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 24:30

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 26:2

And now, I ask,

what great blessings has he bestowed upon us?

can ye tell?

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 26:16

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.

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.

Alma 26:31

Now behold, we can look forth and see the fruits of our labors;

and are they few?

I say unto you,

Nay, they are many;

yea, and we can witness of their sincerity,

because of their love towards their brethren and also towards us.
