Alma 1:3

And he had gone about among the people,

preaching to them that which he termed to be the word of God,

bearing down against the church;

declaring unto the people

that every priest and teacher ought to become popular;

and they ought not to labor with their hands,

but that they ought to be supported by the people.

Alma 1:15

And it came to pass that they took him;

and his name was Nehor;

and they carried him upon the top of the hill Manti,

and there he was caused,

or rather did acknowledge, between the heavens and the earth,

that what he had taught to the people was contrary to the word of God;

and there he suffered an ignominious death.

Alma 1:20

Yea, they did persecute them, and afflict them with all manner of words,

and this because of their humility;

because they were not proud in their own eyes,

and because they did impart the word of God, one with another,

without money and without price.

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 was no better than the hearer,

neither was 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 3:14

Thus the word of God is fulfilled,

for these are the words which he said to Nephi:

Behold, the Lamanites have I cursed,

and I will set a mark on them

that they and their seed may be separated from thee and thy seed,

from this time henceforth and forever,

except they repent of their wickedness and turn to me

that I may have mercy upon them.
