Alma 5:6

And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren,

you that belong to this church,

have you sufficiently retained in remembrance the captivity of your fathers?

Yea, and have you sufficiently retained in remembrance

his mercy and long-suffering towards them?

And moreover, have ye sufficiently retained in remembrance

that he has delivered their souls from hell?

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 5:10

And now I ask of you

on what conditions are they saved?

Yea, what grounds had they to hope for salvation?

What is the cause of their being loosed from the bands of death,

yea, and also the chains of hell?
