Alma 7:5

And I trust, according to the Spirit of God which is in me,

that I shall also have joy over you;

nevertheless I do not desire

that my joy over you should come

by the cause of so much afflictions and sorrow

which I have had for the brethren at Zarahemla,

for behold, my joy cometh over them

after wading through much affliction and sorrow.

Alma 7:6

But behold, I trust that ye are not in a state of so much unbelief

as were your brethren;

I trust that ye are not lifted up in the pride of your hearts;

yea, I trust that ye have not set your hearts

upon riches and the vain things of the world;

yea, I trust that you do not worship idols,

but that ye do worship the true and the living God,

and that ye look forward for the remission of your sins,

with an everlasting faith,

which is to come.

for behold, I say unto you there be many things to come;

and behold, there is one thing which is of more importance than they all —

for behold, the time is not far distant

that the Redeemer liveth and cometh among his people.

Alma 7:8

Behold, I do not say that he will come among us

at the time of his dwelling in his mortal tabernacle;

for behold, the Spirit hath not said unto me that this should be the case.

Now as to this thing I do not know;

but this much I do know,

that the Lord God hath power to do all things

which are according to his word.

Alma 7:9

But behold, the Spirit hath said this much unto me, saying:

Cry unto this people, saying —

Repent ye,

and prepare the way of the Lord,

and walk in his paths, which are straight;

for behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand,

and the Son of God cometh upon the face of the earth.

Alma 7:14

Now I say unto you

that ye must repent, and be born again;

for the Spirit saith

if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven;

therefore come and be baptized unto repentance,

that ye may be washed from your sins,

that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God,

who taketh away the sins of the world,

who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.

Alma 7:18

for as I said unto you from the beginning,

that I had much desire

that ye were not in the state of dilemma like your brethren,

even so I have found that my desires have been gratified.

Alma 7:19

for I perceive that ye are in the paths of righteousness;

I perceive that ye are in the path which leads to the kingdom of God;

yea, I perceive that ye are making his paths straight.

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.
