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.

Alma 28:14

And thus we see the great call of diligence of men

to labor in the vineyards of the Lord;

and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, and also of rejoicing —

sorrow because of death and destruction among men,

and joy because of the light of Christ unto life.

Alma 29:4

I ought not to harrow up in my desires, the firm decree of a just God,

for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire,

whether it be unto death or unto life;

yea, I know that he allotteth unto men,

yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable, according to their wills,

whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction.

Alma 29:5

Yea, and I know that good and evil have come before all men;

he that knoweth not good from evil is blameless;

but he that knoweth good and evil,

to him it is given according to his desires,

whether he desireth good or evil, life or death, joy or remorse of conscience.
