Alma 36:2

I would that ye should do as I have done,

in remembering the captivity of our fathers;

for they were in bondage, and none could deliver them

except it was the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

and he surely did deliver them in their afflictions.

Alma 36:4

And I would not that ye think that I know of myself —

not of the temporal but of the spiritual,

not of the carnal mind but of God.

Alma 37:18

For he promised unto them

that he would preserve these things for a wise purpose in him,

that he might show forth his power unto future generations.

Alma 37:43

And now, my son, I would that ye should understand

that these things are not without a shadow;

for as our fathers were slothful to give heed to this compass

(now these things were temporal)

they did not prosper;

even so it is with things which are spiritual.

Alma 37:44

For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ,

which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss,

as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass,

which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land.

Alma 37:46

O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way;

for so was it with our fathers;

for so was it prepared for them,

that if they would look they might live;

even so it is with us.

The way is prepared,

and if we will look we may live forever.
