which is, being interpreted, a compass; and the Lord prepared it.

Alma 37:39
And behold, there cannot any man work after the manner of so curious a workmanship. And behold, it wass=hlblue>as prepared to show unto our fathers the course which they should travel in the wilderness.

Alma 37:40
And it did work for them according to their faith in God; therefore, if they had faith to believe that God could cause that those spindles should point the way they should go, behold, it wass=hlblue>as done; therefore they had this miracle, and also many other miracles wrought by the power of God, day by day.

Alma 37:41
Nevertheless, because those miracles were worked by small means it did show unto them marvelous works. They were slothful, and forgot to exercise their faith and diligence and then those marvelous works ceased, and they did not progress in their journey;

Alma 37:43
And now, my son, I would that ye should understand that these things are not without a shadow; for ass=hlgree>as our fathers were slothful to give heed to this compass (now these things were temporal) they did not prosper; even so it is with things which are spiritual.

Alma 37:44
For behold, it is ass=hlgree>as easy to give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss, ass=hlgree>as it wass=hlblue>as for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land.

Alma 37:45
And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For just ass=hlgree>as surely ass=hlgree>as this director did bring our fathers, by following its course, to the promised land, shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise.

Alma 37:46
O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way; for so wass=hlblue>as it with our fathers; for so wass=hlblue>as it prepared for them, that if they would look they might live; even so it is with us. The way is prepared, and if we will look we may live forever.

Alma 38:1
My son, give ear to my words, for I say unto you, even ass=hlgree>as I said unto Helaman, that inasmuch ass=hlgree>as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land; and inasmuch ass=hlgree>as ye will not keep the commandments of God ye shall be cut off from his presence.

Alma 38:2
And now, my son, I trust that I shall have great joy in you, because of your steadiness and your faithfulness unto God; for ass=hlgree>as you have commenced in your youth to look to the Lord your God, even so I hope that you will continue in keeping his commandments; for blessed is he that endureth to the end.

Alma 38:4
For I know that thou wast in bonds; yea, and I also know that thou wast stoned for the word's sake; and thou didst bear all these things with patience because the Lord wass=hlblue>as with thee; and now thou knowest that the Lord did deliver thee.

Alma 38:5
And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember, that ass=hlgree>as much ass=hlgree>as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

Alma 38:7
But behold, the Lord in his great mercy sent his angel to declare unto me that I must stop the work of destruction among his people; yea, and I have seen an angel face to face, and he spake with me, and his voice wass=hlblue>as ass=hlgree>as thunder, and it shook the whole earth.

Alma 38:8
And it came to pass that I wass=hlblue>as three days and three nights in the most bitter pain and anguish of soul; and never, until I did cry out unto the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy, did I receive a remission of my sins. But behold, I did cry unto him and I did find peace to my soul.

Alma 38:10
And now, ass=hlgree>as ye have begun to teach the word even so I would that ye should continue to teach; and I would that ye would be diligent and temperate in all things.

Alma 38:11
See that ye are not lifted up unto pride; yea, see that ye do not boast in your own wisdom, nor of your much strength.

Alma 38:12
Use boldness, but not overbearance; and also see that ye bridle all your passions, that ye may be filled with love; see that ye refrain from idleness.

Alma 38:13
Do not pray ass=hlgree>as the Zoramites do, for ye have seen that they pray to be heard of men, and to be praised for their wisdom.

Alma 38:15
And may the Lord bless your soul, and receive you at the last day into his kingdom, to sit down in peace. Now go, my son, and teach the word unto this people. Be sober. My son, farewell.

Alma 39:1
And now, my son, I have somewhat more to say unto thee than what I said unto thy brother; for behold, have ye not observed the steadiness of thy brother, his faithfulness, and his diligence in keeping the commandments of God? Behold, hass=hlblue>as he not set a good example for thee?

Alma 39:2
For thou didst not give so much heed unto my words ass=hlgree>as did thy brother, among the people of the Zoramites. Now this is what I have against thee; thou didst go on unto boasting in thy strength and thy wisdom.

Alma 39:3
And this is not all, my son. Thou didst do that which wass=hlblue>as grievous unto me; for thou didst forsake the ministry, and did go over into the land of Siron among the borders of the Lamanites, after the harlot Isabel.

Alma 39:4
Yea, she did steal away the hearts of many; but this wass=hlblue>as no excuse for thee, my son. Thou shouldst have tended to the ministry wherewith thou wast entrusted.

Alma 39:6
For behold, if ye deny the Holy Ghost when it once hass=hlblue>as had place in you, and ye know that ye deny it, behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable; yea, and whosoever murdereth against the light and knowledge of God, it is not easy for him to obtain forgiveness; yea, I say unto you, my son, that it is not easy for him to obtain a forgiveness.

Alma 39:8
But behold, ye cannot hide your crimes from God; and except ye repent they will stand ass=hlgree>as a testimony against you at the last day.

Alma 39:16
And now, my son, this wass=hlblue>as the ministry unto which ye were called, to declare these glad tidings unto this people, to prepare their minds; or rather that salvation might come unto them, that they may prepare the minds of their children to hear the word at the time of his coming.

Alma 39:17
And now I will ease your mind somewhat on this subject. Behold, you marvel why these things should be known so long beforehand. Behold, I say unto you, is not a soul at this time ass=hlgree>as precious unto God ass=hlgree>as a soul will be at the time of his coming?

Alma 39:18
Is it not ass=hlgree>as necessary that the plan of redemption should be made known unto this people ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as unto their children?

Alma 39:19
Is it not ass=hlgree>as easy at this time for the Lord to send his angel to declare these glad tidings unto us ass=hlgree>as unto our children, or ass=hlgree>as after the time of his coming?

Alma 40:3
Behold, he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead. But behold, my son, the resurrection is not yet. Now, I unfold unto you a mystery; nevertheless, there are many mysteries which are kept, that no one knoweth them save God himself. But I show unto you one thing which I have inquired diligently of God that I might know-- that is concerning the resurrection.

Alma 40:5
Now, whether there shall be one time, or a second time, or a third time, that men shall come forth from the dead, it mattereth not; for God knoweth all these things; and it sufficeth me to know that this is the case-- that there is a time appointed that all shall rise from the dead.

Alma 40:8
Now whether there is more than one time appointed for men to rise it mattereth not; for all do not die at once, and this mattereth not; all is ass=hlgree>as one day with God, and time only is measured unto men.

Alma 40:11
Now, concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrection-- Behold, it hass=hlblue>as been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, ass=hlgree>as soon ass=hlgree>as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life.

Alma 40:12
And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow.

Alma 40:13
And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are evil-- for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord; for behold, they chose evil works rather than good; therefore the spirit of the devil did enter into them, and take possession of their house-- and these shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and this because of their own iniquity, being led captive by the will of the devil.

Alma 40:14
Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked, yea, in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them; thus they remain in this state, ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as the righteous in paradise, until the time of their resurrection.

Alma 40:15
Now, there are some that have understood that this state of happiness and this state of misery of the soul, before the resurrection, wass=hlblue>as a first resurrection. Yea, I admit it may be termed a resurrection, the raising of the spirit or the soul and their consignation to happiness or misery, according to the words which have been spoken.

Alma 40:19
Now, whether the souls and the bodies of those of whom hass=hlblue>as been spoken shall all be reunited at once, the wicked ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as the righteous, I do not say; let it suffice, that I say that they all come forth; or in other words, their resurrection cometh to pass before the resurrection of those who die after the resurrection of Christ.

Alma 40:20
Now, my son, I do not say that their resurrection cometh at the resurrection of Christ; but behold, I give it ass=hlgree>as my opinion, that the souls and the bodies are reunited, of the righteous, at the resurrection of Christ, and his ass=hlblue>ascension into heaven.

Alma 40:22
Yea, this bringeth about the restoration of those things of which hass=hlblue>as been spoken by the mouths of the prophets.

Alma 40:24
And now, my son, this is the restoration of which hass=hlblue>as been spoken by the mouths of the prophets--

Alma 40:26
But behold, an awful death cometh upon the wicked; for they die ass=hlgree>as to things pertaining to things of righteousness; for they are unclean, and no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of God; but they are cast out, and consigned to partake of the fruits of their labors or their works, which have been evil; and they drink the dregs of a bitter cup.

Alma 41:1
And now, my son, I have somewhat to say concerning the restoration of which hass=hlblue>as been spoken; for behold, some have wrested the scriptures, and have gone far ass=hlblue>astray because of this thing. And I perceive that thy mind hass=hlblue>as been worried also concerning this thing. But behold, I will explain it unto thee.

Alma 41:3
And it is requisite with the justice of God that men should be judged according to their works; and if their works were good in this life, and the desires of their hearts were good, that they should also, at the last day, be restored unto that which is good.

Alma 41:5
The one raised to happiness according to his desires of happiness, or good according to his desires of good; and the other to evil according to his desires of evil; for ass=hlgree>as he hass=hlblue>as desired to do evil all the day long even so shall he have his reward of evil when the night cometh.

Alma 41:10
Do not suppose, because it hass=hlblue>as been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never wass=hlblue>as happiness.

Alma 41:13
O, my son, this is not the case; but the meaning of the word restoration is to bring back again evil for evil, or carnal for carnal, or devilish for devilish-- good for that which is good; righteous for that which is righteous; just for that which is just; merciful for that which is merciful.

Alma 42:2
Now behold, my son, I will explain this thing unto thee. For behold, after the Lord God sent our first parents forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground, from whence they were taken-- yea, he drew out the man, and he placed at the east end of the garden of Eden, cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the tree of life--

Alma 42:3
Now, we see that the man had become ass=hlgree>as God, knowing good and evil; and lest he should put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever, the Lord God placed cherubim and the flaming sword, that he should not partake of the fruit--

Alma 42:4
And thus we see, that there wass=hlblue>as a time granted unto man to repent, yea, a probationary time, a time to repent and serve God.

Alma 42:6
But behold, it wass=hlblue>as appointed unto man to die-- therefore, ass=hlgree>as they were cut off from the tree of life they should be cut off from the face of the earth-- and man became lost forever, yea, they became fallen man.

Alma 42:8
Now behold, it wass=hlblue>as not expedient that man should be reclaimed from this temporal death, for that would destroy the great plan of happiness.

Alma 42:9
Therefore, ass=hlgree>as the soul could never die, and the fall had brought upon all mankind a spiritual death ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as a temporal, that is, they were cut off from the presence of the Lord, it wass=hlblue>as expedient that mankind should be reclaimed from this spiritual death.

Alma 42:10
Therefore, ass=hlgree>as they had become carnal, sensual, and devilish, by nature, this probationary state became a state for them to prepare; it became a preparatory state.

Alma 42:11
And now remember, my son, if it were not for the plan of redemption, (laying it ass=hlblue>aside) ass=hlgree>as soon ass=hlgree>as they were dead their souls were miserable, being cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Alma 42:12
And now, there wass=hlblue>as no means to reclaim men from this fallen state, which man had brought upon himself because of his own disobedience;

Alma 42:13
Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; for except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice. Now the work of justice could not be destroyed; if so, God would cease to be God.

Alma 42:14
And thus we see that all mankind were fallen, and they were in the grasp of justice; yea, the justice of God, which consigned them forever to be cut off from his presence.

Alma 42:15
And now, the plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made; therefore God himself atoneth for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also.

Alma 42:16
Now, repentance could not come unto men except there were a punishment, which also wass=hlblue>as eternal ass=hlgree>as the life of the soul should be, affixed opposite to the plan of happiness, which wass=hlblue>as ass=hlgree>as eternal also ass=hlgree>as the life of the soul.

Alma 42:17
Now, how could a man repent except he should sin? How could he sin if there wass=hlblue>as no law? How could there be a law save there wass=hlblue>as a punishment?

Alma 42:18
Now, there wass=hlblue>as a punishment affixed, and a just law given, which brought remorse of conscience unto man.

Alma 42:19
Now, if there wass=hlblue>as no law given-- if a man murdered he should die-- would he be afraid he would die if he should murder?

Alma 42:20
And also, if there wass=hlblue>as no law given against sin men would not be afraid to sin.

Alma 42:21
And if there wass=hlblue>as no law given, if men sinned what could justice do, or mercy either, for they would have no claim upon the creature?

Alma 42:22
But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and a repentance granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.

Alma 42:23
But God ceaseth not to be God, and mercy claimeth the penitent, and mercy cometh because of the atonement; and the atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; and the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God; and thus they are restored into his presence, to be judged according to their works, according to the law and justice.

Alma 42:25
What, do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? I say unto you, Nay; not one whit. If so, God would cease to be God.

Alma 42:27
Therefore, O my son, whosoever will come may come and partake of the waters of life freely; and whosoever will not come the same is not compelled to come; but in the last day it shall be restored unto him according to his deeds.

Alma 42:28
If he hass=hlblue>as desired to do evil, and hass=hlblue>as not repented in his days, behold, evil shall be done unto him, according to the restoration of God.

Alma 42:30
O my son, I desire that ye should deny the justice of God no more. Do not endeavor to excuse yourself in the least point because of your sins, by denying the justice of God; but do you let the justice of God, and his mercy, and his long-suffering have full sway in your heart; and let it bring you down to the dust in humility.

Alma 43:1
And now it came to pass that the sons of Alma did go forth among the people, to declare the word unto them. And Alma, also, himself, could not rest, and he also went forth.

Alma 43:4
For behold, it came to pass that the Zoramites became Lamanites; therefore, in the commencement of the eighteenth year the people of the Nephites saw that the Lamanites were coming upon them; therefore they made preparations for war; yea, they gathered together their armies in the land of Jershon.

