Alma 26:32

Alma 24:18

And this they did,

it being in their view a testimony to God, and also to men,

that they never would use weapons again for the shedding of man's blood;

and this they did, vouching and covenanting with God, that

rather than shed the blood of their brethren

they would give up their own lives;

and rather than take away from a brother

they would give unto him;

and rather than spend their days in idleness

they would labor abundantly with their hands.

Alma 24:19

And thus we see that,

when these Lamanites were brought to believe and to know the truth,

they were firm, and would suffer even unto death rather than commit sin;

and thus we see that they buried their weapons of peace,

or they buried the weapons of war, for peace.

Alma 24:26

And it came to pass that the people of God were joined that day

by more than the number who had been slain;

and those who had been slain were righteous people,

therefore we have no reason to doubt but what they were saved.

Alma 24:27

And there was not a wicked man slain among them;

but there were more than a thousand brought to the knowledge of the truth;

thus we see that the Lord worketh in many ways to the salvation of his people.

Alma 24:30

And thus we can plainly discern, that

after a people have been once enlightened by the Spirit of God,

and have had great knowledge of things pertaining to righteousness,

and then have fallen away into sin and transgression,

they become more hardened,

and thus their state becomes worse

than though they had never known these things.

Alma 26:32

For behold, they had rather sacrifice their lives

than even to take the life of their enemy;

and they have buried their weapons of war deep in the earth,

because of their love towards their brethren.
