Alma's Concluding Exhortation and Blessing
Alma 7:22 - Alma 7:27
Duration: 1:33
Alma 7:22
And now my beloved brethren, I have said these things unto you
that I might awaken you to a sense of your duty to God,
that ye may walk blameless before him,
that ye may walk after the holy order of God,
after which ye have been received.
Alma 7:23
And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle;
easy to be entreated;
full of patience and long-suffering;
being temperate in all things;
being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times;
asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal;
always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
Alma 7:24
And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity,
and then ye will always abound in good works.
Alma 7:25
And may the Lord bless you, and keep your garments spotless,
that ye may at last be brought to sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
and the holy prophets who have been ever since the world began,
having your garments spotless
even as their garments are spotless,
in the kingdom of heaven to go no more out.
Alma 7:26
And now my beloved brethren, I have spoken these words unto you
according to the Spirit which testifieth in me;
and my soul doth exceedingly rejoice,
because of the exceeding diligence and heed
which ye have given unto my word.
Alma 7:27
And now, may the peace of God rest upon you,
and upon your houses and lands,
and upon your flocks and herds, and all that you possess,
your women and your children,
according to your faith and good works, from this time forth and forever.
And thus I have spoken.
Amen.