Alma 43:5
And it came to pass that the Lamanites came with their thousands; and they came into the land of Antionum, which is the land of the Zoramites; and a man by the name of Zerahemnah wass=hlblue>as their leader.

Alma 43:6
And now, ass=hlgree>as the Amalekites were of a more wicked and murderous disposition than the Lamanites were, in and of themselves, therefore, Zerahemnah appointed chief captains over the Lamanites, and they were all Amalekites and Zoramites.

Alma 43:9
And now the design of the Nephites wass=hlblue>as to support their lands, and their houses, and their wives, and their children, that they might preserve them from the hands of their enemies; and also that they might preserve their rights and their privileges, yea, and also their liberty, that they might worship God according to their desires.

Alma 43:14
Now those descendants were ass=hlgree>as numerous, nearly, ass=hlgree>as were the Nephites; and thus the Nephites were obliged to contend with their brethren, even unto bloodshed.

Alma 43:15
And it came to pass ass=hlgree>as the armies of the Lamanites had gathered together in the land of Antionum, behold, the armies of the Nephites were prepared to meet them in the land of Jershon.

Alma 43:16
Now, the leader of the Nephites, or the man who had been appointed to be the chief captain over the Nephites-- now the chief captain took the command of all the armies of the Nephites-- and his name wass=hlblue>as Moroni;

Alma 43:17
And Moroni took all the command, and the government of their wars. And he wass=hlblue>as only twenty and five years old when he wass=hlblue>as appointed chief captain over the armies of the Nephites.

Alma 43:18
And it came to pass that he met the Lamanites in the borders of Jershon, and his people were armed with swords, and with cimeters, and all manner of weapons of war.

Alma 43:19
And when the armies of the Lamanites saw that the people of Nephi, or that Moroni, had prepared his people with breastplates and with arm-shields, yea, and also shields to defend their heads, and also they were dressed with thick clothing--

Alma 43:20
Now the army of Zerahemnah wass=hlblue>as not prepared with any such thing; they had only their swords and their cimeters, their bows and their arrows, their stones and their slings; and they were naked, save it were a skin which wass=hlblue>as girded about their loins; yea, all were naked, save it were the Zoramites and the Amalekites;

Alma 43:21
But they were not armed with breastplates, nor shields-- therefore, they were exceedingly afraid of the armies of the Nephites because of their armor, notwithstanding their number being so much greater than the Nephites.

Alma 43:22
Behold, now it came to pass that they durst not come against the Nephites in the borders of Jershon; therefore they departed out of the land of Antionum into the wilderness, and took their journey round about in the wilderness, away by the head of the river Sidon, that they might come into the land of Manti and take possession of the land; for they did not suppose that the armies of Moroni would know whither they had gone.

Alma 43:23
But it came to pass, ass=hlgree>as soon ass=hlgree>as they had departed into the wilderness Moroni sent spies into the wilderness to watch their camp; and Moroni, also, knowing of the prophecies of Alma, sent certain men unto him, desiring him that he should inquire of the Lord whither the armies of the Nephites should go to defend themselves against the Lamanites.

Alma 43:24
And it came to pass that the word of the Lord came unto Alma, and Alma informed the messengers of Moroni, that the armies of the Lamanites were marching round about in the wilderness, that they might come over into the land of Manti, that they might commence an attack upon the weaker part of the people. And those messengers went and delivered the message unto Moroni.

Alma 43:27
And it came to pass that Moroni caused that his army should be secreted in the valley which wass=hlblue>as near the bank of the river Sidon, which wass=hlblue>as on the west of the river Sidon in the wilderness.

Alma 43:29
And now, ass=hlgree>as Moroni knew the intention of the Lamanites, that it wass=hlblue>as their intention to destroy their brethren, or to subject them and bring them into bondage that they might establish a kingdom unto themselves over all the land;

Alma 43:30
And he also knowing that it wass=hlblue>as the only desire of the Nephites to preserve their lands, and their liberty, and their church, therefore he thought it no sin that he should defend them by stratagem; therefore, he found by his spies which course the Lamanites were to take.

Alma 43:31
Therefore, he divided his army and brought a part over into the valley, and concealed them on the east, and on the south of the hill Riplah;

Alma 43:33
And thus having placed his army according to his desire, he wass=hlblue>as prepared to meet them.

Alma 43:34
And it came to pass that the Lamanites came up on the north of the hill, where a part of the army of Moroni wass=hlblue>as concealed.

Alma 43:35
And ass=hlgree>as the Lamanites had passed the hill Riplah, and came into the valley, and began to cross the river Sidon, the army which wass=hlblue>as concealed on the south of the hill, which wass=hlblue>as led by a man whose name wass=hlblue>as Lehi, and he led his army forth and encircled the Lamanites about on the east in their rear.

Alma 43:36
And it came to pass that the Lamanites, when they saw the Nephites coming upon them in their rear, turned them about and began to contend with the army of Lehi.

Alma 43:37
And the work of death commenced on both sides, but it wass=hlblue>as more dreadful on the part of the Lamanites, for their nakedness wass=hlblue>as exposed to the heavy blows of the Nephites with their swords and their cimeters, which brought death almost at every stroke.

Alma 43:38
While on the other hand, there wass=hlblue>as now and then a man fell among the Nephites, by their swords and the loss of blood, they being shielded from the more vital parts of the body, or the more vital parts of the body being shielded from the strokes of the Lamanites, by their breastplates, and their armshields, and their head-plates; and thus the Nephites did carry on the work of death among the Lamanites.

Alma 43:39
And it came to pass that the Lamanites became frightened, because of the great destruction among them, even until they began to flee towards the river Sidon.

Alma 43:41
And it came to pass that Moroni and his army met the Lamanites in the valley, on the other side of the river Sidon, and began to fall upon them and to slay them.

Alma 43:43
Now in this case the Lamanites did fight exceedingly; yea, never had the Lamanites been known to fight with such exceedingly great strength and courage, no, not even from the beginning.

Alma 43:44
And they were inspired by the Zoramites and the Amalekites, who were their chief captains and leaders, and by Zerahemnah, who wass=hlblue>as their chief captain, or their chief leader and commander; yea, they did fight like dragons, and many of the Nephites were slain by their hands, yea, for they did smite in two many of their head-plates, and they did pierce many of their breastplates, and they did smite off many of their arms; and thus the Lamanites did smite in their fierce anger.

Alma 43:46
And they were doing that which they felt wass=hlblue>as the duty which they owed to their God; for the Lord had said unto them, and also unto their fathers, that: Inasmuch ass=hlgree>as ye are not guilty of the first offense, neither the second, ye shall not suffer yourselves to be slain by the hands of your enemies.

Alma 43:47
And again, the Lord hass=hlblue>as said that: Ye shall defend your families even unto bloodshed. Therefore for this cause were the Nephites contending with the Lamanites, to defend themselves, and their families, and their lands, their country, and their rights, and their religion.

Alma 43:48
And it came to pass that when the men of Moroni saw the fierceness and the anger of the Lamanites, they were about to shrink and flee from them. And Moroni, perceiving their intent, sent forth and inspired their hearts with these thoughts-- yea, the thoughts of their lands, their liberty, yea, their freedom from bondage.

Alma 43:49
And it came to pass that they turned upon the Lamanites, and they cried with one voice unto the Lord their God, for their liberty and their freedom from bondage.

Alma 43:52
Therefore the armies of Moroni encircled them about, yea, even on both sides of the river, for behold, on the east were the men of Lehi.

Alma 43:53
Therefore when Zerahemnah saw the men of Lehi on the east of the river Sidon, and the armies of Moroni on the west of the river Sidon, that they were encircled about by the Nephites, they were struck with terror.

Alma 44:1
And it came to pass that they did stop and withdrew a pace from them. And Moroni said unto Zerahemnah: Behold, Zerahemnah, that we do not desire to be men of blood. Ye know that ye are in our hands, yet we do not desire to slay you.

Alma 44:3
But now, ye behold that the Lord is with us; and ye behold that he hass=hlblue>as delivered you into our hands. And now I would that ye should understand that this is done unto us because of our religion and our faith in Christ. And now ye see that ye cannot destroy this our faith.

Alma 44:4
Now ye see that this is the true faith of God; yea, ye see that God will support, and keep, and preserve us, so long ass=hlgree>as we are faithful unto him, and unto our faith, and our religion; and never will the Lord suffer that we shall be destroyed except we should fall into transgression and deny our faith.

Alma 44:5
And now, Zerahemnah, I command you, in the name of that all-powerful God, who hass=hlblue>as strengthened our arms that we have gained power over you, by our faith, by our religion, and by our rites of worship, and by our church, and by the sacred support which we owe to our wives and our children, by that liberty which binds us to our lands and our country; yea, and also by the maintenance of the sacred word of God, to which we owe all our happiness; and by all that is most dear unto us--

Alma 44:8
And now it came to pass that when Zerahemnah had heard these sayings he came forth and delivered up his sword and his cimeter, and his bow into the hands of Moroni, and said unto him: Behold, here are our weapons of war; we will deliver them up unto you, but we will not suffer ourselves to take an oath unto you, which we know that we shall break, and also our children; but take our weapons of war, and suffer that we may depart into the wilderness; otherwise we will retain our swords, and we will perish or conquer.

Alma 44:9
Behold, we are not of your faith; we do not believe that it is God that hass=hlblue>as delivered us into your hands; but we believe that it is your cunning that hass=hlblue>as preserved you from our swords. Behold, it is your breastplates and your shields that have preserved you.

Alma 44:11
Now I cannot recall the words which I have spoken, therefore ass=hlgree>as the Lord liveth, ye shall not depart except ye depart with an oath that ye will not return again against us to war. Now ass=hlgree>as ye are in our hands we will spill your blood upon the ground, or ye shall submit to the conditions which I have proposed.

Alma 44:12
And now when Moroni had said these words, Zerahemnah retained his sword, and he wass=hlblue>as angry with Moroni, and he rushed forward that he might slay Moroni; but ass=hlgree>as he raised his sword, behold, one of Moroni's soldiers smote it even to the earth, and it broke by the hilt; and he also smote Zerahemnah that he took off his scalp and it fell to the earth. And Zerahemnah withdrew from before them into the midst of his soldiers.

Alma 44:13
And it came to pass that the soldier who stood by, who smote off the scalp of Zerahemnah, took up the scalp from off the ground by the hair, and laid it upon the point of his sword, and stretched it forth unto them, saying unto them with a loud voice:

Alma 44:14
Even ass=hlgree>as this scalp hass=hlblue>as fallen to the earth, which is the scalp of your chief, so shall ye fall to the earth except ye will deliver up your weapons of war and depart with a covenant of peace.

Alma 44:15
Now there were many, when they heard these words and saw the scalp which wass=hlblue>as upon the sword, that were struck with fear; and many came forth and threw down their weapons of war at the feet of Moroni, and entered into a covenant of peace. And ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as entered into a covenant they suffered to depart into the wilderness.

Alma 44:16
Now it came to pass that Zerahemnah wass=hlblue>as exceedingly wroth, and he did stir up the remainder of his soldiers to anger, to contend more powerfully against the Nephites.

Alma 44:17
And now Moroni wass=hlblue>as angry, because of the stubbornness of the Lamanites; therefore he commanded his people that they should fall upon them and slay them. And it came to pass that they began to slay them; yea, and the Lamanites did contend with their swords and their might.

Alma 44:18
But behold, their naked skins and their bare heads were exposed to the sharp swords of the Nephites; yea, behold they were pierced and smitten, yea, and did fall exceedingly fast before the swords of the Nephites; and they began to be swept down, even ass=hlgree>as the soldier of Moroni had prophesied.

Alma 44:20
And it came to pass that Moroni caused that the work of death should cease again among the people. And he took the weapons of war from the Lamanites; and after they had entered into a covenant with him of peace they were suffered to depart into the wilderness.

Alma 44:21
Now the number of their dead wass=hlblue>as not numbered because of the greatness of the number; yea, the number of their dead wass=hlblue>as exceedingly great, both on the Nephites and on the Lamanites.

Alma 44:22
And it came to pass that they did cast their dead into the waters of Sidon, and they have gone forth and are buried in the depths of the sea.

Alma 44:24
And thus ended the eighteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi. And thus ended the record of Alma, which wass=hlblue>as written upon the plates of Nephi.

Alma 45:1
Behold, now it came to pass that the people of Nephi were exceedingly rejoiced, because the Lord had again delivered them out of the hands of their enemies; therefore they gave thanks unto the Lord their God; yea, and they did fast much and pray much, and they did worship God with exceedingly great joy.

Alma 45:2
And it came to pass in the nineteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, that Alma came unto his son Helaman and said unto him: Believest thou the words which I spake unto thee concerning those records which have been kept?

Alma 45:5
And he said: Yea, I believe all the words which thou hast spoken.

Alma 45:12
Yea, and this because they shall dwindle in unbelief and fall into the works of darkness, and lasciviousness, and all manner of iniquities; yea, I say unto you, that because they shall sin against so great light and knowledge, yea, I say unto you, that from that day, even the fourth generation shall not all pass away before this great iniquity shall come.

Alma 45:15
And now it came to pass that after Alma had said these things to Helaman, he blessed him, and also his other sons; and he also blessed the earth for the righteous' sake.

Alma 45:16
And he said: Thus saith the Lord God-- Cursed shall be the land, yea, this land, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, unto destruction, which do wickedly, when they are fully ripe; and ass=hlgree>as I have said so shall it be; for this is the cursing and the blessing of God upon the land, for the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance.

Alma 45:17
And now, when Alma had said these words he blessed the church, yea, all those who should stand fast in the faith from that time henceforth.

Alma 45:18
And when Alma had done this he departed out of the land of Zarahemla, ass=hlgree>as if to go into the land of Melek. And it came to pass that he wass=hlblue>as never heard of more; ass=hlgree>as to his death or burial we know not of.

