therefore they took upon themselves the name of Nephi,

that they might be called the children of Nephi

and be numbered among those who were called Nephites.

should be admonished by the church.

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.

but there were many witnesses against them;

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

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 26:13

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 26:20

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 him shall ye receive into the church,

and him will I also receive.

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 26:31

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 26:33

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.

Mosiah 26:34

And it came to pass that Alma went

and judged those that had been taken in iniquity,

according to the word of the Lord.

Mosiah 26:36

And those that would not confess their sins and repent of their iniquity,

the same were not numbered among the people of the church,

and their names were blotted out.

Mosiah 26:37

And it came to pass that Alma did regulate all the affairs of the church;

and they began again to have peace

and to prosper exceedingly in the affairs of the church,

walking circumspectly before God,

receiving many, and baptizing many.

Mosiah 27:1

And now it came to pass that

the persecutions which were inflicted on the church by the unbelievers

became so great

that the church began to murmur,

and complain to their leaders concerning the matter;

and they did complain to Alma.

And Alma laid the case before their king, Mosiah.

And Mosiah consulted with his priests.

Mosiah 27:2

And it came to pass that

king Mosiah sent a proclamation throughout the land round about

that there should not any unbeliever persecute any of those

who belonged to the church of God.

Mosiah 27:3

And there was a strict command throughout all the churches

that there should be no persecutions among them,

that there should be an equality among all men;

Mosiah 27:4

that they should let no pride nor haughtiness disturb their peace;

that every man should esteem his neighbor as himself,

laboring with their own hands for their support.

Mosiah 27:10

And now it came to pass that

while he was going about to destroy the church of God,

for he did go about secretly with the sons of Mosiah

seeking to destroy the church,

and to lead astray the people of the Lord,

contrary to the commandments of God, or even the king —

Mosiah 27:12

And so great was their astonishment, that they fell to the earth,

and understood not the words which he spake unto them.

Mosiah 27:14

And again, the angel said:

Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people,

and also the prayers of his servant, Alma, who is thy father;

for he has prayed with much faith concerning thee

that thou mightest be brought to the knowledge of the truth;

therefore, for this purpose have I come

to convince thee of the power and authority of God,

that the prayers of his servants might be answered according to their faith.

Mosiah 27:16

Now I say unto thee: Go,

and remember the captivity of thy fathers

in the land of Helam, and in the land of Nephi;

and remember how great things he has done for them;

for they were in bondage, and he has delivered them.

And now I say unto thee, Alma,

go thy way, and seek to destroy the church no more,

that their prayers may be answered,

and this even if thou wilt of thyself be cast off.

Mosiah 27:17

And now it came to pass that

these were the last words which the angel spake unto Alma,

and he departed.

Mosiah 27:18

And now Alma and those that were with him fell again to the earth,

for great was their astonishment;

for with their own eyes they had beheld an angel of the Lord;

and his voice was as thunder, which shook the earth;

and they knew that there was nothing save the power of God

that could shake the earth and cause it to tremble as though it would part asunder.

Mosiah 27:19

And now the astonishment of Alma was so great

that he became dumb,

that he could not open his mouth;

yea, and he became weak,

even that he could not move his hands;

therefore he was taken by those that were with him, and carried helpless,

even until he was laid before his father.

Mosiah 27:20

And they rehearsed unto his father all that had happened unto them;

and his father rejoiced,

for he knew that it was the power of God.

Mosiah 27:21

And he caused that a multitude should be gathered together

that they might witness what the Lord had done for his son,

and also for those that were with him.

Mosiah 27:22

And he caused that the priests should assemble themselves together;

and they began to fast, and to pray to the Lord their God

that he would open the mouth of Alma, that he might speak,

and also that his limbs might receive their strength —

that the eyes of the people might be opened

to see and know of the goodness and glory of God.

Mosiah 27:25

And the Lord said unto me:

Marvel not that all mankind,

yea, men and women,

all nations, kindreds, tongues and people,

must be born again; yea, born of God,

changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness,

being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters;

Mosiah 27:30

I rejected my Redeemer,

and denied that which had been spoken of by our fathers;

but now that they may foresee that he will come,

and that he remembereth every creature of his creating,

he will make himself manifest unto all.

Mosiah 27:31

Yea, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess before him.

Yea, even at the last day, when all men shall stand to be judged of him,

then shall they confess that he is God;

then shall they confess, who live without God in the world,

that the judgment of an everlasting punishment is just upon them;

and they shall quake, and tremble, and shrink

beneath the glance of his all–searching eye.

Mosiah 27:32

And now it came to pass that

Alma began from this time forward to teach the people,

and those who were with Alma at the time the angel appeared unto them,

traveling round about through all the land,

publishing to all the people the things which they had heard and seen,

and preaching the word of God

in much tribulation,

being greatly persecuted by those who were unbelievers,

being smitten by many of them.

Mosiah 27:37

And how blessed are they!

For they did publish peace;

they did publish good tidings of good;

and they did declare unto the people that the Lord reigneth.
