Alma 7:1, 2, 18, 20, 22, 25

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 7:2

And even I could not have come now at this time

were it not that the judgment-seat hath been given to another,

to reign in my stead;

and the Lord in much mercy hath granted that I should come unto you.

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 7:20

I perceive that it has been made known unto you, by the testimony of his word,

that he cannot walk in crooked paths;

neither doth he vary from that which he hath said;

neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left,

or from that which is right to that which is wrong;

therefore, his course is one eternal round.

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 7:25

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.
