Alma 30:20

But behold they were more wise than many of the Nephites;

for they took him, and bound him, and carried him before Ammon,

who was a high priest over that people.

Alma 30:47

But behold, it is better that thy soul should be lost

than that thou shouldst be the means of bringing many souls down to destruction,

by thy lying and by thy flattering words;

therefore if thou shalt deny again,

behold God shall smite thee, that thou shalt become dumb,

that thou shalt never open thy mouth any more,

that thou shalt not deceive this people any more.

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 32:15

Yea, he that truly humbleth himself,

and repenteth of his sins, and endureth to the end,

the same shall be blessed —

yea, much more blessed than they who are compelled to be humble

because of their exceeding poverty.

Alma 32:19

And now, how much more cursed is he

that knoweth the will of God and doeth it not,

than he that only believeth, or only hath cause to believe,

and falleth into transgression?

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.

Alma 32:27

But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties,

even to an experiment upon my words,

and exercise a particle of faith,

yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe,

let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner

that ye can give place for a portion of my words.
