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.

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.

and in his fierce anger he will not turn away.

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

and the Lamanites have been cut off from his presence,

from the beginning of their transgressions in the land.

Alma 9:16

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;

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 9:20

Yea, after having been such a highly favored people of the Lord;

yea, after having been favored above every other nation, kindred, tongue, or people;

according to their desires, and their faith, and prayers,

of that which has been, and which is, and which is to come;

Alma 9:21

Having been visited by the Spirit of God;

having conversed with angels,

and having been spoken unto by the voice of the Lord;

and the gift of preaching,

and the gift of the Holy Ghost,

and the gift of translation;

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.

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

full of patience, mercy, and long-suffering,

quick to hear the cries of his people and to answer their prayers.

for the time is at hand that all men shall reap a reward of their works,

according to that which they have been —

according to the power and deliverance of Jesus Christ;

and if they have been evil

they shall reap the damnation of their souls,

according to the power and captivation of the devil.
