Alma 9:1

And again, I, Alma, having been commanded of God

that I should take Amulek and go forth and preach again unto this people,

or the people who were in the city of Ammonihah,

it came to pass as I began to preach unto them,

they began to contend with me, saying:

Alma 9:7

And they stood forth to lay their hands on me;

but behold, they did not.

And I stood with boldness to declare unto them,

yea, I did boldly testify unto them, saying:

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 9:14

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 9:15

Nevertheless I say unto you,

that it shall be more tolerable for them in the day of judgment than for you,

if ye remain in your sins,

yea, and even more tolerable for them in this life than for you,

except ye repent.

Alma 9:18

But behold, I say unto you that

if ye persist in your wickedness

that your days shall not be prolonged in the land,

for the Lamanites shall be sent upon you;

and if ye repent not

they shall come in a time when you know not,

and ye shall be visited with utter destruction;

and it shall be according to the fierce anger of the Lord.

Alma 9:19

For he will not suffer you that ye shall live in your iniquities,

to destroy his people.

I say unto you,

Nay; he would rather suffer that the Lamanites might destroy all his people

who are called the people of Nephi,

if it were possible that they could fall into sins and transgressions,

after having had so much light and so much knowledge

given unto them of the Lord their God;

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 9:31

Now it came to pass that when I, Alma, had spoken these words,

behold, the people were wroth with me

because I said unto them that they were a hard-hearted and a stiffnecked people.

Alma 9:32

And also because I said unto them that they were a lost and a fallen people

they were angry with me, and sought to lay their hands upon me,

that they might cast me into prison.
