Alma 2:1

And it came to pass in the commencement of the fifth year of their reign

there began to be a contention among the people;

for a certain man, being called Amlici,

he being a very cunning man,

yea, a wise man as to the wisdom of the world,

he being after the order of the man that slew Gideon by the sword,

who was executed according to the law —

Alma 2:4

Therefore, if it were possible

that Amlici should gain the voice of the people,

he, being a wicked man, would deprive them

of their rights and privileges of the church;

for it was his intent to destroy the church of God.

Alma 2:30

And it came to pass that Alma, being a man of God,

being exercised with much faith,

cried, saying:

O Lord, have mercy and spare my life,

that I may be an instrument in thy hands to save and preserve this people.
