Alma 30:4

And thus the people did have no disturbance

in all the sixteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.

Alma 30:12

And this Anti-Christ, whose name was Korihor,

(and the law could have no hold upon him)

began to preach unto the people that there should be no Christ.

And after this manner did he preach, saying:

Alma 30:21

And it came to pass that he caused that he should be carried out of the land.

And he came over into the land of Gideon,

and began to preach unto them also;

and here he did not have much success,

for he was taken and bound and carried before the high priest,

and also the chief judge over the land.

Alma 30:28

Yea, they durst not make use of that which is their own

lest they should offend their priests,

who do yoke them according to their desires,

and have brought them to believe, by their traditions and their dreams

and their whims and their visions and their pretended mysteries,

that they should, if they did not do according to their words,

offend some unknown being, who they say is God —

a being who never has been seen or known,

who never was nor ever will be.

Alma 30:32

Now Alma said unto him:

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

for behold I have labored

even from the commencement of the reign of the judges until now,

with mine own hands for my support,

notwithstanding my many travels round about the land

to declare the word of God unto my people.

Alma 30:33

And notwithstanding the many labors which I have performed in the church,

I have never received so much as even one senine for my labor;

neither has any of my brethren,

save it were in the judgment-seat;

and then we have received only according to law for our time.

Alma 30:34

And now, if we do not receive anything for our labors in the church,

what doth it profit us to labor in the church

save it were to declare the truth,

that we may have rejoicings in the joy of our brethren?

Alma 30:40

And now what evidence have ye that there is no God, or that Christ cometh not?

I say unto you that ye have none, save it be your word only.

Alma 30:41

But, behold, I have all things as a testimony that these things are true;

and ye also have all things as a testimony unto you that they are true;

and will ye deny them?

Believest thou that these things are true?

Alma 30:42

Behold, I know that thou believest,

but thou art possessed with a lying spirit,

and ye have put off the Spirit of God that it may have no place in you;

but the devil has power over you,

and he doth carry you about,

working devices that he may destroy the children of God.

Alma 30:44

But Alma said unto him:

Thou hast had signs enough;

will ye tempt your God?

Will ye say,

Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren,

and also all the holy prophets?

The scriptures are laid before thee,

yea, and all things denote there is a God;

yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it,

yea, and its motion,

yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form

do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.

Alma 30:49

Now Alma said unto him:

This will I give unto thee for a sign,

that thou shalt be struck dumb, according to my words;

and I say, that in the name of God, ye shall be struck dumb,

that ye shall no more have utterance.

Alma 30:50

Now when Alma had said these words, Korihor was struck dumb,

that he could not have utterance, according to the words of Alma.

Alma 30:53

But behold, the devil hath deceived me;

for he appeared unto me in the form of an angel, and said unto me:

Go and reclaim this people,

for they have all gone astray after an unknown God.

And he said unto me:

There is no God;

yea, and he taught me that which I should say.

And I have taught his words;

and I taught them because they were pleasing unto the carnal mind;

and I taught them, even until I had much success,

insomuch that I verily believed that they were true;

and for this cause I withstood the truth,

even until I have brought this great curse upon me.

Alma 31:31

O Lord, my heart is exceedingly sorrowful;

wilt thou comfort my soul in Christ.

O Lord, wilt thou grant unto me that I may have strength,

that I may suffer with patience these afflictions which shall come upon me,

because of the iniquity of this people.

Alma 31:33

Wilt thou grant unto them that they may have strength,

that they may bear their afflictions which shall come upon them

because of the iniquities of this people.

Alma 31:34

O Lord, wilt thou grant unto us

that we may have success in bringing them again unto thee in Christ.

Alma 32:2

And it came to pass that after much labor among them,

they began to have success among the poor class of people;

for behold, they were cast out of the synagogues

because of the coarseness of their apparel —

Alma 32:4

Now, as Alma was teaching and speaking unto the people upon the hill Onidah,

there came a great multitude unto him,

who were those of whom we have been speaking,

of whom were poor in heart, because of their poverty as to the things of the world.

Alma 32:5

And they came unto Alma;

and the one who was the foremost among them said unto him:

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?

Alma 32:21

And now as I said concerning faith —

faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things;

therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.

Alma 32:23

And now, he imparteth his word by angels unto men,

yea, not only men but women also.

Now this is not all;

little children do have words given unto them many times,

which confound the wise and the learned.

