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

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

after having had so much light and so much knowledge

given unto them of the Lord their God;

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

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

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

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,

that if they should fall into transgression,

it would be far more tolerable for the Lamanites than for them.

And now for this cause, that ye may not be destroyed,

the Lord has sent his angel to visit many of his people,

Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is nigh at hand;

Alma 9:26

And not many days hence the Son of God shall come in his glory;

full of grace, equity, and truth,

full of patience, mercy, and long-suffering,

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

And now, my beloved brethren,

for ye are my brethren,

and ye ought to be beloved,

and ye ought to bring forth works which are meet for repentance,

seeing that your hearts have been grossly hardened against the word of God,

and seeing that ye are a lost and a fallen people.
