Alma 22:3, 14, 15, 31

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 22:14

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 22:31

And they came from there up into the south wilderness.

Thus the land on the northward was called Desolation,

and the land on the southward was called Bountiful,

it being the wilderness which is filled

with all manner of wild animals of every kind,

a part of which had come from the land northward for food.
