Alma 4:3, 8, 12, 15

Alma 4:3

And so great were their afflictions that every soul had cause to mourn;

and they believed that it was the judgments of God sent upon them

because of their wickedness and their abominations;

therefore they were awakened to a remembrance of their duty.

Alma 4:8

For they saw and beheld with great sorrow

that the people of the church began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes,

and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world,

that they began to be scornful, one towards another,

and they began to persecute those that did not believe

according to their own will and pleasure.

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 4:15

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.
