Alma 29:9

I know that which the Lord hath commanded me,

and I glory in it.

I do not glory of myself,

but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me;

yea, and this is my glory,

that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God

to bring some soul to repentance;

and this is my joy.

Alma 29:13

Yea, and that same God did establish his church among them;

yea, and that same God hath called me by a holy calling,

to preach the word unto this people,

and hath given me much success, in the which my joy is full.

Alma 29:14

But I do not joy in my own success alone,

but my joy is more full because of the success of my brethren,

who have been up to the land of Nephi.

Alma 29:16

Now, when I think of the success of these my brethren

my soul is carried away,

even to the separation of it from the body, as it were,

so great is my joy.
