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.

that there should not any man, belonging to the church,

Now this was in the second year of the reign of Alma,

and it was a cause of much affliction to the church;

yea, it was the cause of much trial with the church.
