Now Alma said unto him:

Thou knowest that we do not glut ourselves upon the labors of this people;

notwithstanding my many travels round about the land

to declare the word of God unto my people.

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

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

while others shall perish.

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

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 —

for it beginneth to enlarge my soul;

yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding,

yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.

behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life,

then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