Alma 45:19
Behold, this we know, that he wass=hlblue>as a righteous man; and the saying went abroad in the church that he wass=hlblue>as taken up by the Spirit, or buried by the hand of the Lord, even ass=hlgree>as Moses. But behold, the scriptures saith the Lord took Moses unto himself; and we suppose that he hass=hlblue>as also received Alma in the spirit, unto himself; therefore, for this cause we know nothing concerning his death and burial.

Alma 45:20
And now it came to pass in the commencement of the nineteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, that Helaman went forth among the people to declare the word unto them.

Alma 45:22
Therefore, Helaman and his brethren went forth to establish the church again in all the land, yea, in every city throughout all the land which wass=hlblue>as possessed by the people of Nephi. And it came to pass that they did appoint priests and teachers throughout all the land, over all the churches.

Alma 45:23
And now it came to pass that after Helaman and his brethren had appointed priests and teachers over the churches that there arose a dissension among them, and they would not give heed to the words of Helaman and his brethren;

Alma 46:1
And it came to pass that ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as would not hearken to the words of Helaman and his brethren were gathered together against their brethren.

Alma 46:3
Now the leader of those who were wroth against their brethren wass=hlblue>as a large and a strong man; and his name wass=hlblue>as Amalickiah.

Alma 46:4
And Amalickiah wass=hlblue>as desirous to be a king; and those people who were wroth were also desirous that he should be their king; and they were the greater part of them the lower judges of the land, and they were seeking for power.

Alma 46:10
Yea, we see that Amalickiah, because he wass=hlblue>as a man of cunning device and a man of many flattering words, that he led away the hearts of many people to do wickedly; yea, and to seek to destroy the church of God, and to destroy the foundation of liberty which God had granted unto them, or which blessing God had sent upon the face of the land for the righteous' sake.

Alma 46:11
And now it came to pass that when Moroni, who wass=hlblue>as the chief commander of the armies of the Nephites, had heard of these dissensions, he wass=hlblue>as angry with Amalickiah.

Alma 46:12
And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it-- In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children-- and he fastened it upon the end of a pole.

Alma 46:13
And he fastened on his head-plate, and his breastplate, and his shields, and girded on his armor about his loins; and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coat, (and he called it the title of liberty) and he bowed himself to the earth, and he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren, so long ass=hlgree>as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land--

Alma 46:15
And those who did belong to the church were faithful; yea, all those who were true believers in Christ took upon them, gladly, the name of Christ, or Christians ass=hlgree>as they were called, because of their belief in Christ who should come.

Alma 46:17
And it came to pass that when he had poured out his soul to God, he named all the land which wass=hlblue>as south of the land Desolation, yea, and in fine, all the land, both on the north and on the south-- A chosen land, and the land of liberty.

Alma 46:21
And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words, behold, the people came running together with their armor girded about their loins, rending their garments in token, or ass=hlgree>as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God; or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God, or fall into transgression, and be ass=hlblue>ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ, the Lord should rend them even ass=hlgree>as they had rent their garments.

Alma 46:22
Now this wass=hlblue>as the covenant which they made, and they cast their garments at the feet of Moroni, saying: We covenant with our God, that we shall be destroyed, even ass=hlgree>as our brethren in the land northward, if we shall fall into transgression; yea, he may cast us at the feet of our enemies, even ass=hlgree>as we have cast our garments at thy feet to be trodden under foot, if we shall fall into transgression.

Alma 46:23
Moroni said unto them: Behold, we are a remnant of the seed of Jacob; yea, we are a remnant of the seed of Joseph, whose coat wass=hlblue>as rent by his brethren into many pieces; yea, and now behold, let us remember to keep the commandments of God, or our garments shall be rent by our brethren, and we be cast into prison, or be sold, or be slain.

Alma 46:24
Yea, let us preserve our liberty ass=hlgree>as a remnant of Joseph; yea, let us remember the words of Jacob, before his death, for behold, he saw that a part of the remnant of the coat of Joseph wass=hlblue>as preserved and had not decayed. And he said-- Even ass=hlgree>as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved, so shall a remnant of the seed of my son be preserved by the hand of God, and be taken unto himself, while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish, even ass=hlgree>as the remnant of his garment.

Alma 46:26
Now behold, this wass=hlblue>as the language of Jacob.

Alma 46:27
And now who knoweth but what the remnant of the seed of Joseph, which shall perish ass=hlgree>as his garment, are those who have dissented from us? Yea, and even it shall be ourselves if we do not stand fast in the faith of Christ.

Alma 46:28
And now it came to pass that when Moroni had said these words he went forth, and also sent forth in all the parts of the land where there were dissensions, and gathered together all the people who were desirous to maintain their liberty, to stand against Amalickiah and those who had dissented, who were called Amalickiahites.

Alma 46:29
And it came to pass that when Amalickiah saw that the people of Moroni were more numerous than the Amalickiahites-- and he also saw that his people were doubtful concerning the justice of the cause in which they had undertaken-- therefore, fearing that he should not gain the point, he took those of his people who would and departed into the land of Nephi.

Alma 46:30
Now Moroni thought it wass=hlblue>as not expedient that the Lamanites should have any more strength; therefore he thought to cut off the people of Amalickiah, or to take them and bring them back, and put Amalickiah to death; yea, for he knew that he would stir up the Lamanites to anger against them, and cause them to come to battle against them; and this he knew that Amalickiah would do that he might obtain his purposes.

Alma 46:31
Therefore Moroni thought it wass=hlblue>as expedient that he should take his armies, who had gathered themselves together, and armed themselves, and entered into a covenant to keep the peace-- and it came to pass that he took his army and marched out with his tents into the wilderness, to cut off the course of Amalickiah in the wilderness.

Alma 46:32
And it came to pass that he did according to his desires, and marched forth into the wilderness, and headed the armies of Amalickiah.

Alma 46:33
And it came to pass that Amalickiah fled with a small number of his men, and the remainder were delivered up into the hands of Moroni and were taken back into the land of Zarahemla.

Alma 46:34
Now, Moroni being a man who wass=hlblue>as appointed by the chief judges and the voice of the people, therefore he had power according to his will with the armies of the Nephites, to establish and to exercise authority over them.

Alma 46:35
And it came to pass that whomsoever of the Amalickiahites that would not enter into a covenant to support the cause of freedom, that they might maintain a free government, he caused to be put to death; and there were but few who denied the covenant of freedom.

Alma 46:36
And it came to pass also, that he caused the title of liberty to be hoisted upon every tower which wass=hlblue>as in all the land, which wass=hlblue>as possessed by the Nephites; and thus Moroni planted the standard of liberty among the Nephites.

Alma 46:39
And it came to pass that there were many who died, firmly believing that their souls were redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ; thus they went out of the world rejoicing.

Alma 46:40
And there were some who died with fevers, which at some seasons of the year were very frequent in the land-- but not so much so with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots which God had prepared to remove the cause of diseases, to which men were subject by the nature of the climate--

Alma 46:41
But there were many who died with old age; and those who died in the faith of Christ are happy in him, ass=hlgree>as we must needs suppose.

Alma 47:2
And it came to pass that when the proclamation had gone forth among them they were exceedingly afraid; yea, they feared to displease the king, and they also feared to go to battle against the Nephites lest they should lose their lives. And it came to pass that they would not, or the more part of them would not, obey the commandments of the king.

Alma 47:3
And now it came to pass that the king wass=hlblue>as wroth because of their disobedience; therefore he gave Amalickiah the command of that part of his army which wass=hlblue>as obedient unto his commands, and commanded him that he should go forth and compel them to arms.

Alma 47:4
Now behold, this wass=hlblue>as the desire of Amalickiah; for he being a very subtle man to do evil therefore he laid the plan in his heart to dethrone the king of the Lamanites.

Alma 47:5
And now he had got the command of those parts of the Lamanites who were in favor of the king; and he sought to gain favor of those who were not obedient; therefore he went forward to the place which wass=hlblue>as called Onidah, for thither had all the Lamanites fled; for they discovered the army coming, and, supposing that they were coming to destroy them, therefore they fled to Onidah, to the place of arms.

Alma 47:7
And it came to pass that they had gathered themselves together upon the top of the mount which wass=hlblue>as called Antipass=hlblue>as, in preparation to battle.

Alma 47:8
Now it wass=hlblue>as not Amalickiah's intention to give them battle according to the commandments of the king; but behold, it wass=hlblue>as his intention to gain favor with the armies of the Lamanites, that he might place himself at their head and dethrone the king and take possession of the kingdom.

Alma 47:9
And behold, it came to pass that he caused his army to pitch their tents in the valley which wass=hlblue>as near the mount Antipass=hlblue>as.

Alma 47:10
And it came to pass that when it wass=hlblue>as night he sent a secret embassy into the mount Antipass=hlblue>as, desiring that the leader of those who were upon the mount, whose name wass=hlblue>as Lehonti, that he should come down to the foot of the mount, for he desired to speak with him.

Alma 47:11
And it came to pass that when Lehonti received the message he durst not go down to the foot of the mount. And it came to pass that Amalickiah sent again the second time, desiring him to come down. And it came to pass that Lehonti would not; and he sent again the third time.

Alma 47:12
And it came to pass that when Amalickiah found that he could not get Lehonti to come down off from the mount, he went up into the mount, nearly to Lehonti's camp; and he sent again the fourth time his message unto Lehonti, desiring that he would come down, and that he would bring his guards with him.

Alma 47:13
And it came to pass that when Lehonti had come down with his guards to Amalickiah, that Amalickiah desired him to come down with his army in the night-time, and surround those men in their camps over whom the king had given him command, and that he would deliver them up into Lehonti's hands, if he would make him (Amalickiah) a second leader over the whole army.

Alma 47:14
And it came to pass that Lehonti came down with his men and surrounded the men of Amalickiah, so that before they awoke at the dawn of day they were surrounded by the armies of Lehonti.

Alma 47:15
And it came to pass that when they saw that they were surrounded, they pled with Amalickiah that he would suffer them to fall in with their brethren, that they might not be destroyed. Now this wass=hlblue>as the very thing which Amalickiah desired.

Alma 47:16
And it came to pass that he delivered his men, contrary to the commands of the king. Now this wass=hlblue>as the thing that Amalickiah desired, that he might accomplish his designs in dethroning the king.

Alma 47:17
Now it wass=hlblue>as the custom among the Lamanites, if their chief leader wass=hlblue>as killed, to appoint the second leader to be their chief leader.

Alma 47:18
And it came to pass that Amalickiah caused that one of his servants should administer poison by degrees to Lehonti, that he died.

Alma 47:19
Now, when Lehonti wass=hlblue>as dead, the Lamanites appointed Amalickiah to be their leader and their chief commander.

Alma 47:20
And it came to pass that Amalickiah marched with his armies (for he had gained his desires) to the land of Nephi, to the city of Nephi, which wass=hlblue>as the chief city.

Alma 47:22
But behold, ass=hlgree>as the king came out to meet him Amalickiah caused that his servants should go forth to meet the king. And they went and bowed themselves before the king, ass=hlgree>as if to reverence him because of his greatness.

Alma 47:23
And it came to pass that the king put forth his hand to raise them, ass=hlgree>as wass=hlblue>as the custom with the Lamanites, ass=hlgree>as a token of peace, which custom they had taken from the Nephites.

Alma 47:24
And it came to pass that when he had raised the first from the ground, behold he stabbed the king to the heart; and he fell to the earth.

Alma 47:26
Behold, the servants of the king have stabbed him to the heart, and he hass=hlblue>as fallen and they have fled; behold, come and see.

Alma 47:27
And it came to pass that Amalickiah commanded that his armies should march forth and see what had happened to the king; and when they had come to the spot, and found the king lying in his gore, Amalickiah pretended to be wroth, and said: Whosoever loved the king, let him go forth, and pursue his servants that they may be slain.

Alma 47:28
And it came to pass that all they who loved the king, when they heard these words, came forth and pursued after the servants of the king.

Alma 47:31
And it came to pass on the morrow he entered the city Nephi with his armies, and took possession of the city.

Alma 47:32
And now it came to pass that the queen, when she had heard that the king wass=hlblue>as slain-- for Amalickiah had sent an embassy to the queen informing her that the king had been slain by his servants, that he had pursued them with his army, but it wass=hlblue>as in vain, and they had made their escape--

Alma 47:34
And it came to pass that Amalickiah took the same servant that slew the king, and all them who were with him, and went in unto the queen, unto the place where she sat; and they all testified unto her that the king wass=hlblue>as slain by his own servants; and they said also: They have fled; does not this testify against them? And thus they satisfied the queen concerning the death of the king.

Alma 47:35
And it came to pass that Amalickiah sought the favor of the queen, and took her unto him to wife; and thus by his fraud, and by the ass=hlblue>assistance of his cunning servants, he obtained the kingdom; yea, he wass=hlblue>as acknowledged king throughout all the land, among all the people of the Lamanites, who were composed of the Lamanites and the Lemuelites and the Ishmaelites, and all the dissenters of the Nephites, from the reign of Nephi down to the present time.

Alma 47:36
Now these dissenters, having the same instruction and the same information of the Nephites, yea, having been instructed in the same knowledge of the Lord, nevertheless, it is strange to relate, not long after their dissensions they became more hardened and impenitent, and more wild, wicked and ferocious than the Lamanites-- drinking in with the traditions of the Lamanites; giving way to indolence, and all manner of lasciviousness; yea, entirely forgetting the Lord their God.

Alma 48:1
And now it came to pass that, ass=hlgree>as soon ass=hlgree>as Amalickiah had obtained the kingdom he began to inspire the hearts of the Lamanites against the people of Nephi; yea, he did appoint men to speak unto the Lamanites from their towers, against the Nephites.

