because of their wickedness and their abominations;

therefore they were awakened to a remembrance of their duty.

Alma 4:7

Now this was the cause of much affliction to Alma,

yea, and to many of the people whom Alma had consecrated

to be teachers, and priests, and elders over the church;

which they saw had begun to be among their people.

Alma 4:15

And now it came to pass that

Alma, having seen the afflictions of the humble followers of God,

and the persecutions which were heaped upon them by the remainder of his people,

and seeing all their inequality,

began to be very sorrowful;

nevertheless the Spirit of the Lord did not fail him.

Alma 4:16

And he selected a wise man who was among the elders of the church,

and gave him power according to the voice of the people,

that he might have power to enact laws

according to the laws which had been given,

and to put them in force according to the wickedness and the crimes of the people.

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.
