Alma 26:9, 30, 36



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 24:16

And now, my brethren, if our brethren seek to destroy us,

behold, we will hide away our swords,

yea, even we will bury them deep in the earth,

that they may be kept bright,

as a testimony that we have never used them,

at the last day;

and if our brethren destroy us,

behold, we shall go to our God and shall be saved.



Alma 26:9

For if we had not come up out of the land of Zarahemla,

these our dearly beloved brethren, who have so dearly beloved us,

would still have been racked with hatred against us,

yea, and they would also have been strangers to God.



Alma 26:30

And we have suffered all manner of afflictions,

and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul;

and we supposed that our joy would be full

if perhaps we could be the means of saving some.



Alma 26:36

Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast;

for this is my life and my light,

my joy and my salvation, and my redemption from everlasting wo.

Yea, blessed is the name of my God,

who has been mindful of this people,

who are a branch of the tree of Israel,

and has been lost from its body in a strange land;

yea, I say,

blessed be the name of my God,

who has been mindful of us,

wanderers in a strange land.
