Alma 7:1

Behold my beloved brethren,

seeing that I have been permitted to come unto you,

therefore I attempt to address you in my language;

yea, by my own mouth,

seeing that it is the first time

that I have spoken unto you by the words of my mouth,

I having been wholly confined to the judgment-seat,

having had much business that I could not come unto you.

Alma 7:3

And behold, I have come having great hopes and much desire

that I should find that ye had humbled yourselves before God,

and that ye had continued in the supplicating of his grace,

that I should find that ye were blameless before him,

that I should find that ye were not in the awful dilemma

that our brethren were in at Zarahemla.

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 7:16

And whosoever doeth this,

and keepeth the commandments of God from thenceforth,

the same will remember that I say unto him,

yea, he will remember that I have said unto him,

he shall have eternal life,

according to the testimony of the Holy Spirit, which testifieth in me.

Alma 7:17

And now my beloved brethren, do you believe these things?

Behold, I say unto you,

yea, I know that ye believe them;

and the way that I know that ye believe them

is by the manifestation of the Spirit which is in me.

And now because your faith is strong concerning that,

yea, concerning the things which I have spoken,

great is my joy.

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.

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.

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.
