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 5:18

Or otherwise, can ye imagine yourselves brought before the tribunal of God

with your souls filled with guilt and remorse,

having a remembrance of all your guilt,

yea, a perfect remembrance of all your wickedness,

yea, a remembrance that ye have set at defiance the commandments of God?

Alma 5:19

I say unto you,

can ye look up to God at that day

with a pure heart and clean hands?

I say unto you,

can you look up,

having the image of God engraven upon your countenances?

Alma 5:22

And now I ask of you, my brethren,

how will any of you feel, if ye shall stand before the bar of God,

having your garments stained with blood and all manner of filthiness?

Behold, what will these things testify against you?

Alma 5:37

O ye workers of iniquity;

ye that are puffed up in the vain things of the world,

ye that have professed to have known the ways of righteousness

nevertheless have gone astray, as sheep having no shepherd,

notwithstanding a shepherd hath called after you

and is still calling after you,

but ye will not hearken unto his voice!

Alma 5:54

Yea, will ye persist in supposing that ye are better one than another;

yea, will ye persist in the persecution of your brethren,

who humble themselves and do walk after the holy order of God,

wherewith they have been brought into this church,

having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit,

and they do bring forth works which are meet for repentance —

Alma 5:59

For what shepherd is there among you having many sheep

doth not watch over them,

that the wolves enter not and devour his flock?

And behold, if a wolf enter his flock

doth he not drive him out?

Yea, and at the last, if he can, he will destroy him.
