Alma 26:2

And now, I ask,

what great blessings has he bestowed upon us?

Can ye tell?

Alma 26:3

Behold, I answer for you;

for our brethren, the Lamanites, were in darkness,

yea, even in the darkest abyss,

but behold, how many of them are brought to behold the marvelous light of God!

And this is the blessing which hath been bestowed upon us,

that we have been made instruments in the hands of God

to bring about this great work.

Alma 26:19

Oh then, why did he not consign us to an awful destruction,

yea, why did he not let the sword of his justice fall upon us,

and doom us to eternal despair?

Alma 26:20

Oh, my soul, almost as it were, fleeth at the thought.

Behold, he did not exercise his justice upon us,

but in his great mercy hath brought us

over that everlasting gulf of death and misery,

even to the salvation of our souls.
