Alma 27:2

And it came to pass that

the Amalekites, because of their loss, were exceedingly angry.

And when they saw that they could not seek revenge from the Nephites,

they began to stir up the people in anger

against their brethren, the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi;

therefore they began again to destroy them.

Alma 27:28

And they did look upon shedding the blood of their brethren

with the greatest abhorrence;

and they never could be prevailed upon to take up arms against their brethren;

and they never did look upon death with any degree of terror,

for their hope and views of Christ and the resurrection;

therefore, death was swallowed up to them by the victory of Christ over it.

Alma 27:29

Therefore, they would suffer death in the most aggravating and distressing manner

which could be inflicted by their brethren,

before they would take the sword or cimeter to smite them.

O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart,

that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God,

with a voice to shake the earth,

and cry repentance unto every people!

Alma 29:7

Why should I desire that I were an angel,

that I could speak unto all the ends of the earth?
