Alma 24:13

Behold, I say unto you,

Nay, let us retain our swords that they be not stained with the blood of our brethren;

for perhaps, if we should stain our swords again

they can no more be washed bright through the blood of the Son of our great God,

which shall be shed for the atonement of our sins.

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 24:25

And it came to pass that they threw down their weapons of war,

and they would not take them again,

for they were stung for the murders which they had committed;

and they came down even as their brethren,

relying upon the mercies of those whose arms were lifted to slay them.

Alma 25:13

And it came to pass that

when the Lamanites saw that they could not overpower the Nephites

they returned again to their own land;

and many of them came over to dwell in the land of Ishmael and the land of Nephi,

and did join themselves to the people of God,

who were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

Alma 26:29

And we have entered into their houses and taught them,

and we have taught them in their streets;

yea, and we have taught them upon their hills;

and we have also entered into their temples and their synagogues and taught them;

and we have been cast out, and mocked, and spit upon, and smote upon our cheeks;

and we have been stoned,

and taken and bound with strong cords, and cast into prison;

and through the power and wisdom of God we have been delivered again.
