Alma 30:2

Now their dead were not numbered because of the greatness of their numbers;

neither were the dead of the Nephites numbered —

but it came to pass after they had buried their dead,

and also after the days of fasting, and mourning, and prayer,

(and it was in the sixteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi)

there began to be continual peace throughout all the land.

Alma 30:7

Now there was no law against a man's belief;

for it was strictly contrary to the commands of God

that there should be a law which should bring men on to unequal grounds.

Alma 30:9

Now if a man desired to serve God, it was his privilege;

or rather, if he believed in God it was his privilege to serve him;

but if he did not believe in him there was no law to punish him.

Alma 31:2

For it was the cause of great sorrow to Alma to know of iniquity among his people;

therefore his heart was exceedingly sorrowful

because of the separation of the Zoramites from the Nephites.

Alma 31:5

And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency

to lead the people to do that which was just —

yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people

than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them —

therefore Alma thought it was expedient

that they should try the virtue of the word of God.

Alma 32:26

Now, as I said concerning faith — that it was not a perfect knowledge —

even so it is with my words.

Ye cannot know of their surety at first, unto perfection,

any more than faith is a perfect knowledge.
