Alma 12:8

And Zeezrom began to inquire of them diligently,

that he might know more concerning the kingdom of God.

And he said unto Alma:

What does this mean which Amulek hath spoken

concerning the resurrection of the dead,

that all shall rise from the dead,

both the just and the unjust,

and are brought to stand before God

to be judged according to their works?

Alma 12:12

And Amulek hath spoken plainly concerning death,

and being raised from this mortality to a state of immortality,

and being brought before the bar of God,

to be judged according to our works.

Alma 12:13

Then if our hearts have been hardened,

yea, if we have hardened our hearts against the word,

insomuch that it has not been found in us,

then will our state be awful,

for then we shall be condemned.

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 12:15

But this cannot be;

we must come forth and stand before him

in his glory, and in his power, and in his might, majesty, and dominion,

and acknowledge to our everlasting shame that all his judgments are just;

that he is just in all his works,

and that he is merciful unto the children of men,

and that he has all power to save every man

that believeth on his name and bringeth forth fruit meet for repentance.

Alma 12:17

Then is the time when their torments shall be as a lake of fire and brimstone,

whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever;

and then is the time that they shall be chained down to an everlasting destruction,

according to the power and captivity of Satan,

he having subjected them according to his will.

Alma 12:18

Then, I say unto you,

they shall be as though there had been no redemption made;

for they cannot be redeemed according to God's justice;

and they cannot die,

seeing there is no more corruption.

Alma 12:19

Now it came to pass that

when Alma had made an end of speaking these words,

the people began to be more astonished;

Alma 12:20

But there was one Antionah, who was a chief ruler among them,

came forth and said unto him:

What is this that thou hast said,

that man should rise from the dead

and be changed from this mortal to an immortal state

that the soul can never die?

Alma 12:32

Therefore God gave unto them commandments,

after having made known unto them the plan of redemption,

that they should not do evil,

the penalty thereof being a second death,

which was an everlasting death as to things pertaining unto righteousness;

for on such the plan of redemption could have no power,

for the works of justice could not be destroyed,

according to the supreme goodness of God.
