Alma 4:6, 9, 10

Alma 4:6

And it came to pass in the eighth year of the reign of the judges,

that the people of the church began to wax proud,

because of their exceeding riches, and their fine silks, and their fine-twined linen,

and because of their many flocks and herds,

and their gold and their silver, and all manner of precious things,

which they had obtained by their industry;

and in all these things were they lifted up in the pride of their eyes,

for they began to wear very costly apparel.

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 4:10

And thus ended the eighth year of the reign of the judges;

and the wickedness of the church was a great stumbling-block

to those who did not belong to the church;

and thus the church began to fail in its progress.
