Alma 4:9

And thus, in this eighth year of the reign of the judges,

there began to be great contentions among the people of the church;

yea, there were envyings, and strife, and malice, and persecutions, and pride,

even to exceed the pride of those who did not belong to the church of God.

Alma 4:12

Yea, he saw great inequality among the people,

some lifting themselves up with their pride, despising others,

turning their backs upon the needy and the naked

and those who were hungry, and those who were athirst,

and those who were sick and afflicted.

Alma 4:13

Now this was a great cause for lamentations among the people,

while others were abasing themselves,

succoring those who stood in need of their succor,

such as imparting their substance to the poor and the needy,

feeding the hungry, and suffering all manner of afflictions, for Christ's sake,

who should come according to the spirit of prophecy;

Alma 4:19

And this he did that he himself might go forth among his people,

or among the people of Nephi,

that he might preach the word of God unto them,

to stir them up in remembrance of their duty,

and that he might pull down, by the word of God,

all the pride and craftiness and all the contentions which were among his people,

seeing no way that he might reclaim them

save it were in bearing down in pure testimony against them.
