Alma 12:1

Now Alma, seeing that the words of Amulek had silenced Zeezrom,

for he beheld that Amulek had caught him

in his lying and deceiving to destroy him,

or to unfold the scriptures beyond that which Amulek had done.

they having first transgressed the first commandments

whether to do evil or to do good —

yea, with that holy calling which was prepared

with, and according to, a preparatory redemption for such.

after the order of the Son, the Only Begotten of the Father,

Amen.
