I say unto you,

can you imagine to yourselves

that ye hear the voice of the Lord, saying unto you, in that day:

Come unto me ye blessed,

for behold, your works have been the works of righteousness

upon the face of the earth?



Alma 5:17

Or do ye imagine to yourselves

that ye can lie unto the Lord in that day, and say —

Lord, our works have been righteous works upon the face of the earth —

and that he will save you?



Alma 5:53

And now my beloved brethren, I say unto you,

can ye withstand these sayings;

yea, can ye lay aside these things,

and trample the Holy One under your feet;

yea, can ye be puffed up in the pride of your hearts;

yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of costly apparel

and setting your hearts upon the vain things of the world, upon your riches?



Alma 5:55

Yea, and will you persist in turning your backs upon the poor, and the needy,

and in withholding your substance from them?
