contextual study / concordance



Alma 26:10

And it came to pass that when Ammon had said these words,

his brother Aaron rebuked him, saying:

Ammon, I fear that thy joy doth carry thee away unto boasting.


Alma 26:11

But Ammon said unto him:

I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom;

but behold, my joy is full,

yea, my heart is brim with joy,

and I will rejoice in my God.


Alma 26:12

Yea, I know that I am nothing;

as to my strength I am weak;

therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God,

for in his strength I can do all things;

yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land,

for which we will praise his name forever.


Alma 26:13

Behold, how many thousands of our brethren has he loosed from the pains of hell;

and they are brought to sing redeeming love,

and this because of the power of his word which is in us,

therefore have we not great reason to rejoice?


Alma 26:14

Yea, we have reason to praise him forever,

for he is the Most High God,

and has loosed our brethren from the chains of hell.


Alma 26:15

Yea, they were encircled about with everlasting darkness and destruction;

but behold, he has brought them into his everlasting light,

yea, into everlasting salvation;

and they are encircled about with the matchless bounty of his love;

yea, and we have been instruments in his hands

of doing this great and marvelous work.


Alma 26:16

Therefore, let us glory,

yea, we will glory in the Lord;

yea, we will rejoice, for our joy is full;

yea, we will praise our God forever.

Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord?

Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy,

and of his long-suffering towards the children of men?

Behold, I say unto you,

I cannot say the smallest part which I feel.
