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 30:60

And thus we see the end of him who perverteth the ways of the Lord;

and thus we see that the devil will not support his children at the last day,

but doth speedily drag them down to hell.



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 31:16

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

and we do not believe in the tradition of our brethren,

which was handed down to them by the childishness of their fathers;

but we believe that thou hast elected us to be thy holy children;

and also thou hast made it known unto us that there shall be no Christ.



Alma 31:17

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 bind them down to a belief of Christ,

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