Alma 31:12

Now, when they had come into the land,

behold, to their astonishment they found that the Zoramites had built synagogues,

and that they did gather themselves together on one day of the week,

which day they did call the day of the Lord;

and they did worship after a manner

which Alma and his brethren had never beheld;

must go forth and stand upon the top thereof,

and stretch forth his hands towards heaven,

to enter into their synagogues to worship God,

being esteemed as filthiness;

and also they were poor in heart.

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?

Behold, ye have said that ye could not worship your God

because ye are cast out of your synagogues.

if ye suppose that ye cannot worship God, ye do greatly err,

and ye ought to search the scriptures;

if ye suppose that they have taught you this,

ye do not understand them.

but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ;

that ye humble yourselves even to the dust,

and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in,

in spirit and in truth;

and that ye live in thanksgiving daily,

for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you.
