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 30:34

And now, if we do not receive anything for our labors in the church,

what doth it profit us to labor in the church

save it were to declare the truth,

that we may have rejoicings in the joy of our brethren?

Alma 32:28

Now, we will compare the word unto a seed.

Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart,

behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed,

if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief,

that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord,

behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts;

and when you feel these swelling motions,

ye will begin to say within yourselves —

It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good,

for it beginneth to enlarge my soul;

yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding,

yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.

Alma 34:11

Now there is not any man that can sacrifice his own blood

which will atone for the sins of another.

Now, if a man murdereth,

behold will our law, which is just, take the life of his brother?

I say unto you, Nay.
