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 9:11

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 9:13

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 9:15

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.

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 9:33

But it came to pass that the Lord did not suffer them

that they should take me at that time and cast me into prison.

Alma 9:34

And it came to pass that Amulek went and stood forth,

and began to preach unto them also.

And now the words of Amulek are not all written,

nevertheless a part of his words are written in this book.
