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,

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 9:14

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 9:20

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;

after having had all things made known unto them,

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 having the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation,

and also many gifts,

the gift of speaking with tongues,

and the gift of preaching,

and the gift of the Holy Ghost,

and the gift of translation;

Alma 9:22

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 9:28

Therefore, prepare ye the way of the Lord,

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

according to that which they have been —

if they have been righteous

they shall reap the salvation of their souls,

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.

Alma 9:30

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.
