Alma 9:1, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18

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 9:13

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 9:15

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 9:16

For there are many promises which are extended to the Lamanites;

for it is because of the traditions of their fathers

that caused them to remain in their state of ignorance;

therefore the Lord will be merciful unto them

and prolong their existence in the land.

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.