Alma 48:2
And thus he did inspire their hearts against the Nephites, insomuch that in the latter end of the nineteenth year of the reign of the judges, he having accomplished his designs thus far, yea, having been made king over the Lamanites, he sought also to reign over all the land, yea, and all the people who were in the land, the Nephites ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as the Lamanites.

Alma 48:4
For he wass=hlblue>as determined, because of the greatness of the number of his people, to overpower the Nephites and to bring them into bondage.

Alma 48:6
And it came to pass that they took their camp, and moved forth toward the land of Zarahemla in the wilderness.

Alma 48:7
Now it came to pass that while Amalickiah had thus been obtaining power by fraud and deceit, Moroni, on the other hand, had been preparing the minds of the people to be faithful unto the Lord their God.

Alma 48:9
And in their weakest fortifications he did place the greater number of men; and thus he did fortify and strengthen the land which wass=hlblue>as possessed by the Nephites.

Alma 48:10
And thus he wass=hlblue>as preparing to support their liberty, their lands, their wives, and their children, and their peace, and that they might live unto the Lord their God, and that they might maintain that which wass=hlblue>as called by their enemies the cause of Christians.

Alma 48:11
And Moroni wass=hlblue>as a strong and a mighty man; he wass=hlblue>as a man of a perfect understanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery;

Alma 48:13
Yea, and he wass=hlblue>as a man who wass=hlblue>as firm in the faith of Christ, and he had sworn with an oath to defend his people, his rights, and his country, and his religion, even to the loss of his blood.

Alma 48:15
And this wass=hlblue>as their faith, that by so doing God would prosper them in the land, or in other words, if they were faithful in keeping the commandments of God that he would prosper them in the land; yea, warn them to flee, or to prepare for war, according to their danger;

Alma 48:16
And also, that God would make it known unto them whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies, and by so doing, the Lord would deliver them; and this wass=hlblue>as the faith of Moroni, and his heart did glory in it; not in the shedding of blood but in doing good, in preserving his people, yea, in keeping the commandments of God, yea, and resisting iniquity.

Alma 48:18
Behold, he wass=hlblue>as a man like unto Ammon, the son of Mosiah, yea, and even the other sons of Mosiah, yea, and also Alma and his sons, for they were all men of God.

Alma 48:19
Now behold, Helaman and his brethren were no less serviceable unto the people than wass=hlblue>as Moroni; for they did preach the word of God, and they did baptize unto repentance all men whosoever would hearken unto their words.

Alma 48:21
But, ass=hlgree>as I have said, in the latter end of the nineteenth year, yea, notwithstanding their peace amongst themselves, they were compelled reluctantly to contend with their brethren, the Lamanites.

Alma 48:22
Yea, and in fine, their wars never did cease for the space of many years with the Lamanites, notwithstanding their much reluctance.

Alma 48:23
Now, they were sorry to take up arms against the Lamanites, because they did not delight in the shedding of blood; yea, and this wass=hlblue>as not all-- they were sorry to be the means of sending so many of their brethren out of this world into an eternal world, unprepared to meet their God.

Alma 48:24
Nevertheless, they could not suffer to lay down their lives, that their wives and their children should be massacred by the barbarous cruelty of those who were once their brethren, yea, and had dissented from their church, and had left them and had gone to destroy them by joining the Lamanites.

Alma 48:25
Yea, they could not bear that their brethren should rejoice over the blood of the Nephites, so long ass=hlgree>as there were any who should keep the commandments of God, for the promise of the Lord wass=hlblue>as, if they should keep his commandments they should prosper in the land.

Alma 49:1
And now it came to pass in the eleventh month of the nineteenth year, on the tenth day of the month, the armies of the Lamanites were seen approaching towards the land of Ammonihah.

Alma 49:2
And behold, the city had been rebuilt, and Moroni had stationed an army by the borders of the city, and they had cast up dirt round about to shield them from the arrows and the stones of the Lamanites; for behold, they fought with stones and with arrows.

Alma 49:3
Behold, I said that the city of Ammonihah had been rebuilt. I say unto you, yea, that it wass=hlblue>as in part rebuilt; and because the Lamanites had destroyed it once because of the iniquity of the people, they supposed that it would again become an easy prey for them.

Alma 49:4
But behold, how great wass=hlblue>as their disappointment; for behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them, which wass=hlblue>as so high that the Lamanites could not cast their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect, neither could they come upon them save it wass=hlblue>as by their place of entrance.

Alma 49:5
Now at this time the chief captains of the Lamanites were ass=hlblue>astonished exceedingly, because of the wisdom of the Nephites in preparing their places of security.

Alma 49:6
Now the leaders of the Lamanites had supposed, because of the greatness of their numbers, yea, they supposed that they should be privileged to come upon them ass=hlgree>as they had hitherto done; yea, and they had also prepared themselves with shields, and with breastplates; and they had also prepared themselves with garments of skins, yea, very thick garments to cover their nakedness.

Alma 49:7
And being thus prepared they supposed that they should easily overpower and subject their brethren to the yoke of bondage, or slay and massacre them according to their pleasure.

Alma 49:8
But behold, to their uttermost ass=hlblue>astonishment, they were prepared for them, in a manner which never had been known among the children of Lehi. Now they were prepared for the Lamanites, to battle after the manner of the instructions of Moroni.

Alma 49:9
And it came to pass that the Lamanites, or the Amalickiahites, were exceedingly ass=hlblue>astonished at their manner of preparation for war.

Alma 49:14
But behold, to their ass=hlblue>astonishment, the city of Noah, which had hitherto been a weak place, had now, by the means of Moroni, become strong, yea, even to exceed the strength of the city Ammonihah.

Alma 49:15
And now, behold, this wass=hlblue>as wisdom in Moroni; for he had supposed that they would be frightened at the city Ammonihah; and ass=hlgree>as the city of Noah had hitherto been the weakest part of the land, therefore they would march thither to battle; and thus it wass=hlblue>as according to his desires.

Alma 49:16
And behold, Moroni had appointed Lehi to be chief captain over the men of that city; and it wass=hlblue>as that same Lehi who fought with the Lamanites in the valley on the east of the river Sidon.

Alma 49:17
And now behold it came to pass, that when the Lamanites had found that Lehi commanded the city they were again disappointed, for they feared Lehi exceedingly; nevertheless their chief captains had sworn with an oath to attack the city; therefore, they brought up their armies.

Alma 49:19
And thus were the Nephites prepared to destroy all such ass=hlgree>as should attempt to climb up to enter the fort by any other way, by casting over stones and arrows at them.

Alma 49:21
And it came to pass that the captains of the Lamanites brought up their armies before the place of entrance, and began to contend with the Nephites, to get into their place of security; but behold, they were driven back from time to time, insomuch that they were slain with an immense slaughter.

Alma 49:22
Now when they found that they could not obtain power over the Nephites by the pass, they began to dig down their banks of earth that they might obtain a pass to their armies, that they might have an equal chance to fight; but behold, in these attempts they were swept off by the stones and arrows which were thrown at them; and instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth, they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.

Alma 49:23
Thus the Nephites had all power over their enemies; and thus the Lamanites did attempt to destroy the Nephites until their chief captains were all slain; yea, and more than a thousand of the Lamanites were slain; while, on the other hand, there wass=hlblue>as not a single soul of the Nephites which wass=hlblue>as slain.

Alma 49:24
There were about fifty who were wounded, who had been exposed to the arrows of the Lamanites through the pass, but they were shielded by their shields, and their breastplates, and their head-plates, insomuch that their wounds were upon their legs, many of which were very severe.

Alma 49:25
And it came to pass, that when the Lamanites saw that their chief captains were all slain they fled into the wilderness. And it came to pass that they returned to the land of Nephi, to inform their king, Amalickiah, who wass=hlblue>as a Nephite by birth, concerning their great loss.

Alma 49:26
And it came to pass that he wass=hlblue>as exceedingly angry with his people, because he had not obtained his desire over the Nephites; he had not subjected them to the yoke of bondage.

Alma 49:27
Yea, he wass=hlblue>as exceedingly wroth, and he did curse God, and also Moroni, swearing with an oath that he would drink his blood; and this because Moroni had kept the commandments of God in preparing for the safety of his people.

Alma 49:28
And it came to pass, that on the other hand, the people of Nephi did thank the Lord their God, because of his matchless power in delivering them from the hands of their enemies.

Alma 49:30
Yea, and there wass=hlblue>as continual peace among them, and exceedingly great prosperity in the church because of their heed and diligence which they gave unto the word of God, which wass=hlblue>as declared unto them by Helaman, and Shiblon, and Corianton, and Ammon and his brethren, yea, and by all those who had been ordained by the holy order of God, being baptized unto repentance, and sent forth to preach among the people.

Alma 50:1
And now it came to pass that Moroni did not stop making preparations for war, or to defend his people against the Lamanites; for he caused that his armies should commence in the commencement of the twentieth year of the reign of the judges, that they should commence in digging up heaps of earth round about all the cities, throughout all the land which wass=hlblue>as possessed by the Nephites.

Alma 50:5
And they were prepared that they could cast stones from the top thereof, according to their pleasure and their strength, and slay him who should attempt to approach near the walls of the city.

Alma 50:7
And it came to pass that Moroni caused that his armies should go forth into the east wilderness; yea, and they went forth and drove all the Lamanites who were in the east wilderness into their own lands, which were south of the land of Zarahemla.

Alma 50:8
And the land of Nephi did run in a straight course from the east sea to the west.

Alma 50:9
And it came to pass that when Moroni had driven all the Lamanites out of the east wilderness, which wass=hlblue>as north of the lands of their own possessions, he caused that the inhabitants who were in the land of Zarahemla and in the land round about should go forth into the east wilderness, even to the borders by the seashore, and possess the land.

Alma 50:11
And thus he cut off all the strongholds of the Lamanites in the east wilderness, yea, and also on the west, fortifying the line between the Nephites and the Lamanites, between the land of Zarahemla and the land of Nephi, from the west sea, running by the head of the river Sidon-- the Nephites possessing all the land northward, yea, even all the land which wass=hlblue>as northward of the land Bountiful, according to their pleasure.

Alma 50:12
Thus Moroni, with his armies, which did increase daily because of the ass=hlblue>assurance of protection which his works did bring forth unto them, did seek to cut off the strength and the power of the Lamanites from off the lands of their possessions, that they should have no power upon the lands of their possession.

Alma 50:13
And it came to pass that the Nephites began the foundation of a city, and they called the name of the city Moroni; and it wass=hlblue>as by the east sea; and it wass=hlblue>as on the south by the line of the possessions of the Lamanites.

Alma 50:15
And they also began in that same year to build many cities on the north, one in a particular manner which they called Lehi, which wass=hlblue>as in the north by the borders of the seashore.

Alma 50:20
Blessed art thou and thy children; and they shall be blessed, inasmuch ass=hlgree>as they shall keep my commandments they shall prosper in the land. But remember, inasmuch ass=hlgree>as they will not keep my commandments they shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Alma 50:21
And we see that these promises have been verified to the people of Nephi; for it hass=hlblue>as been their quarrelings and their contentions, yea, their murderings, and their plunderings, their idolatry, their whoredoms, and their abominations, which were among themselves, which brought upon them their wars and their destructions.

Alma 50:23
But behold there never wass=hlblue>as a happier time among the people of Nephi, since the days of Nephi, than in the days of Moroni, yea, even at this time, in the twenty and first year of the reign of the judges.

Alma 50:24
And it came to pass that the twenty and second year of the reign of the judges also ended in peace; yea, and also the twenty and third year.

Alma 50:25
And it came to pass that in the commencement of the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the judges, there would also have been peace among the people of Nephi had it not been for a contention which took place among them concerning the land of Lehi, and the land of Morianton, which joined upon the borders of Lehi; both of which were on the borders by the seashore.

Alma 50:27
But behold, the people who possessed the land of Lehi fled to the camp of Moroni, and appealed unto him for ass=hlblue>assistance; for behold they were not in the wrong.

Alma 50:28
And it came to pass that when the people of Morianton, who were led by a man whose name wass=hlblue>as Morianton, found that the people of Lehi had fled to the camp of Moroni, they were exceedingly fearful lest the army of Moroni should come upon them and destroy them.

Alma 50:29
Therefore, Morianton put it into their hearts that they should flee to the land which wass=hlblue>as northward, which wass=hlblue>as covered with large bodies of water, and take possession of the land which wass=hlblue>as northward.

Alma 50:30
And behold, they would have carried this plan into effect, (which would have been a cause to have been lamented) but behold, Morianton being a man of much passion, therefore he wass=hlblue>as angry with one of his maid servants, and he fell upon her and beat her much.

Alma 50:31
And it came to pass that she fled, and came over to the camp of Moroni, and told Moroni all things concerning the matter, and also concerning their intentions to flee into the land northward.

Alma 50:34
And it came to pass that they did not head them until they had come to the borders of the land Desolation; and there they did head them, by the narrow pass which led by the sea into the land northward, yea, by the sea, on the west and on the east.

Alma 50:35
And it came to pass that the army which wass=hlblue>as sent by Moroni, which wass=hlblue>as led by a man whose name wass=hlblue>as Teancum, did meet the people of Morianton; and so stubborn were the people of Morianton, (being inspired by his wickedness and his flattering words) that a battle commenced between them, in the which Teancum did slay Morianton and defeat his army, and took them prisoners, and returned to the camp of Moroni. And thus ended the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.

Alma 50:37
And it came to pass that in the same year that the people of Nephi had peace restored unto them, that Nephihah, the second chief judge, died, having filled the judgment-seat with perfect uprightness before God.

