Alma 30:6

But it came to pass in the latter end of the seventeenth year,

there came a man into the land of Zarahemla, and he was Anti-Christ,

for he began to preach unto the people against the prophecies

which had been spoken by the prophets, concerning the coming of Christ.

Alma 30:9

Now if a man desired to serve God, it was his privilege;

or rather, if he believed in God it was his privilege to serve him;

but if he did not believe in him there was no law to punish him.

Alma 30:10

But if he murdered he was punished unto death;

and if he robbed he was also punished;

and if he stole he was also punished;

and if he committed adultery he was also punished;

yea, for all this wickedness they were punished.

Alma 30:11

For there was a law that men should be judged according to their crimes.

Nevertheless, there was no law against a man's belief;

therefore, a man was punished only for the crimes which he had done;

therefore all men were on equal grounds.

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 30:17

And many more such things did he say unto them,

telling them that there could be no atonement made for the sins of men,

but every man fared in this life according to the management of the creature;

therefore every man prospered according to his genius,

and that every man conquered according to his strength;

and whatsoever a man did was no crime.

Alma 30:18

And thus he did preach unto them,

leading away the hearts of many,

causing them to lift up their heads in their wickedness,

yea, leading away many women, and also men, to commit whoredoms —

telling them that when a man was dead, that was the end thereof.

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 30:26

And ye also say that Christ shall come.

But behold, I say that ye do not know that there shall be a Christ.

And ye say also that he shall be slain for the sins of the world —

Alma 30:29

Now when the high priest and the chief judge saw the hardness of his heart,

yea, when they saw that he would revile even against God,

they would not make any reply to his words;

but they caused that he should be bound;

and they delivered him up into the hands of the officers,

and sent him to the land of Zarahemla,

that he might be brought before Alma, and the chief judge

who was governor over all the land.

Alma 30:30

And it came to pass that when he was brought before Alma and the chief judge,

he did go on in the same manner as he did in the land of Gideon;

yea, he went on to blaspheme.

Alma 30:31

And he did rise up in great swelling words before Alma,

and did revile against the priests and teachers,

accusing them of leading away the people after the silly traditions of their fathers,

for the sake of glutting on the labors of the people.

Alma 30:38

And he answered, Nay.

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 30:43

And now Korihor said unto Alma:

If thou wilt show me a sign, that I may be convinced that there is a God,

yea, show unto me that he hath power,

and then will I be convinced of the truth of thy words.

Alma 30:45

And yet do ye go about, leading away the hearts of this people,

testifying unto them there is no God?

And yet will ye deny against all these witnesses?

And he said:

Yea, I will deny, except ye shall show me a sign.

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 30:51

And now when the chief judge saw this,

he put forth his hand and wrote unto Korihor, saying:

Art thou convinced of the power of God?

In whom did ye desire that Alma should show forth his sign?

Would ye that he should afflict others, to show unto thee a sign?

Behold, he has showed unto you a sign;

and now will ye dispute more?

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 30:54

Now when he had said this,

he besought that Alma should pray unto God,

that the curse might be taken from him.

Alma 30:56

And it came to pass that the curse was not taken off of Korihor;

but he was cast out, and went about from house to house begging for his food.

Alma 30:59

And it came to pass that as he went forth among the people,

yea, among a people who had separated themselves from the Nephites

and called themselves Zoramites, being led by a man whose name was Zoram —

and as he went forth amongst them,

behold, he was run upon and trodden down, even until he was dead.

Alma 31:6

Therefore he took Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner;

and Himni he did leave in the church in Zarahemla;

but the former three he took with him,

and also Amulek and Zeezrom, who were at Melek;

and he also took two of his sons.

Alma 31:7

Now the eldest of his sons he took not with him, and his name was Helaman;

but the names of those whom he took with him were Shiblon and Corianton;

and these are the names of those who went with him among the Zoramites,

to preach unto them the word.

Alma 31:22

Now, from this stand they did offer up, every man, the selfsame prayer unto God,

thanking their God that they were chosen of him,

and that he did not lead them away after the tradition of their brethren,

and that their hearts were not stolen away

to believe in things to come, which they knew nothing about.

Alma 31:24

Now when Alma saw this his heart was grieved;

for he saw that they were a wicked and a perverse people;

yea, he saw that their hearts were set upon gold, and upon silver,

and upon all manner of fine goods.

Alma 31:25

Yea, and he also saw

that their hearts were lifted up unto great boasting, in their pride.

Alma 31:26

And he lifted up his voice to heaven, and cried, saying:

O, how long, O Lord, wilt thou suffer

that thy servants shall dwell here below in the flesh,

to behold such gross wickedness among the children of men?

Alma 31:36

Now it came to pass that when Alma had said these words,

that he clapped his hands upon all them who were with him.

And behold, as he clapped his hands upon them,

they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Alma 31:38

And the Lord provided for them

that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst;

yea, and he also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions,

save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ.

Now this was according to the prayer of Alma;

and this because he prayed in faith.

