Alma 31:1, 5

Alma 31:1

Now it came to pass that after the end of Korihor,

Alma having received tidings

that the Zoramites were perverting the ways of the Lord,

and that Zoram, who was their leader, was leading the hearts of the people

to bow down to dumb idols,

his heart again began to sicken because of the iniquity of the people.

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.
