Alma 5:3

I, Alma, having been consecrated by my father, Alma,

to be a high priest over the church of God,

he having power and authority from God to do these things,

behold, I say unto you

that he began to establish a church in the land

which was in the borders of Nephi;

yea, the land which was called the land of Mormon;

yea, and he did baptize his brethren in the waters of Mormon.

Alma 5:5

And behold, after that, they were brought into bondage

by the hands of the Lamanites in the wilderness;

yea, I say unto you, they were in captivity,

and again the Lord did deliver them out of bondage by the power of his word;

and we were brought into this land,

and here we began to establish the church of God throughout this land also.

Alma 5:7

Behold, he changed their hearts;

yea, he awakened them out of a deep sleep,

and they awoke unto God.

Behold, they were in the midst of darkness;

nevertheless, their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word;

yea, they were encircled about by the bands of death, and the chains of hell,

and an everlasting destruction did await them.

Alma 5:9

And again I ask,

were the bands of death broken,

and the chains of hell which encircled them about, were they loosed?

I say unto you,

Yea, they were loosed,

and their souls did expand,

and they did sing redeeming love.

And I say unto you that they are saved.

Alma 5:11

Behold, I can tell you —

did not my father Alma believe in the words

which were delivered by the mouth of Abinadi?

And was he not a holy prophet?

did he not speak the words of God, and my father Alma believe them?