Alma 32:6

And now when Alma heard this,

he turned him about, his face immediately towards him,

and he beheld with great joy;

for he beheld that their afflictions had truly humbled them,

and that they were in a preparation to hear the word.

Alma 32:7

Therefore he did say no more to the other multitude;

but he stretched forth his hand,

and cried unto those whom he beheld, who were truly penitent,

and said unto them:

Alma 32:13

And now, because ye are compelled to be humble blessed are ye;

for a man sometimes, if he is compelled to be humble, seeketh repentance;

and now surely, whosoever repenteth shall find mercy;

and he that findeth mercy and endureth to the end

the same shall be saved.

Alma 32:15

Yea, he that truly humbleth himself,

and repenteth of his sins, and endureth to the end,

the same shall be blessed —

yea, much more blessed than they who are compelled to be humble

because of their exceeding poverty.

Alma 32:16

Therefore, blessed are they who humble themselves

without being compelled to be humble;

or rather, in other words, blessed is he

that believeth in the word of God, and is baptized without stubbornness of heart,

yea, without being brought to know the word, or even compelled to know,

before they will believe.

Alma 32:18

Now I ask,

is this faith?

Behold, I say unto you, Nay;

for if a man knoweth a thing he hath no cause to believe,

for he knoweth it.

Alma 32:19

And now, how much more cursed is he

that knoweth the will of God and doeth it not,

than he that only believeth, or only hath cause to believe,

and falleth into transgression?

Alma 32:22

And now, behold, I say unto you, and I would that ye should remember,

that God is merciful unto all who believe on his name;

therefore he desireth, in the first place,

that ye should believe, yea, even on his word.

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 33:1

Now after Alma had spoken these words,

they sent forth unto him desiring to know

whether they should believe in one God,

that they might obtain this fruit of which he had spoken,

or how they should plant the seed, or the word of which he had spoken,

which he said must be planted in their hearts;

or in what manner they should begin to exercise their faith.

Alma 33:4

For he said:

Thou art merciful, O God,

for thou hast heard my prayer,

even when I was in the wilderness;

yea, thou wast merciful

when I prayed concerning those who were mine enemies,

and thou didst turn them to me.

Alma 33:13

Behold, if ye do, ye must believe what Zenos said;

for, behold he said:

Thou hast turned away thy judgments because of thy Son.

Alma 33:16

For behold, he said:

Thou art angry, O Lord, with this people,

because they will not understand thy mercies

which thou hast bestowed upon them because of thy Son.

Alma 33:19

Behold, he was spoken of by Moses;

yea, and behold a type was raised up in the wilderness,

that whosoever would look upon it might live.

And many did look and live.

Alma 33:22

If so, wo shall come upon you;

but if not so, then cast about your eyes

and begin to believe in the Son of God,

that he will come to redeem his people,

and that he shall suffer and die to atone for their sins;

and that he shall rise again from the dead,

which shall bring to pass the resurrection,

that all men shall stand before him,

to be judged at the last and judgment day, according to their works.

Alma 34:1

And now it came to pass that

after Alma had spoken these words unto them

he sat down upon the ground,

and Amulek arose and began to teach them, saying:

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 34:7

My brother has called upon the words of Zenos,

that redemption cometh through the Son of God,

and also upon the words of Zenock;

and also he has appealed unto Moses, to prove that these things are true.

Alma 34:8

And now, behold, I will testify unto you of myself that these things are true.

Behold, I say unto you, that I do know

that Christ shall come among the children of men,

to take upon him the transgressions of his people,

and that he shall atone for the sins of the world;

for the Lord God hath spoken it.

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 34:16

And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice,

and encircles them in the arms of safety,

while he that exercises no faith unto repentance

is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice;

therefore only unto him that has faith unto repentance

is brought about the great and eternal plan of redemption.

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 34:18

Yea, cry unto him for mercy; for he is mighty to save.

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,

and the devil hath all power over you;

and this is the final state of the wicked.

Alma 34:36

And this I know, because the Lord hath said

he dwelleth not in unholy temples,

but in the hearts of the righteous doth he dwell;

yea, and he has also said

that the righteous shall sit down in his kingdom, to go no more out;

but their garments should be made white through the blood of the Lamb.

Alma 34:38

That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost,

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.

Alma 34:39

Yea, and I also exhort you, my brethren,

that ye be watchful unto prayer continually,

that ye may not be led away by the temptations of the devil,

that he may not overpower you,

that ye may not become his subjects at the last day;

for behold, he rewardeth you no good thing.

Alma 35:9

And he breathed out many threatenings against them.

And now the people of Ammon did not fear their words;

therefore they did not cast them out,

but they did receive all the poor of the Zoramites that came over unto them;

and they did nourish them, and did clothe them,

and did give unto them lands for their inheritance;

and they did administer unto them according to their wants.

Alma 35:16

Therefore, he caused that his sons should be gathered together,

that he might give unto them every one his charge, separately,

concerning the things pertaining unto righteousness.

And we have an account of his commandments, which he gave unto them

according to his own record.
