Alma 10:14

Now it was those men who sought to destroy them,

who were lawyers, who were hired or appointed by the people

to administer the law at their times of trials,

or at the trials of the crimes of the people before the judges.

Alma 11:1

Now it was in the law of Mosiah

that every man who was a judge of the law,

or those who were appointed to be judges,

should receive wages according to the time

which they labored to judge those

who were brought before them to be judged.

Alma 11:2

Now if a man owed another,

and he would not pay that which he did owe,

he was complained of to the judge;

and the judge executed authority, and sent forth officers

that the man should be brought before him;

and he judged the man according to the law

and the evidences which were brought against him,

and thus the man was compelled to pay that which he owed,

or be stripped, or be cast out from among the people as a thief and a robber.

Alma 11:20

Now, it was for the sole purpose to get gain,

because they received their wages according to their employ,

therefore, they did stir up the people to riotings,

and all manner of disturbances and wickedness,

that they might have more employ,

that they might get money according to the suits

which were brought before them;

therefore they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.

Alma 11:25

And now thou hast lied before God unto me.

Thou saidst unto me —

Behold these six onties, which are of great worth,

I will give unto thee —

when thou hadst it in thy heart to retain them from me;

and it was only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God,

that thou mightest have cause to destroy me.

And now behold, for this great evil thou shalt have thy reward.

Alma 11:41

Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no redemption made,

except it be the loosing of the bands of death;

for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead

and stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

Alma 11:43

The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form;

both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame,

even as we now are at this time;

and we shall be brought to stand before God,

knowing even as we know now,

and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.

Alma 11:44

Now, this restoration shall come to all,

both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female,

both the wicked and the righteous;

and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost;

but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame,

as it is now, or in the body,

and shall be brought and be arraigned

before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit,

which is one Eternal God,

to be judged according to their works,

whether they be good or whether they be evil.
