Alma 1:17

Nevertheless, they durst not lie, if it were known, for fear of the law,

for liars were punished;

therefore they pretended to preach according to their belief;

and now the law could have no power on any man for his belief.

And they durst not steal, for fear of the law,

for such were punished;

neither durst they rob, nor murder,

for he that murdered was punished unto death.