Alma 32:24

And now, my beloved brethren, as ye have desired to know of me

what ye shall do because ye are afflicted and cast out —

now I do not desire that ye should suppose that I mean to judge you

only according to that which is true —

Alma 32:25

For I do not mean that ye all of you have been compelled to humble yourselves;

for I verily believe that there are some among you who would humble themselves,

let them be in whatsoever circumstances they might.

Alma 32:33

And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment, and planted the seed,

and it swelleth and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow,

ye must needs know that the seed is good.

Alma 32:35

O then, is not this real?

I say unto you,

Yea, because it is light;

and whatsoever is light, is good, because it is discernible,

therefore ye must know that it is good;

and now behold, after ye have tasted this light is your knowledge perfect?

Alma 32:36

Behold I say unto you, Nay;

neither must ye lay aside your faith,

for ye have only exercised your faith to plant the seed

that ye might try the experiment to know if the seed was good.

Alma 32:39

Now, this is not because the seed was not good,

neither is it because the fruit thereof would not be desirable;

but it is because your ground is barren, and ye will not nourish the tree,

therefore ye cannot have the fruit thereof.

Alma 33:2

And Alma said unto them:

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

because ye are cast out of your synagogues.

But behold, I say unto you,

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.

Alma 33:3

Do ye remember to have read

what Zenos, the prophet of old, has said concerning prayer or worship?

Alma 33:10

Yea, and thou hast also heard me

when I have been cast out and have been despised by mine enemies;

yea, thou didst hear my cries, and wast angry with mine enemies,

and thou didst visit them in thine anger with speedy destruction.

Alma 33:12

And now Alma said unto them:

Do ye believe those scriptures which have been written by them of old?

Alma 33:14

Now behold, my brethren, I would ask if ye have read the scriptures?

If ye have, how can ye disbelieve on the Son of God?

Alma 33:18

But behold, this is not all;

these are not the only ones who have spoken concerning the Son of God.

Alma 34:2

My brethren, I think that it is impossible

that ye should be ignorant of the things

which have been spoken concerning the coming of Christ,

who is taught by us to be the Son of God;

yea, I know that these things were taught unto you bountifully

before your dissension from among us.

Alma 34:3

And as ye have desired of my beloved brother

that he should make known unto you

what ye should do, because of your afflictions;

and he hath spoken somewhat unto you to prepare your minds;

yea, and he hath exhorted you unto faith and to patience —

Alma 34:4

Yea, even that ye would have so much faith

as even to plant the word in your hearts,

that ye may try the experiment of its goodness.

Alma 34:5

And we have beheld that the great question which is in your minds

is whether the word be in the Son of God, or whether there shall be no Christ.

Alma 34:13

Therefore, it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice,

and then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be,

a stop to the shedding of blood;

then shall the law of Moses be fulfilled;

yea, it shall be all fulfilled, every jot and tittle,

and none shall have passed away.

Alma 34:15

And thus he shall bring salvation to all those who shall believe on his name;

this being the intent of this last sacrifice,

to bring about the bowels of mercy, which overpowereth justice,

and bringeth about means unto men that they may have faith unto repentance.

Alma 34:17

Therefore may God grant unto you, my brethren,

that ye may begin to exercise your faith unto repentance,

that ye begin to call upon his holy name,

that he would have mercy upon you;

Alma 34:28

And now behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you,

do not suppose that this is all;

for after ye have done all these things,

if ye turn away the needy, and the naked,

and visit not the sick and afflicted,

and impart of your substance, if ye have,

to those who stand in need —

I say unto you,

if ye do not any of these things,

behold, your prayer is vain, and availeth you nothing,

and ye are as hypocrites who do deny the faith.

Alma 34:30

And now, my brethren, I would that, after ye have received so many witnesses,

seeing that the holy scriptures testify of these things,

ye come forth and bring fruit unto repentance.

Alma 34:33

And now, as I said unto you before,

as ye have had so many witnesses,

therefore, I beseech of you

that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end;

for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity,

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.

Alma 34:34

Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis,

that I will repent,

that I will return to my God.

Nay, ye cannot say this;

for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies

at the time that ye go out of this life,

that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.

Alma 34:35

For behold, if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death,

behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil,

and he doth seal you his;

therefore, the Spirit of the Lord hath withdrawn from you, and hath no place in you,