Alma 50:39
Behold, it came to pass that the son of Nephihah wass=hlblue>as appointed to fill the judgment-seat, in the stead of his father; yea, he wass=hlblue>as appointed chief judge and governor over the people, with an oath and sacred ordinance to judge righteously, and to keep the peace and the freedom of the people, and to grant unto them their sacred privileges to worship the Lord their God, yea, to support and maintain the cause of God all his days, and to bring the wicked to justice according to their crime.

Alma 50:40
Now behold, his name wass=hlblue>as Pahoran. And Pahoran did fill the seat of his father, and did commence his reign in the end of the twenty and fourth year, over the people of Nephi.

Alma 51:1
And now it came to pass in the commencement of the twenty and fifth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, they having established peace between the people of Lehi and the people of Morianton concerning their lands, and having commenced the twenty and fifth year in peace;

Alma 51:5
And it came to pass that those who were desirous that Pahoran should be dethroned from the judgment-seat were called king-men, for they were desirous that the law should be altered in a manner to overthrow the free government and to establish a king over the land.

Alma 51:6
And those who were desirous that Pahoran should remain chief judge over the land took upon them the name of freemen; and thus wass=hlblue>as the division among them, for the freemen had sworn or covenanted to maintain their rights and the privileges of their religion by a free government.

Alma 51:7
And it came to pass that this matter of their contention wass=hlblue>as settled by the voice of the people. And it came to pass that the voice of the people came in favor of the freemen, and Pahoran retained the judgment-seat, which caused much rejoicing among the brethren of Pahoran and also many of the people of liberty, who also put the king-men to silence, that they durst not oppose but were obliged to maintain the cause of freedom.

Alma 51:9
But behold, this wass=hlblue>as a critical time for such contentions to be among the people of Nephi; for behold, Amalickiah had again stirred up the hearts of the people of the Lamanites against the people of the Nephites, and he wass=hlblue>as gathering together soldiers from all parts of his land, and arming them, and preparing for war with all diligence; for he had sworn to drink the blood of Moroni.

Alma 51:10
But behold, we shall see that his promise which he made wass=hlblue>as rash; nevertheless, he did prepare himself and his armies to come to battle against the Nephites.

Alma 51:11
Now his armies were not so great ass=hlgree>as they had hitherto been, because of the many thousands who had been slain by the hand of the Nephites; but notwithstanding their great loss, Amalickiah had gathered together a wonderfully great army, insomuch that he feared not to come down to the land of Zarahemla.

Alma 51:12
Yea, even Amalickiah did himself come down, at the head of the Lamanites. And it wass=hlblue>as in the twenty and fifth year of the reign of the judges; and it wass=hlblue>as at the same time that they had begun to settle the affairs of their contentions concerning the chief judge, Pahoran.

Alma 51:13
And it came to pass that when the men who were called king-men had heard that the Lamanites were coming down to battle against them, they were glad in their hearts; and they refused to take up arms, for they were so wroth with the chief judge, and also with the people of liberty, that they would not take up arms to defend their country.

Alma 51:14
And it came to pass that when Moroni saw this, and also saw that the Lamanites were coming into the borders of the land, he wass=hlblue>as exceedingly wroth because of the stubbornness of those people whom he had labored with so much diligence to preserve; yea, he wass=hlblue>as exceedingly wroth; his soul wass=hlblue>as filled with anger against them.

Alma 51:15
And it came to pass that he sent a petition, with the voice of the people, unto the governor of the land, desiring that he should read it, and give him (Moroni) power to compel those dissenters to defend their country or to put them to death.

Alma 51:16
For it wass=hlblue>as his first care to put an end to such contentions and dissensions among the people; for behold, this had been hitherto a cause of all their destruction. And it came to pass that it wass=hlblue>as granted according to the voice of the people.

Alma 51:17
And it came to pass that Moroni commanded that his army should go against those king-men, to pull down their pride and their nobility and level them with the earth, or they should take up arms and support the cause of liberty.

Alma 51:18
And it came to pass that the armies did march forth against them; and they did pull down their pride and their nobility, insomuch that ass=hlgree>as they did lift their weapons of war to fight against the men of Moroni they were hewn down and leveled to the earth.

Alma 51:19
And it came to pass that there were four thousand of those dissenters who were hewn down by the sword; and those of their leaders who were not slain in battle were taken and cast into prison, for there wass=hlblue>as no time for their trials at this period.

Alma 51:22
Behold, it came to pass that while Moroni wass=hlblue>as thus breaking down the wars and contentions among his own people, and subjecting them to peace and civilization, and making regulations to prepare for war against the Lamanites, behold, the Lamanites had come into the land of Moroni, which wass=hlblue>as in the borders by the seashore.

Alma 51:23
And it came to pass that the Nephites were not sufficiently strong in the city of Moroni; therefore Amalickiah did drive them, slaying many. And it came to pass that Amalickiah took possession of the city, yea, possession of all their fortifications.

Alma 51:25
But it came to pass that Amalickiah would not suffer the Lamanites to go against the city of Nephihah to battle, but kept them down by the seashore, leaving men in every city to maintain and defend it.

Alma 51:26
And thus he went on, taking possession of many cities, the city of Nephihah, and the city of Lehi, and the city of Morianton, and the city of Omner, and the city of Gid, and the city of Mulek, all of which were on the east borders by the seashore.

Alma 51:28
And it came to pass that they marched to the borders of the land Bountiful, driving the Nephites before them and slaying many.

Alma 51:29
But it came to pass that they were met by Teancum, who had slain Morianton and had headed his people in his flight.

Alma 51:30
And it came to pass that he headed Amalickiah also, ass=hlgree>as he wass=hlblue>as marching forth with his numerous army that he might take possession of the land Bountiful, and also the land northward.

Alma 51:32
And it came to pass that they did harass them, insomuch that they did slay them even until it wass=hlblue>as dark. And it came to pass that Teancum and his men did pitch their tents in the borders of the land Bountiful; and Amalickiah did pitch his tents in the borders on the beach by the seashore, and after this manner were they driven.

Alma 51:33
And it came to pass that when the night had come, Teancum and his servant stole forth and went out by night, and went into the camp of Amalickiah; and behold, sleep had overpowered them because of their much fatigue, which wass=hlblue>as caused by the labors and heat of the day.

Alma 51:34
And it came to pass that Teancum stole privily into the tent of the king, and put a javelin to his heart; and he did cause the death of the king immediately that he did not awake his servants.

Alma 51:35
And he returned again privily to his own camp, and behold, his men were ass=hlblue>asleep, and he awoke them and told them all the things that he had done.

Alma 52:1
And now, it came to pass in the twenty and sixth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, behold, when the Lamanites awoke on the first morning of the first month, behold, they found Amalickiah wass=hlblue>as dead in his own tent; and they also saw that Teancum wass=hlblue>as ready to give them battle on that day.

Alma 52:3
And it came to pass that the brother of Amalickiah wass=hlblue>as appointed king over the people; and his name wass=hlblue>as Ammoron; thus king Ammoron, the brother of king Amalickiah, wass=hlblue>as appointed to reign in his stead.

Alma 52:4
And it came to pass that he did command that his people should maintain those cities, which they had taken by the shedding of blood; for they had not taken any cities save they had lost much blood.

Alma 52:5
And now, Teancum saw that the Lamanites were determined to maintain those cities which they had taken, and those parts of the land which they had obtained possession of; and also seeing the enormity of their number, Teancum thought it wass=hlblue>as not expedient that he should attempt to attack them in their forts.

Alma 52:6
But he kept his men round about, ass=hlgree>as if making preparations for war; yea, and truly he wass=hlblue>as preparing to defend himself against them, by casting up walls round about and preparing places of resort.

Alma 52:7
And it came to pass that he kept thus preparing for war until Moroni had sent a large number of men to strengthen his army.

Alma 52:8
And Moroni also sent orders unto him that he should retain all the prisoners who fell into his hands; for ass=hlgree>as the Lamanites had taken many prisoners, that he should retain all the prisoners of the Lamanites ass=hlgree>as a ransom for those whom the Lamanites had taken.

Alma 52:9
And he also sent orders unto him that he should fortify the land Bountiful, and secure the narrow pass which led into the land northward, lest the Lamanites should obtain that point and should have power to harass them on every side.

Alma 52:10
And Moroni also sent unto him, desiring him that he would be faithful in maintaining that quarter of the land, and that he would seek every opportunity to scourge the Lamanites in that quarter, ass=hlgree>as much ass=hlgree>as wass=hlblue>as in his power, that perhaps he might take again by stratagem or some other way those cities which had been taken out of their hands; and that he also would fortify and strengthen the cities round about, which had not fallen into the hands of the Lamanites.

Alma 52:13
And thus he wass=hlblue>as endeavoring to harass the Nephites, and to draw away a part of their forces to that part of the land, while he had commanded those whom he had left to possess the cities which he had taken, that they should also harass the Nephites on the borders by the east sea, and should take possession of their lands ass=hlgree>as much ass=hlgree>as it wass=hlblue>as in their power, according to the power of their armies.

Alma 52:15
But behold, it came to pass in the twenty and seventh year of the reign of the judges, that Teancum, by the command of Moroni-- who had established armies to protect the south and the west borders of the land, and had begun his march towards the land Bountiful, that he might ass=hlblue>assist Teancum with his men in retaking the cities which they had lost--

Alma 52:16
And it came to pass that Teancum had received orders to make an attack upon the city of Mulek, and retake it if it were possible.

Alma 52:17
And it came to pass that Teancum made preparations to make an attack upon the city of Mulek, and march forth with his army against the Lamanites; but he saw that it wass=hlblue>as impossible that he could overpower them while they were in their fortifications; therefore he abandoned his designs and returned again to the city Bountiful, to wait for the coming of Moroni, that he might receive strength to his army.

Alma 52:18
And it came to pass that Moroni did arrive with his army at the land of Bountiful, in the latter end of the twenty and seventh year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.

Alma 52:20
And it came to pass they sent embassies to the army of the Lamanites, which protected the city of Mulek, to their leader, whose name wass=hlblue>as Jacob, desiring him that he would come out with his armies to meet them upon the plains between the two cities. But behold, Jacob, who wass=hlblue>as a Zoramite, would not come out with his army to meet them upon the plains.

Alma 52:21
And it came to pass that Moroni, having no hopes of meeting them upon fair grounds, therefore, he resolved upon a plan that he might decoy the Lamanites out of their strongholds.

Alma 52:22
Therefore he caused that Teancum should take a small number of men and march down near the seashore; and Moroni and his army, by night, marched in the wilderness, on the west of the city Mulek; and thus, on the morrow, when the guards of the Lamanites had discovered Teancum, they ran and told it unto Jacob, their leader.

Alma 52:23
And it came to pass that the armies of the Lamanites did march forth against Teancum, supposing by their numbers to overpower Teancum because of the smallness of his numbers. And ass=hlgree>as Teancum saw the armies of the Lamanites coming out against him he began to retreat down by the seashore, northward.

Alma 52:24
And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that he began to flee, they took courage and pursued them with vigor. And while Teancum wass=hlblue>as thus leading away the Lamanites who were pursuing them in vain, behold, Moroni commanded that a part of his army who were with him should march forth into the city, and take possession of it.

Alma 52:27
And it came to pass that the Lamanites did pursue Teancum until they came near the city Bountiful, and then they were met by Lehi and a small army, which had been left to protect the city Bountiful.

Alma 52:29
Now the Lamanites did not know that Moroni had been in their rear with his army; and all they feared wass=hlblue>as Lehi and his men.

Alma 52:30
Now Lehi wass=hlblue>as not desirous to overtake them till they should meet Moroni and his army.

Alma 52:31
And it came to pass that before the Lamanites had retreated far they were surrounded by the Nephites, by the men of Moroni on one hand, and the men of Lehi on the other, all of whom were fresh and full of strength; but the Lamanites were wearied because of their long march.

Alma 52:33
And it came to pass that Jacob, being their leader, being also a Zoramite, and having an unconquerable spirit, he led the Lamanites forth to battle with exceeding fury against Moroni.

Alma 52:34
Moroni being in their course of march, therefore Jacob wass=hlblue>as determined to slay them and cut his way through to the city of Mulek. But behold, Moroni and his men were more powerful; therefore they did not give way before the Lamanites.

Alma 52:35
And it came to pass that they fought on both hands with exceeding fury; and there were many slain on both sides; yea, and Moroni wass=hlblue>as wounded and Jacob wass=hlblue>as killed.

Alma 52:38
And it came to pass that when the Lamanites had heard these words, their chief captains, all those who were not slain, came forth and threw down their weapons of war at the feet of Moroni, and also commanded their men that they should do the same.

Alma 53:1
And it came to pass that they did set guards over the prisoners of the Lamanites, and did compel them to go forth and bury their dead, yea, and also the dead of the Nephites who were slain; and Moroni placed men over them to guard them while they should perform their labors.

Alma 53:2
And Moroni went to the city of Mulek with Lehi, and took command of the city and gave it unto Lehi. Now behold, this Lehi wass=hlblue>as a man who had been with Moroni in the more part of all his battles; and he wass=hlblue>as a man like unto Moroni, and they rejoiced in each other's safety; yea, they were beloved by each other, and also beloved by all the people of Nephi.

Alma 53:3
And it came to pass that after the Lamanites had finished burying their dead and also the dead of the Nephites, they were marched back into the land Bountiful; and Teancum, by the orders of Moroni, caused that they should commence laboring in digging a ditch round about the land, or the city, Bountiful.

Alma 53:4
And he caused that they should build a breastwork of timbers upon the inner bank of the ditch; and they cast up dirt out of the ditch against the breastwork of timbers; and thus they did cause the Lamanites to labor until they had encircled the city of Bountiful round about with a strong wall of timbers and earth, to an exceeding height.

