Alma 9:10

And have ye forgotten so soon

how many times he delivered our fathers out of the hands of their enemies,

and preserved them from being destroyed,

even by the hands of their own brethren?

Alma 9:11

Yea, and if it had not been for his matchless power,

and his mercy, and his long-suffering towards us,

we should unavoidably have been cut off from the face of the earth

long before this period of time,

and perhaps been consigned to a state of endless misery and woe.

Alma 9:12

Behold, now I say unto you that he commandeth you to repent;

and except ye repent, ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.

But behold, this is not all —

he has commanded you to repent,

or he will utterly destroy you from off the face of the earth;

yea, he will visit you in his anger,

and in his fierce anger he will not turn away.

Alma 9:13

Behold, do ye not remember the words which he spake unto Lehi,

saying that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments,

ye shall prosper in the land?

And again it is said that: Inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments

ye shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Alma 9:14

Now I would that ye should remember,

that inasmuch as the Lamanites have not kept the commandments of God,

they have been cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Now we see that the word of the Lord has been verified in this thing,

and the Lamanites have been cut off from his presence,

from the beginning of their transgressions in the land.

Alma 9:22

Yea, and after having been delivered of God

out of the land of Jerusalem, by the hand of the Lord;

having been saved from famine,

and from sickness, and all manner of diseases of every kind;

and they having waxed strong in battle, that they might not be destroyed;

having been brought out of bondage time after time,

and having been kept and preserved until now;

and they have been prospered until they are rich in all manner of things —

Alma 9:23

And now behold I say unto you, that

if this people, who have received so many blessings from the hand of the Lord,

should transgress contrary to the light and knowledge which they do have,

I say unto you that if this be the case,

that if they should fall into transgression,

it would be far more tolerable for the Lamanites than for them.

Alma 9:24

For behold, the promises of the Lord are extended to the Lamanites,

but they are not unto you if ye transgress;

for has not the Lord expressly promised and firmly decreed,

that if ye will rebel against him

that ye shall utterly be destroyed from off the face of the earth?
