Alma 24:6

Now there was not one soul among all the people

who had been converted unto the Lord

that would take up arms against their brethren;

nay, they would not even make any preparations for war;

yea, and also their king commanded them that they should not.

Alma 24:11

And now behold, my brethren,

since it has been all that we could do,

(as we were the most lost of all mankind)

to repent of all our sins and the many murders which we have committed,

and to get God to take them away from our hearts,

for it was all we could do to repent sufficiently before God

that he would take away our stain —

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 25:11

And now Abinadi was the first

that suffered death by fire because of his belief in God;

now this is what he meant,

that many should suffer death by fire, according as he had suffered.

Alma 25:12

And he said unto the priests of Noah

that their seed should cause many to be put to death, in the like manner as he was,

and that they should be scattered abroad and slain,

even as a sheep having no shepherd is driven and slain by wild beasts;

and now behold, these words were verified,

for they were driven by the Lamanites,

and they were hunted, and they were smitten.

Alma 25:15

Yea, and they did keep the law of Moses;

for it was expedient that they should keep the law of Moses as yet,

for it was not all fulfilled.

But notwithstanding the law of Moses,

they did look forward to the coming of Christ,

considering that the law of Moses was a type of his coming,

and believing that they must keep those outward performances

until the time that he should be revealed unto them.

Alma 26:5

Behold, the field was ripe,

and blessed are ye,

for ye did thrust in the sickle, and did reap with your might,

yea, all the day long did ye labor;

and behold the number of your sheaves!

And they shall be gathered into the garners,

that they are not wasted.

Alma 26:24

For they said unto us:

Do ye suppose that ye can bring the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth?

Do ye suppose that ye can convince the Lamanites

of the incorrectness of the traditions of their fathers,

as stiffnecked a people as they are;

whose hearts delight in the shedding of blood;

whose days have been spent in the grossest iniquity;

whose ways have been the ways of a transgressor from the beginning?

Now my brethren, ye remember that this was their language.