Alma 53:5
And this city became an exceeding stronghold ever after; and in this city they did guard the prisoners of the Lamanites; yea, even within a wall which they had caused them to build with their own hands. Now Moroni wass=hlblue>as compelled to cause the Lamanites to labor, because it wass=hlblue>as easy to guard them while at their labor; and he desired all his forces when he should make an attack upon the Lamanites.

Alma 53:6
And it came to pass that Moroni had thus gained a victory over one of the greatest of the armies of the Lamanites, and had obtained possession of the city of Mulek, which wass=hlblue>as one of the strongest holds of the Lamanites in the land of Nephi; and thus he had also built a stronghold to retain his prisoners.

Alma 53:7
And it came to pass that he did no more attempt a battle with the Lamanites in that year, but he did employ his men in preparing for war, yea, and in making fortifications to guard against the Lamanites, yea, and also delivering their women and their children from famine and affliction, and providing food for their armies.

Alma 53:8
And now it came to pass that the armies of the Lamanites, on the west sea, south, while in the absence of Moroni on account of some intrigue amongst the Nephites, which caused dissensions amongst them, had gained some ground over the Nephites, yea, insomuch that they had obtained possession of a number of their cities in that part of the land.

Alma 53:13
But it came to pass that when they saw the danger, and the many afflictions and tribulations which the Nephites bore for them, they were moved with compassion and were desirous to take up arms in the defence of their country.

Alma 53:14
But behold, ass=hlgree>as they were about to take their weapons of war, they were overpowered by the persuasions of Helaman and his brethren, for they were about to break the oath which they had made.

Alma 53:16
But behold, it came to pass they had many sons, who had not entered into a covenant that they would not take their weapons of war to defend themselves against their enemies; therefore they did ass=hlblue>assemble themselves together at this time, ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as were able to take up arms, and they called themselves Nephites.

Alma 53:17
And they entered into a covenant to fight for the liberty of the Nephites, yea, to protect the land unto the laying down of their lives; yea, even they covenanted that they never would give up their liberty, but they would fight in all cases to protect the Nephites and themselves from bondage.

Alma 53:19
And now behold, ass=hlgree>as they never had hitherto been a disadvantage to the Nephites, they became now at this period of time also a great support; for they took their weapons of war, and they would that Helaman should be their leader.

Alma 53:20
And they were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold, this wass=hlblue>as not all-- they were men who were true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted.

Alma 53:22
And now it came to pass that Helaman did march at the head of his two thousand stripling soldiers, to the support of the people in the borders of the land on the south by the west sea.

Alma 54:1
And now it came to pass in the commencement of the twenty and ninth year of the judges, that Ammoron sent unto Moroni desiring that he would exchange prisoners.

Alma 54:2
And it came to pass that Moroni felt to rejoice exceedingly at this request, for he desired the provisions which were imparted for the support of the Lamanite prisoners for the support of his own people; and he also desired his own people for the strengthening of his army.

Alma 54:3
Now the Lamanites had taken many women and children, and there wass=hlblue>as not a woman nor a child among all the prisoners of Moroni, or the prisoners whom Moroni had taken; therefore Moroni resolved upon a stratagem to obtain ass=hlgree>as many prisoners of the Nephites from the Lamanites ass=hlgree>as it were possible.

Alma 54:7
Yea, I would tell you these things if ye were capable of hearkening unto them; yea, I would tell you concerning that awful hell that awaits to receive such murderers ass=hlgree>as thou and thy brother have been, except ye repent and withdraw your murderous purposes, and return with your armies to your own lands.

Alma 54:8
But ass=hlgree>as ye have once rejected these things, and have fought against the people of the Lord, even so I may expect you will do it again.

Alma 54:10
But, ass=hlgree>as the Lord liveth, our armies shall come upon you except ye withdraw, and ye shall soon be visited with death, for we will retain our cities and our lands; yea, and we will maintain our religion and the cause of our God.

Alma 54:11
But behold, it supposeth me that I talk to you concerning these things in vain; or it supposeth me that thou art a child of hell; therefore I will close my epistle by telling you that I will not exchange prisoners, save it be on conditions that ye will deliver up a man and his wife and his children, for one prisoner; if this be the case that ye will do it, I will exchange.

Alma 54:15
Now it came to pass that Ammoron, when he had received this epistle, wass=hlblue>as angry; and he wrote another epistle unto Moroni, and these are the words which he wrote, saying:

Alma 54:21
And ass=hlgree>as concerning that God whom ye say we have rejected, behold, we know not such a being; neither do ye; but if it so be that there is such a being, we know not but that he hath made us ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as you.

Alma 55:1
Now it came to pass that when Moroni had received this epistle he wass=hlblue>as more angry, because he knew that Ammoron had a perfect knowledge of his fraud; yea, he knew that Ammoron knew that it wass=hlblue>as not a just cause that had caused him to wage a war against the people of Nephi.

Alma 55:2
And he said: Behold, I will not exchange prisoners with Ammoron save he will withdraw his purpose, ass=hlgree>as I have stated in my epistle; for I will not grant unto him that he shall have any more power than what he hath got.

Alma 55:3
Behold, I know the place where the Lamanites do guard my people whom they have taken prisoners; and ass=hlgree>as Ammoron would not grant unto me mine epistle, behold, I will give unto him according to my words; yea, I will seek death among them until they shall sue for peace.

Alma 55:4
And now it came to pass that when Moroni had said these words, he caused that a search should be made among his men, that perhaps he might find a man who wass=hlblue>as a descendant of Laman among them.

Alma 55:5
And it came to pass that they found one, whose name wass=hlblue>as Laman; and he wass=hlblue>as one of the servants of the king who wass=hlblue>as murdered by Amalickiah.

Alma 55:8
And when it wass=hlblue>as evening Laman went to the guards who were over the Nephites, and behold, they saw him coming and they hailed him; but he saith unto them: Fear not; behold, I am a Lamanite. Behold, we have escaped from the Nephites, and they sleep; and behold we have taken of their wine and brought with us.

Alma 55:13
And it came to pass that they did take of the wine freely; and it wass=hlblue>as pleasant to their taste, therefore they took of it more freely; and it wass=hlblue>as strong, having been prepared in its strength.

Alma 55:14
And it came to pass they did drink and were merry, and by and by they were all drunken.

Alma 55:16
And now this wass=hlblue>as according to the design of Moroni. And Moroni had prepared his men with weapons of war; and he went to the city Gid, while the Lamanites were in a deep sleep and drunken, and cast in weapons of war unto the prisoners, insomuch that they were all armed;

Alma 55:17
Yea, even to their women, and all those of their children, ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as were able to use a weapon of war, when Moroni had armed all those prisoners; and all those things were done in a profound silence.

Alma 55:19
But behold, this wass=hlblue>as not the desire of Moroni; he did not delight in murder or bloodshed, but he delighted in the saving of his people from destruction; and for this cause he might not bring upon him injustice, he would not fall upon the Lamanites and destroy them in their drunkenness.

Alma 55:22
Now behold this wass=hlblue>as done in the night-time, so that when the Lamanites awoke in the morning they beheld that they were surrounded by the Nephites without, and that their prisoners were armed within.

Alma 55:23
And thus they saw that the Nephites had power over them; and in these circumstances they found that it wass=hlblue>as not expedient that they should fight with the Nephites; therefore their chief captains demanded their weapons of war, and they brought them forth and cast them at the feet of the Nephites, pleading for mercy.

Alma 55:24
Now behold, this wass=hlblue>as the desire of Moroni. He took them prisoners of war, and took possession of the city, and caused that all the prisoners should be liberated, who were Nephites; and they did join the army of Moroni, and were a great strength to his army.

Alma 55:25
And it came to pass that he did cause the Lamanites, whom he had taken prisoners, that they should commence a labor in strengthening the fortifications round about the city Gid.

Alma 55:26
And it came to pass that when he had fortified the city Gid, according to his desires, he caused that his prisoners should be taken to the city Bountiful; and he also guarded that city with an exceedingly strong force.

Alma 55:27
And it came to pass that they did, notwithstanding all the intrigues of the Lamanites, keep and protect all the prisoners whom they had taken, and also maintain all the ground and the advantage which they had retaken.

Alma 55:28
And it came to pass that the Nephites began again to be victorious, and to reclaim their rights and their privileges.

Alma 55:33
And now it came to pass that it wass=hlblue>as expedient for Moroni to make preparations to attack the city Morianton; for behold, the Lamanites had, by their labors, fortified the city Morianton until it had become an exceeding stronghold.

Alma 56:1
And now it came to pass in the commencement of the thirtieth year of the reign of the judges, on the second day in the first month, Moroni received an epistle from Helaman, stating the affairs of the people in that quarter of the land.

Alma 56:2
And these are the words which he wrote, saying: My dearly beloved brother, Moroni, ass=hlgree>as well in the Lord ass=hlgree>as in the tribulations of our warfare; behold, my beloved brother, I have somewhat to tell you concerning our warfare in this part of the land.

Alma 56:3
Behold, two thousand of the sons of those men whom Ammon brought down out of the land of Nephi-- now ye have known that these were descendants of Laman, who wass=hlblue>as the eldest son of our father Lehi;

Alma 56:9
But behold, here is one thing in which we may have great joy. For behold, in the twenty and sixth year, I, Helaman, did march at the head of these two thousand young men to the city of Judea, to ass=hlblue>assist Antipus, whom ye had appointed a leader over the people of that part of the land.

Alma 56:10
And I did join my two thousand sons, (for they are worthy to be called sons) to the army of Antipus, in which strength Antipus did rejoice exceedingly; for behold, his army had been reduced by the Lamanites because their forces had slain a vast number of our men, for which cause we have to mourn.

Alma 56:16
Yea, and they were depressed in body ass=hlgree>as well ass=hlgree>as in spirit, for they had fought valiantly by day and toiled by night to maintain their cities; and thus they had suffered great afflictions of every kind.

Alma 56:18
And now it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that Antipus had received a greater strength to his army, they were compelled by the orders of Ammoron to not come against the city of Judea, or against us, to battle.

Alma 56:22
And it came to pass that we kept spies out round about, to watch the movements of the Lamanites, that they might not pass us by night nor by day to make an attack upon our other cities which were on the northward.

Alma 56:23
For we knew in those cities they were not sufficiently strong to meet them; therefore we were desirous, if they should pass by us, to fall upon them in their rear, and thus bring them up in the rear at the same time they were met in the front. We supposed that we could overpower them; but behold, we were disappointed in this our desire.

Alma 56:24
They durst not pass by us with their whole army, neither durst they with a part, lest they should not be sufficiently strong and they should fall.

Alma 56:27
And now it came to pass in the second month of this year, there wass=hlblue>as brought unto us many provisions from the fathers of those my two thousand sons.

Alma 56:29
And the Lamanites, thus seeing our forces increase daily, and provisions arrive for our support, they began to be fearful, and began to sally forth, if it were possible to put an end to our receiving provisions and strength.

Alma 56:30
Now when we saw that the Lamanites began to grow uneasy on this wise, we were desirous to bring a stratagem into effect upon them; therefore Antipus ordered that I should march forth with my little sons to a neighboring city, ass=hlgree>as if we were carrying provisions to a neighboring city.

Alma 56:31
And we were to march near the city of Antiparah, ass=hlgree>as if we were going to the city beyond, in the borders by the seashore.

Alma 56:32
And it came to pass that we did march forth, ass=hlgree>as if with our provisions, to go to that city.

Alma 56:33
And it came to pass that Antipus did march forth with a part of his army, leaving the remainder to maintain the city. But he did not march forth until I had gone forth with my little army, and came near the city Antiparah.

Alma 56:35
And it came to pass that when they had been informed by their spies, they came forth with their army and marched against us.

Alma 56:36
And it came to pass that we did flee before them, northward. And thus we did lead away the most powerful army of the Lamanites;

Alma 56:37
Yea, even to a considerable distance, insomuch that when they saw the army of Antipus pursuing them, with their might, they did not turn to the right nor to the left, but pursued their march in a straight course after us; and, ass=hlgree>as we suppose, it wass=hlblue>as their intent to slay us before Antipus should overtake them, and this that they might not be surrounded by our people.

Alma 56:38
And now Antipus, beholding our danger, did speed the march of his army. But behold, it wass=hlblue>as night; therefore they did not overtake us, neither did Antipus overtake them; therefore we did camp for the night.

Alma 56:39
And it came to pass that before the dawn of the morning, behold, the Lamanites were pursuing us. Now we were not sufficiently strong to contend with them; yea, I would not suffer that my little sons should fall into their hands; therefore we did continue our march, and we took our march into the wilderness.

Alma 56:40
Now they durst not turn to the right nor to the left lest they should be surrounded; neither would I turn to the right nor to the left lest they should overtake me, and we could not stand against them, but be slain, and they would make their escape; and thus we did flee all that day into the wilderness, even until it wass=hlblue>as dark.

Alma 56:41
And it came to pass that again, when the light of the morning came we saw the Lamanites upon us, and we did flee before them.

Alma 56:42
But it came to pass that they did not pursue us far before they halted; and it wass=hlblue>as in the morning of the third day of the seventh month.

Alma 56:46
For ass=hlgree>as I had ever called them my sons (for they were all of them very young) even so they said unto me: Father, behold our God is with us, and he will not suffer that we should fall; then let us go forth; we would not slay our brethren if they would let us alone; therefore let us go, lest they should overpower the army of Antipus.

Alma 56:49
And it came to pass that I did return with my two thousand against these Lamanites who had pursued us. And now behold, the armies of Antipus had overtaken them, and a terrible battle had commenced.

