Alma 24:8

And behold, I thank my great God

that he has given us a portion of his Spirit to soften our hearts,

that we have opened a correspondence with these brethren, the Nephites.

Alma 24:9

And behold, I also thank my God, that by opening this correspondence

we have been convinced of our sins,

and of the many murders which we have committed.

Alma 24:10

And I also thank my God, yea, my great God,

that he hath granted unto us that we might repent of these things,

and also that he hath forgiven us

of those our many sins and murders which we have committed,

and taken away the guilt from our hearts, through the merits of his Son.

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 24:18

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.
