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 5:21

I say unto you,

ye will know at that day that ye cannot be saved;

for there can no man be saved except his garments are washed white;

yea, his garments must be purified until they are cleansed from all stain,

through the blood of him of whom it has been spoken by our fathers,

who should come to redeem his people from their sins.

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 5:23

Behold will they not testify that ye are murderers,

yea, and also that ye are guilty of all manner of wickedness?

Alma 5:27

Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God?

Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves,

that ye have been sufficiently humble?

That your garments have been cleansed

and made white through the blood of Christ,

who will come to redeem his people from their sins?

Alma 5:33

Behold, he sendeth an invitation unto all men,

for the arms of mercy are extended towards them,

and he saith: Repent, and I will receive 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 5:38

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 5:53

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 5:54

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 5:55

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

and in withholding your substance from them?

Alma 5:56

And finally, all ye that will persist in your wickedness,

I say unto you that these are they

who shall be hewn down and cast into the fire

except they speedily repent.

Alma 5:58

For the names of the righteous shall be written in the book of life,

and unto them will I grant an inheritance at my right hand.

And now, my brethren, what have ye to say against this?

I say unto you,

if ye speak against it, it matters not,

for the word of God must be fulfilled.

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.

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.