Alma 56:51
For Antipus had fallen by the sword, and many of his leaders, because of their weariness, which wass=hlblue>as occasioned by the speed of their march-- therefore the men of Antipus, being confused because of the fall of their leaders, began to give way before the Lamanites.

Alma 56:52
And it came to pass that the Lamanites took courage, and began to pursue them; and thus were the Lamanites pursuing them with great vigor when Helaman came upon their rear with his two thousand, and began to slay them exceedingly, insomuch that the whole army of the Lamanites halted and turned upon Helaman.

Alma 56:54
And now it came to pass that we, the people of Nephi, the people of Antipus, and I with my two thousand, did surround the Lamanites, and did slay them; yea, insomuch that they were compelled to deliver up their weapons of war and also themselves ass=hlgree>as prisoners of war.

Alma 56:55
And now it came to pass that when they had surrendered themselves up unto us, behold, I numbered those young men who had fought with me, fearing lest there were many of them slain.

Alma 56:56
But behold, to my great joy, there had not one soul of them fallen to the earth; yea, and they had fought ass=hlgree>as if with the strength of God; yea, never were men known to have fought with such miraculous strength; and with such mighty power did they fall upon the Lamanites, that they did frighten them; and for this cause did the Lamanites deliver themselves up ass=hlgree>as prisoners of war.

Alma 56:57
And ass=hlgree>as we had no place for our prisoners, that we could guard them to keep them from the armies of the Lamanites, therefore we sent them to the land of Zarahemla, and a part of those men who were not slain of Antipus, with them; and the remainder I took and joined them to my stripling Ammonites, and took our march back to the city of Judea.

Alma 57:1
And now it came to pass that I received an epistle from Ammoron, the king, stating that if I would deliver up those prisoners of war whom we had taken that he would deliver up the city of Antiparah unto us.

Alma 57:6
And it came to pass that in the commencement of the twenty and ninth year, we received a supply of provisions, and also an addition to our army, from the land of Zarahemla, and from the land round about, to the number of six thousand men, besides sixty of the sons of the Ammonites who had come to join their brethren, my little band of two thousand. And now behold, we were strong, yea, and we had also plenty of provisions brought unto us.

Alma 57:7
And it came to pass that it wass=hlblue>as our desire to wage a battle with the army which wass=hlblue>as placed to protect the city Cumeni.

Alma 57:9
And it came to pass that we did camp round about the city for many nights; but we did sleep upon our swords, and keep guards, that the Lamanites could not come upon us by night and slay us, which they attempted many times; but ass=hlgree>as many times ass=hlgree>as they attempted this their blood wass=hlblue>as spilt.

Alma 57:12
And it came to pass that not many days had passed away before the Lamanites began to lose all hopes of succor; therefore they yielded up the city unto our hands; and thus we had accomplished our designs in obtaining the city Cumeni.

Alma 57:13
But it came to pass that our prisoners were so numerous that, notwithstanding the enormity of our numbers, we were obliged to employ all our force to keep them, or to put them to death.

Alma 57:17
But it came to pass that on the morrow they did return. And now behold, we did not inquire of them concerning the prisoners; for behold, the Lamanites were upon us, and they returned in season to save us from falling into their hands. For behold, Ammoron had sent to their support a new supply of provisions and also a numerous army of men.

Alma 57:18
And it came to pass that those men whom we sent with the prisoners did arrive in season to check them, ass=hlgree>as they were about to overpower us.

Alma 57:20
And ass=hlgree>as the remainder of our army were about to give way before the Lamanites, behold, those two thousand and sixty were firm and undaunted.

Alma 57:21
Yea, and they did obey and observe to perform every word of command with exactness; yea, and even according to their faith it wass=hlblue>as done unto them; and I did remember the words which they said unto me that their mothers had taught them.

Alma 57:22
And now behold, it wass=hlblue>as these my sons, and those men who had been selected to convey the prisoners, to whom we owe this great victory; for it wass=hlblue>as they who did beat the Lamanites; therefore they were driven back to the city of Manti.

Alma 57:24
And it came to pass that after the Lamanites had fled, I immediately gave orders that my men who had been wounded should be taken from among the dead, and caused that their wounds should be dressed.

Alma 57:25
And it came to pass that there were two hundred, out of my two thousand and sixty, who had fainted because of the loss of blood; nevertheless, according to the goodness of God, and to our great ass=hlblue>astonishment, and also the joy of our whole army, there wass=hlblue>as not one soul of them who did perish; yea, and neither wass=hlblue>as there one soul among them who had not received many wounds.

Alma 57:26
And now, their preservation wass=hlblue>as ass=hlblue>astonishing to our whole army, yea, that they should be spared while there wass=hlblue>as a thousand of our brethren who were slain. And we do justly ass=hlblue>ascribe it to the miraculous power of God, because of their exceeding faith in that which they had been taught to believe-- that there wass=hlblue>as a just God, and whosoever did not doubt, that they should be preserved by his marvelous power.

Alma 57:27
Now this wass=hlblue>as the faith of these of whom I have spoken; they are young, and their minds are firm, and they do put their trust in God continually.

Alma 57:28
And now it came to pass that after we had thus taken care of our wounded men, and had buried our dead and also the dead of the Lamanites, who were many, behold, we did inquire of Gid concerning the prisoners whom they had started to go down to the land of Zarahemla with.

Alma 57:29
Now Gid wass=hlblue>as the chief captain over the band who wass=hlblue>as appointed to guard them down to the land.

Alma 57:30
And now, these are the words which Gid said unto me: Behold, we did start to go down to the land of Zarahemla with our prisoners. And it came to pass that we did meet the spies of our armies, who had been sent out to watch the camp of the Lamanites.

Alma 57:32
And it came to pass that our prisoners did hear their cries, which caused them to take courage; and they did rise up in rebellion against us.

Alma 57:33
And it came to pass because of their rebellion we did cause that our swords should come upon them. And it came to pass that they did in a body run upon our swords, in the which, the greater number of them were slain; and the remainder of them broke through and fled from us.

Alma 57:34
And behold, when they had fled and we could not overtake them, we took our march with speed towards the city Cumeni; and behold, we did arrive in time that we might ass=hlblue>assist our brethren in preserving the city.

Alma 57:35
And behold, we are again delivered out of the hands of our enemies. And blessed is the name of our God; for behold, it is he that hass=hlblue>as delivered us; yea, that hass=hlblue>as done this great thing for us.

Alma 57:36
Now it came to pass that when I, Helaman, had heard these words of Gid, I wass=hlblue>as filled with exceeding joy because of the goodness of God in preserving us, that we might not all perish; yea, and I trust that the souls of them who have been slain have entered into the rest of their God.

Alma 58:1
And behold, now it came to pass that our next object wass=hlblue>as to obtain the city of Manti; but behold, there wass=hlblue>as no way that we could lead them out of the city by our small bands. For behold, they remembered that which we had hitherto done; therefore we could not decoy them away from their strongholds.

Alma 58:2
And they were so much more numerous than wass=hlblue>as our army that we durst not go forth and attack them in their strongholds.

Alma 58:4
And it came to pass that I thus did send an embassy to the governor of our land, to acquaint him concerning the affairs of our people. And it came to pass that we did wait to receive provisions and strength from the land of Zarahemla.

Alma 58:7
And it came to pass that we did wait in these difficult circumstances for the space of many months, even until we were about to perish for the want of food.

Alma 58:8
But it came to pass that we did receive food, which wass=hlblue>as guarded to us by an army of two thousand men to our ass=hlblue>assistance; and this is all the ass=hlblue>assistance which we did receive, to defend ourselves and our country from falling into the hands of our enemies, yea, to contend with an enemy which wass=hlblue>as innumerable.

Alma 58:9
And now the cause of these our embarrassments, or the cause why they did not send more strength unto us, we knew not; therefore we were grieved and also filled with fear, lest by any means the judgments of God should come upon our land, to our overthrow and utter destruction.

Alma 58:11
Yea, and it came to pass that the Lord our God did visit us with ass=hlblue>assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in him.

Alma 58:13
And thus we did go forth with all our might against the Lamanites, who were in the city of Manti; and we did pitch our tents by the wilderness side, which wass=hlblue>as near to the city.

Alma 58:14
And it came to pass that on the morrow, that when the Lamanites saw that we were in the borders by the wilderness which wass=hlblue>as near the city, that they sent out their spies round about us that they might discover the number and the strength of our army.

Alma 58:15
And it came to pass that when they saw that we were not strong, according to our numbers, and fearing that we should cut them off from their support except they should come out to battle against us and kill us, and also supposing that they could easily destroy us with their numerous hosts, therefore they began to make preparations to come out against us to battle.

Alma 58:18
And it came to pass that the Lamanites did come out with their numerous army against us. And when they had come and were about to fall upon us with the sword, I caused that my men, those who were with me, should retreat into the wilderness.

Alma 58:19
And it came to pass that the Lamanites did follow after us with great speed, for they were exceedingly desirous to overtake us that they might slay us; therefore they did follow us into the wilderness; and we did pass by in the midst of Gid and Teomner, insomuch that they were not discovered by the Lamanites.

Alma 58:20
And it came to pass that when the Lamanites had passed by, or when the army had passed by, Gid and Teomner did rise up from their secret places, and did cut off the spies of the Lamanites that they should not return to the city.

Alma 58:21
And it came to pass that when they had cut them off, they ran to the city and fell upon the guards who were left to guard the city, insomuch that they did destroy them and did take possession of the city.

Alma 58:22
Now this wass=hlblue>as done because the Lamanites did suffer their whole army, save a few guards only, to be led away into the wilderness.

Alma 58:23
And it came to pass that Gid and Teomner by this means had obtained possession of their strongholds. And it came to pass that we took our course, after having traveled much in the wilderness towards the land of Zarahemla.

Alma 58:24
And when the Lamanites saw that they were marching towards the land of Zarahemla, they were exceedingly afraid, lest there wass=hlblue>as a plan laid to lead them on to destruction; therefore they began to retreat into the wilderness again, yea, even back by the same way which they had come.

Alma 58:25
And behold, it wass=hlblue>as night and they did pitch their tents, for the chief captains of the Lamanites had supposed that the Nephites were weary because of their march; and supposing that they had driven their whole army therefore they took no thought concerning the city of Manti.

Alma 58:26
Now it came to pass that when it wass=hlblue>as night, I caused that my men should not sleep, but that they should march forward by another way towards the land of Manti.

Alma 58:28
And thus it came to pass, that by this stratagem we did take possession of the city of Manti without the shedding of blood.

Alma 58:29
And it came to pass that when the armies of the Lamanites did arrive near the city, and saw that we were prepared to meet them, they were ass=hlblue>astonished exceedingly and struck with great fear, insomuch that they did flee into the wilderness.

Alma 58:30
Yea, and it came to pass that the armies of the Lamanites did flee out of all this quarter of the land. But behold, they have carried with them many women and children out of the land.

Alma 58:33
But behold, we trust in our God who hass=hlblue>as given us victory over those lands, insomuch that we have obtained those cities and those lands, which were our own.

Alma 58:36
And if it is not so, behold, we fear that there is some faction in the government, that they do not send more men to our ass=hlblue>assistance; for we know that they are more numerous than that which they have sent.

Alma 58:39
And those sons of the people of Ammon, of whom I have so highly spoken, are with me in the city of Manti; and the Lord hass=hlblue>as supported them, yea, and kept them from falling by the sword, insomuch that even one soul hass=hlblue>as not been slain.

Alma 58:40
But behold, they have received many wounds; nevertheless they stand fast in that liberty wherewith God hass=hlblue>as made them free; and they are strict to remember the Lord their God from day to day; yea, they do observe to keep his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments continually; and their faith is strong in the prophecies concerning that which is to come.

Alma 58:41
And now, my beloved brother, Moroni, may the Lord our God, who hass=hlblue>as redeemed us and made us free, keep you continually in his presence; yea, and may he favor this people, even that ye may have success in obtaining the possession of all that which the Lamanites have taken from us, which wass=hlblue>as for our support. And now, behold, I close mine epistle. I am Helaman, the son of Alma.

Alma 59:1
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, after Moroni had received and had read Helaman's epistle, he wass=hlblue>as exceedingly rejoiced because of the welfare, yea, the exceeding success which Helaman had had, in obtaining those lands which were lost.

Alma 59:2
Yea, and he did make it known unto all his people, in all the land round about in that part where he wass=hlblue>as, that they might rejoice also.

Alma 59:3
And it came to pass that he immediately sent an epistle to Pahoran, desiring that he should cause men to be gathered together to strengthen Helaman, or the armies of Helaman, insomuch that he might with ease maintain that part of the land which he had been so miraculously prospered in regaining.

Alma 59:4
And it came to pass when Moroni had sent this epistle to the land of Zarahemla, he began again to lay a plan that he might obtain the remainder of those possessions and cities which the Lamanites had taken from them.

Alma 59:5
And it came to pass that while Moroni wass=hlblue>as thus making preparations to go against the Lamanites to battle, behold, the people of Nephihah, who were gathered together from the city of Moroni and the city of Lehi and the city of Morianton, were attacked by the Lamanites.

Alma 59:9
And now ass=hlgree>as Moroni had supposed that there should be men sent to the city of Nephihah, to the ass=hlblue>assistance of the people to maintain that city, and knowing that it wass=hlblue>as easier to keep the city from falling into the hands of the Lamanites than to retake it from them, he supposed that they would easily maintain that city.

Alma 59:11
And now, when Moroni saw that the city of Nephihah wass=hlblue>as lost he wass=hlblue>as exceedingly sorrowful, and began to doubt, because of the wickedness of the people, whether they should not fall into the hands of their brethren.

