Alma 13:8



Alma 12:14

For our words will condemn us,

yea, all our works will condemn us;

we shall not be found spotless;

and our thoughts will also condemn us;

and in this awful state we shall not dare to look up to our God;

and we would fain be glad

if we could command the rocks and the mountains to fall upon us

to hide us from his presence.



Alma 12:24

And we see that death comes upon mankind,

yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek,

which has been spoken of by us,

which is after the resurrection of the dead.

if ye will harden your hearts

ye shall not enter into the rest of the Lord;

that he sendeth down his wrath upon you as in the first provocation,

yea, according to his word in the last provocation as well as the first,

to the everlasting destruction of your souls;

therefore, according to his word, unto the last death, as well as the first.



Alma 12:37

And now, my brethren, seeing we know these things, and they are true,

let us repent, and harden not our hearts,

that we provoke not the Lord our God to pull down his wrath upon us

in these his second commandments which he has given unto us;

but let us enter into the rest of God,

which is prepared according to his word.



Alma 13:8

Now they were ordained after this manner —

being called with a holy calling, and ordained with a holy ordinance,

and taking upon them the high priesthood of the holy order,

which calling, and ordinance, and high priesthood, is without beginning or end —
