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 31:16

Holy God, we believe that thou hast separated us from our brethren;

and we do not believe in the tradition of our brethren,

which was handed down to them by the childishness of their fathers;

but we believe that thou hast elected us to be thy holy children;

and also thou hast made it known unto us that there shall be no Christ.

Alma 31:17

But thou art the same yesterday, today, and forever;

and thou hast elected us that we shall be saved,

whilst all around us are elected to be cast by thy wrath down to hell;

for the which holiness, O God, we thank thee;

and we also thank thee that thou hast elected us,

that we may not be led away after the foolish traditions of our brethren,

which doth bind them down to a belief of Christ,

which doth lead their hearts to wander far from thee, our God.

Alma 32:5

And they came unto Alma;

and the one who was the foremost among them said unto him:

Behold, what shall these my brethren do,

for they are despised of all men because of their poverty,

yea, and more especially by our priests;

for they have cast us out of our synagogues

which we have labored abundantly to build with our own hands;

and they have cast us out because of our exceeding poverty;

and we have no place to worship our God; and behold, what shall we do?

Alma 32:9

Behold thy brother hath said,

What shall we do? —

for we are cast out of our synagogues, that we cannot worship our God.
