Mosiah 26:7

And it came to pass that they were brought before the priests,

and delivered up unto the priests by the teachers;

and the priests brought them before Alma, who was the high priest.

Mosiah 26:8

Now king Mosiah had given Alma the authority over the church.

Mosiah 26:9

And it came to pass that Alma did not know concerning them;

but there were many witnesses against them;

yea, the people stood and testified of their iniquity in abundance.

Mosiah 26:10

Now there had not any such thing happened before in the church;

therefore Alma was troubled in his spirit,

and he caused that they should be brought before the king.

Mosiah 26:11

And he said unto the king:

Behold, here are many whom we have brought before thee,

who are accused of their brethren;

yea, and they have been taken in divers iniquities.

And they do not repent of their iniquities;

therefore we have brought them before thee,

that thou mayest judge them according to their crimes.

Mosiah 26:12

But king Mosiah said unto Alma:

Behold, I judge them not;

therefore I deliver them into thy hands to be judged.

Mosiah 26:13

And now the spirit of Alma was again troubled;

and he went and inquired of the Lord what he should do concerning this matter,

for he feared that he should do wrong in the sight of God.

Mosiah 26:14

And it came to pass that after he had poured out his whole soul to God,

the voice of the Lord came to him, saying:

Mosiah 26:15

Blessed art thou, Alma,

and blessed are they who were baptized in the waters of Mormon.

Thou art blessed because of thy exceeding faith

in the words alone of my servant Abinadi.

Mosiah 26:16

And blessed are they because of their exceeding faith

in the words alone which thou hast spoken unto them.

Mosiah 26:17

And blessed art thou because thou hast established a church among this people;

and they shall be established, and they shall be my people.

Mosiah 26:18

Yea, blessed is this people who are willing to bear my name;

for in my name shall they be called; and they are mine.

Mosiah 26:19

And because thou hast inquired of me concerning the transgressor,

thou art blessed.

Mosiah 26:20

Thou art my servant;

and I covenant with thee that thou shalt have eternal life;

and thou shalt serve me and go forth in my name,

and shalt gather together my sheep.

Mosiah 26:21

And he that will hear my voice shall be my sheep;

and him shall ye receive into the church,

and him will I also receive.

Mosiah 26:22

For behold, this is my church;

whosoever is baptized shall be baptized unto repentance.

And whomsoever ye receive shall believe in my name;

and him will I freely forgive.

Mosiah 26:23

For it is I that taketh upon me the sins of the world;

for it is I that hath created them;

and it is I that granteth unto him that believeth

unto the end a place at my right hand.

Mosiah 26:24

For behold, in my name are they called;

and if they know me

they shall come forth, and shall have a place eternally at my right hand.

Mosiah 26:25

And it shall come to pass that when the second trump shall sound

then shall they that never knew me come forth

and shall stand before me.

Mosiah 26:26

And then shall they know that I am the Lord their God,

that I am their Redeemer;

but they would not be redeemed.

Mosiah 26:28

Therefore I say unto you,

that he that will not hear my voice,

the same shall ye not receive into my church,

for him I will not receive at the last day.

Mosiah 26:29

Therefore I say unto you, Go;

and whosoever transgresseth against me,

him shall ye judge according to the sins which he has committed;

and if he confess his sins before thee and me,

and repenteth in the sincerity of his heart,

him shall ye forgive,

and I will forgive him also.

Mosiah 26:30

Yea, and as often as my people repent

will I forgive them their trespasses against me.

Mosiah 26:31

And ye shall also forgive one another your trespasses;

for verily I say unto you,

he that forgiveth not his neighbor's trespasses when he says that he repents,

the same hath brought himself under condemnation.

Mosiah 26:32

Now I say unto you, Go;

and whosoever will not repent of his sins

the same shall not be numbered among my people;

and this shall be observed from this time forward.

Mosiah 26:33

And it came to pass

when Alma had heard these words

he wrote them down

that he might have them,

and that he might judge the people of that church

according to the commandments of God.
