Alma 5:38

Behold, I say unto you, that the good shepherd doth call you;

yea, and in his own name he doth call you,

which is the name of Christ;

and if ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good shepherd,

to the name by which ye are called,

behold, ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd.

Alma 5:39

And now if ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd,

of what fold are ye?

Behold, I say unto you,

that the devil is your shepherd,

and ye are of his fold;

and now, who can deny this?

Behold, I say unto you,

whosoever denieth this is a liar and a child of the devil.

Alma 5:41

Therefore, if a man bringeth forth good works

he hearkeneth unto the voice of the good shepherd,

and he doth follow him;

but whosoever bringeth forth evil works,

the same becometh a child of the devil,

for he hearkeneth unto his voice, and doth follow him.

Alma 5:57

And now I say unto you,

all you that are desirous to follow the voice of the good shepherd,

come ye out from the wicked,

and be ye separate, and touch not their unclean things;

and behold, their names shall be blotted out,

that the names of the wicked shall not be numbered

among the names of the righteous,

that the word of God may be fulfilled, which saith:

The names of the wicked shall not be mingled with the names of my people;

Alma 5:60

And now I say unto you

that the good shepherd doth call after you;

and if you will hearken unto his voice

he will bring you into his fold, and ye are his sheep;

and he commandeth you that ye suffer no ravenous wolf to enter among you,

that ye may not be destroyed.
