Alma 21:6

Thou also sayest,

except we repent we shall perish.

How knowest thou the thought and intent of our hearts?

How knowest thou that we have cause to repent?

How knowest thou that we are not a righteous people?

Behold, we have built sanctuaries,

and we do assemble ourselves together to worship God.

We do believe that God will save all men.

Alma 21:22

And he also declared unto them

that they might have the liberty of worshiping the Lord their God

according to their desires, in whatsoever place they were in,

if it were in the land which was under the reign of king Lamoni.

Alma 22:3

And now, O king, if thou wilt spare our lives, we will be thy servants.

And the king said unto them:

Arise, for I will grant unto you your lives,

and I will not suffer that ye shall be my servants;

but I will insist that ye shall administer unto me;

for I have been somewhat troubled in mind

because of the generosity and the greatness of the words of thy brother Ammon;

and I desire to know the cause why he has not come up out of Middoni with thee.

Alma 22:5

What is this that ye have said concerning the Spirit of the Lord?

Behold, this is the thing which doth trouble me.

And Aaron answered him and said unto him:

Believest thou that there is a God?

And the king said:

I know that the Amalekites say that there is a God,

and I have granted unto them that they should build sanctuaries,

that they may assemble themselves together to worship him.

And if now thou sayest there is a God,

behold I will believe.

Alma 22:14

And since man had fallen he could not merit anything of himself;

but the sufferings and death of Christ atone for their sins,

through faith and repentance, and so forth;

and that he breaketh the bands of death,

that the grave shall have no victory,

and that the sting of death should be swallowed up in the hopes of glory;

and Aaron did expound all these things unto the king.

Alma 22:15

And it came to pass that

after Aaron had expounded these things unto him,

the king said:

What shall I do that I may have this eternal life of which thou hast spoken?

Yea, what shall I do that I may be born of God,

having this wicked spirit rooted out of my breast,

and receive his Spirit, that I may be filled with joy,

that I may not be cast off at the last day?

Behold, said he, I will give up all that I possess,

yea, I will forsake my kingdom, that I may receive this great joy.

Alma 22:30

And it bordered upon the land which they called Desolation,

it being so far northward that it came into the land

which had been peopled and been destroyed,

of whose bones we have spoken,

which was discovered by the people of Zarahemla,

it being the place of their first landing.

Alma 22:33

And it came to pass that the Nephites had inhabited the land Bountiful,

even from the east unto the west sea,

and thus the Nephites in their wisdom, with their guards and their armies,

had hemmed in the Lamanites on the south,

that thereby they should have no more possession on the north,

that they might not overrun the land northward.

Alma 22:34

Therefore the Lamanites could have no more possessions

only in the land of Nephi, and the wilderness round about.

Now this was wisdom in the Nephites — as the Lamanites were an enemy to them,

they would not suffer their afflictions on every hand,

and also that they might have a country

whither they might flee, according to their desires.
