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

that our brethren were in at Zarahemla.

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

that I shall also have joy over you;

after wading through much affliction and sorrow.

at the time of his dwelling in his mortal tabernacle;

which are according to his word.

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

yea, even the Son of God.

the time shall come,

yea, and it shall be at the last day,

that he who is filthy shall remain in his filthiness.

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 7:25

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.
