Alma 25:16

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 25:16

Now they did not suppose that salvation came by the law of Moses;

but the law of Moses did serve to strengthen their faith in Christ;

and thus they did retain a hope through faith, unto eternal salvation,

relying upon the spirit of prophecy, which spake of those things to come.