Alma 59:12
Now this wass=hlblue>as the case with all his chief captains. They doubted and marveled also because of the wickedness of the people, and this because of the success of the Lamanites over them.

Alma 59:13
And it came to pass that Moroni wass=hlblue>as angry with the government, because of their indifference concerning the freedom of their country.

Alma 60:1
And it came to pass that he wrote again to the governor of the land, who wass=hlblue>as Pahoran, and these are the words which he wrote, saying: Behold, I direct mine epistle to Pahoran, in the city of Zarahemla, who is the chief judge and the governor over the land, and also to all those who have been chosen by this people to govern and manage the affairs of this war.

Alma 60:5
But behold, great hass=hlblue>as been the slaughter among our people; yea, thousands have fallen by the sword, while it might have otherwise been if ye had rendered unto our armies sufficient strength and succor for them. Yea, great hass=hlblue>as been your neglect towards us.

Alma 60:16
Yea, had it not been for the war which broke out among ourselves; yea, were it not for these king-men, who caused so much bloodshed among ourselves; yea, at the time we were contending among ourselves, if we had united our strength ass=hlgree>as we hitherto have done; yea, had it not been for the desire of power and authority which those king-men had over us; had they been true to the cause of our freedom, and united with us, and gone forth against our enemies, instead of taking up their swords against us, which wass=hlblue>as the cause of so much bloodshed among ourselves; yea, if we had gone forth against them in the strength of the Lord, we should have dispersed our enemies, for it would have been done, according to the fulfilling of his word.

Alma 60:21
Or do ye suppose that the Lord will still deliver us, while we sit upon our thrones and do not make use of the means which the Lord hass=hlblue>as provided for us?

Alma 60:23
Do ye suppose that God will look upon you ass=hlgree>as guiltless while ye sit still and behold these things? Behold I say unto you, Nay. Now I would that ye should remember that God hass=hlblue>as said that the inward vessel shall be cleansed first, and then shall the outer vessel be cleansed also.

Alma 60:24
And now, except ye do repent of that which ye have done, and begin to be up and doing, and send forth food and men unto us, and also unto Helaman, that he may support those parts of our country which he hass=hlblue>as regained, and that we may also recover the remainder of our possessions in these parts, behold it will be expedient that we contend no more with the Lamanites until we have first cleansed our inward vessel, yea, even the great head of our government.

Alma 60:27
And I will come unto you, and if there be any among you that hass=hlblue>as a desire for freedom, yea, if there be even a spark of freedom remaining, behold I will stir up insurrections among you, even until those who have desires to usurp power and authority shall become extinct.

Alma 60:30
Behold, I wait for ass=hlblue>assistance from you; and, except ye do administer unto our relief, behold, I come unto you, even in the land of Zarahemla, and smite you with the sword, insomuch that ye can have no more power to impede the progress of this people in the cause of our freedom.

Alma 60:32
Behold, can you suppose that the Lord will spare you and come out in judgment against the Lamanites, when it is the tradition of their fathers that hass=hlblue>as caused their hatred, yea, and it hass=hlblue>as been redoubled by those who have dissented from us, while your iniquity is for the cause of your love of glory and the vain things of the world?

Alma 61:1
Behold, now it came to pass that soon after Moroni had sent his epistle unto the chief governor, he received an epistle from Pahoran, the chief governor. And these are the words which he received:

Alma 61:5
And behold, they have driven me out before them, and I have fled to the land of Gideon, with ass=hlgree>as many men ass=hlgree>as it were possible that I could get.

Alma 61:9
And now, in your epistle you have censured me, but it mattereth not; I am not angry, but do rejoice in the greatness of your heart. I, Pahoran, do not seek for power, save only to retain my judgment-seat that I may preserve the rights and the liberty of my people. My soul standeth fast in that liberty in the which God hath made us free.

Alma 61:14
Therefore, my beloved brother, Moroni, let us resist evil, and whatsoever evil we cannot resist with our words, yea, such ass=hlgree>as rebellions and dissensions, let us resist them with our swords, that we may retain our freedom, that we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church, and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God.

Alma 61:19
And now, Moroni, I do joy in receiving your epistle, for I wass=hlblue>as somewhat worried concerning what we should do, whether it should be just in us to go against our brethren.

Alma 61:21
See that ye strengthen Lehi and Teancum in the Lord; tell them to fear not, for God will deliver them, yea, and also all those who stand fast in that liberty wherewith God hath made them free. And now I close mine epistle to my beloved brother, Moroni.

Alma 62:1
And now it came to pass that when Moroni had received this epistle his heart did take courage, and wass=hlblue>as filled with exceedingly great joy because of the faithfulness of Pahoran, that he wass=hlblue>as not also a traitor to the freedom and cause of his country.

Alma 62:3
And it came to pass that Moroni took a small number of men, according to the desire of Pahoran, and gave Lehi and Teancum command over the remainder of his army, and took his march towards the land of Gideon.

Alma 62:5
And it came to pass that thousands did flock unto his standard, and did take up their swords in the defence of their freedom, that they might not come into bondage.

Alma 62:6
And thus, when Moroni had gathered together whatsoever men he could in all his march, he came to the land of Gideon; and uniting his forces with those of Pahoran they became exceedingly strong, even stronger than the men of Pachus, who wass=hlblue>as the king of those dissenters who had driven the freemen out of the land of Zarahemla and had taken possession of the land.

Alma 62:7
And it came to pass that Moroni and Pahoran went down with their armies into the land of Zarahemla, and went forth against the city, and did meet the men of Pachus, insomuch that they did come to battle.

Alma 62:8
And behold, Pachus wass=hlblue>as slain and his men were taken prisoners, and Pahoran wass=hlblue>as restored to his judgment-seat.

Alma 62:9
And the men of Pachus received their trial, according to the law, and also those king-men who had been taken and cast into prison; and they were executed according to the law; yea, those men of Pachus and those king-men, whosoever would not take up arms in the defence of their country, but would fight against it, were put to death.

Alma 62:10
And thus it became expedient that this law should be strictly observed for the safety of their country; yea, and whosoever wass=hlblue>as found denying their freedom wass=hlblue>as speedily executed according to the law.

Alma 62:12
And it came to pass in the commencement of the thirty and first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, Moroni immediately caused that provisions should be sent, and also an army of six thousand men should be sent unto Helaman, to ass=hlblue>assist him in preserving that part of the land.

Alma 62:13
And he also caused that an army of six thousand men, with a sufficient quantity of food, should be sent to the armies of Lehi and Teancum. And it came to pass that this wass=hlblue>as done to fortify the land against the Lamanites.

Alma 62:14
And it came to pass that Moroni and Pahoran, leaving a large body of men in the land of Zarahemla, took their march with a large body of men towards the land of Nephihah, being determined to overthrow the Lamanites in that city.

Alma 62:15
And it came to pass that ass=hlgree>as they were marching towards the land, they took a large body of men of the Lamanites, and slew many of them, and took their provisions and their weapons of war.

Alma 62:16
And it came to pass after they had taken them, they caused them to enter into a covenant that they would no more take up their weapons of war against the Nephites.

Alma 62:18
And it came to pass that when they had sent them away they pursued their march towards the land of Nephihah. And it came to pass that when they had come to the city of Nephihah, they did pitch their tents in the plains of Nephihah, which is near the city of Nephihah.

Alma 62:19
Now Moroni wass=hlblue>as desirous that the Lamanites should come out to battle against them, upon the plains; but the Lamanites, knowing of their exceedingly great courage, and beholding the greatness of their numbers, therefore they durst not come out against them; therefore they did not come to battle in that day.

Alma 62:21
And it came to pass that they were on the east, by the entrance; and they were all ass=hlblue>asleep. And now Moroni returned to his army, and caused that they should prepare in haste strong cords and ladders, to be let down from the top of the wall into the inner part of the wall.

Alma 62:22
And it came to pass that Moroni caused that his men should march forth and come upon the top of the wall, and let themselves down into that part of the city, yea, even on the west, where the Lamanites did not camp with their armies.

Alma 62:23
And it came to pass that they were all let down into the city by night, by the means of their strong cords and their ladders; thus when the morning came they were all within the walls of the city.

Alma 62:24
And now, when the Lamanites awoke and saw that the armies of Moroni were within the walls, they were affrighted exceedingly, insomuch that they did flee out by the pass.

Alma 62:25
And now when Moroni saw that they were fleeing before him, he did cause that his men should march forth against them, and slew many, and surrounded many others, and took them prisoners; and the remainder of them fled into the land of Moroni, which wass=hlblue>as in the borders by the seashore.

Alma 62:27
Now it came to pass that many of the Lamanites that were prisoners were desirous to join the people of Ammon and become a free people.

Alma 62:28
And it came to pass that ass=hlgree>as many ass=hlgree>as were desirous, unto them it wass=hlblue>as granted according to their desires.

Alma 62:30
Now it came to pass that Moroni, after he had obtained possession of the city of Nephihah, having taken many prisoners, which did reduce the armies of the Lamanites exceedingly, and having regained many of the Nephites who had been taken prisoners, which did strengthen the army of Moroni exceedingly; therefore Moroni went forth from the land of Nephihah to the land of Lehi.

Alma 62:31
And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that Moroni wass=hlblue>as coming against them, they were again frightened and fled before the army of Moroni.

Alma 62:32
And it came to pass that Moroni and his army did pursue them from city to city, until they were met by Lehi and Teancum; and the Lamanites fled from Lehi and Teancum, even down upon the borders by the seashore, until they came to the land of Moroni.

Alma 62:33
And the armies of the Lamanites were all gathered together, insomuch that they were all in one body in the land of Moroni. Now Ammoron, the king of the Lamanites, wass=hlblue>as also with them.

Alma 62:34
And it came to pass that Moroni and Lehi and Teancum did encamp with their armies round about in the borders of the land of Moroni, insomuch that the Lamanites were encircled about in the borders by the wilderness on the south, and in the borders by the wilderness on the east.

Alma 62:35
And thus they did encamp for the night. For behold, the Nephites and the Lamanites also were weary because of the greatness of the march; therefore they did not resolve upon any stratagem in the night-time, save it were Teancum; for he wass=hlblue>as exceedingly angry with Ammoron, insomuch that he considered that Ammoron, and Amalickiah his brother, had been the cause of this great and lasting war between them and the Lamanites, which had been the cause of so much war and bloodshed, yea, and so much famine.

Alma 62:36
And it came to pass that Teancum in his anger did go forth into the camp of the Lamanites, and did let himself down over the walls of the city. And he went forth with a cord, from place to place, insomuch that he did find the king; and he did cast a javelin at him, which did pierce him near the heart. But behold, the king did awaken his servants before he died, insomuch that they did pursue Teancum, and slew him.

Alma 62:37
Now it came to pass that when Lehi and Moroni knew that Teancum wass=hlblue>as dead they were exceedingly sorrowful; for behold, he had been a man who had fought valiantly for his country, yea, a true friend to liberty; and he had suffered very many exceedingly sore afflictions. But behold, he wass=hlblue>as dead, and had gone the way of all the earth.

Alma 62:38
Now it came to pass that Moroni marched forth on the morrow, and came upon the Lamanites, insomuch that they did slay them with a great slaughter; and they did drive them out of the land; and they did flee, even that they did not return at that time against the Nephites.

Alma 62:42
And it came to pass that after Moroni had fortified those parts of the land which were most exposed to the Lamanites, until they were sufficiently strong, he returned to the city of Zarahemla; and also Helaman returned to the place of his inheritance; and there wass=hlblue>as once more peace established among the people of Nephi.

Alma 62:43
And Moroni yielded up the command of his armies into the hands of his son, whose name wass=hlblue>as Moronihah; and he retired to his own house that he might spend the remainder of his days in peace.

Alma 62:46
And it came to pass that they did establish again the church of God, throughout all the land.

Alma 62:52
And it came to pass that all these things were done. And Helaman died, in the thirty and fifth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.

Alma 63:1
And it came to pass in the commencement of the thirty and sixth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, that Shiblon took possession of those sacred things which had been delivered unto Helaman by Alma.

Alma 63:2
And he wass=hlblue>as a just man, and he did walk uprightly before God; and he did observe to do good continually, to keep the commandments of the Lord his God; and also did his brother.

Alma 63:3
And it came to pass that Moroni died also. And thus ended the thirty and sixth year of the reign of the judges.

Alma 63:4
And it came to pass that in the thirty and seventh year of the reign of the judges, there wass=hlblue>as a large company of men, even to the amount of five thousand and four hundred men, with their wives and their children, departed out of the land of Zarahemla into the land which wass=hlblue>as northward.

Alma 63:5
And it came to pass that Hagoth, he being an exceedingly curious man, therefore he went forth and built him an exceedingly large ship, on the borders of the land Bountiful, by the land Desolation, and launched it forth into the west sea, by the narrow neck which led into the land northward.

Alma 63:8
And it came to pass that they were never heard of more. And we suppose that they were drowned in the depths of the sea. And it came to pass that one other ship also did sail forth; and whither she did go we know not.

Alma 63:9
And it came to pass that in this year there were many people who went forth into the land northward. And thus ended the thirty and eighth year.

Alma 63:10
And it came to pass in the thirty and ninth year of the reign of the judges, Shiblon died also, and Corianton had gone forth to the land northward in a ship, to carry forth provisions unto the people who had gone forth into that land.

Alma 63:11
Therefore it became expedient for Shiblon to confer those sacred things, before his death, upon the son of Helaman, who wass=hlblue>as called Helaman, being called after the name of his father.

Alma 63:14
And it came to pass also in this year that there were some dissenters who had gone forth unto the Lamanites; and they were stirred up again to anger against the Nephites.

Alma 63:17
And thus ended the account of Alma, and Helaman his son, and also Shiblon, who wass=hlblue>as his son.
