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 9:16

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 9:24

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?
