Alma 1:7

And it came to pass

as he was 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 1:30

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 as to those who stood in need.



Alma 1:31

And thus they did prosper and become far more wealthy

than those who did not belong to their church.



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 was put in force upon all those who did transgress it,

inasmuch as it was possible.



Alma 2:3

Now this was 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 2:8

Now this did cause much joy in the hearts of those who were against him;

but Amlici did stir up those who were in his favor

to anger against those who were not in his favor.



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.
