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.

to believe in things to come, which they knew nothing about.

Alma 31:38

And the Lord provided for them

that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst;

And now behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you,

do not suppose that this is all;

for after ye have done all these things,

if ye turn away the needy, and the naked,

and visit not the sick and afflicted,

and impart of your substance, if ye have,

to those who stand in need —

I say unto you,

if ye do not any of these things,

behold, your prayer is vain, and availeth you nothing,

and ye are as hypocrites who do deny the faith.

Alma 34:39

Yea, and I also exhort you, my brethren,

that ye be watchful unto prayer continually,

that ye may not be led away by the temptations of the devil,

that he may not overpower you,

that ye may not become his subjects at the last day;

for behold, he rewardeth you no good thing.
