contextual study / concordance



Alma 15:13

And Alma established a church in the land of Sidom,

and consecrated priests and teachers in the land,

to baptize unto the Lord whosoever were desirous to be baptized.


Alma 15:14

And it came to pass that they were many;

for they did flock in from all the region round about Sidom, and were baptized.


Alma 15:15

But as to the people that were in the land of Ammonihah,

they yet remained a hard-hearted and a stiffnecked people;

and they repented not of their sins,

ascribing all the power of Alma and Amulek to the devil;

for they were of the profession of Nehor,

and did not believe in the repentance of their sins.


Alma 15:16

And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek,

Amulek having forsaken all his gold, and silver,

and his precious things, which were in the land of Ammonihah,

for the word of God,

he being rejected by those who were once his friends

and also by his father and his kindred;


Alma 15:17

Therefore, after Alma having established the church at Sidom,

seeing a great check,

yea, seeing that the people were checked as to the pride of their hearts,

and began to humble themselves before God,

and began to assemble themselves together at their sanctuaries

to worship God before the altar,

watching and praying continually,

that they might be delivered from Satan, and from death, and from destruction —


Alma 15:18

Now as I said,

Alma having seen all these things,

therefore he took Amulek and came over to the land of Zarahemla,

and took him to his own house,

and did administer unto him in his tribulations,

and strengthened him in the Lord.


Alma 15:19

And thus ended the tenth year

of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.
