Alma 39:2

For thou didst not give so much heed unto my words

as did thy brother, among the people of the Zoramites.

Now this is what I have against thee;

thou didst go on unto boasting in thy strength and thy wisdom.

Alma 39:3

And this is not all, my son.

Thou didst do that which was grievous unto me;

for thou didst forsake the ministry,

and did go over into the land of Siron

among the borders of the Lamanites,

after the harlot Isabel.

Alma 39:6

For behold, if ye deny the Holy Ghost when it once has had place in you,

and ye know that ye deny it,

behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable;

yea, and whosoever murdereth against the light and knowledge of God,

it is not easy for him to obtain forgiveness;

yea, I say unto you, my son,

that it is not easy for him to obtain a forgiveness.

Alma 40:5

Now, whether there shall be one time, or a second time, or a third time,

that men shall come forth from the dead,

it mattereth not;

for God knoweth all these things;

and it sufficeth me to know that this is the case —

that there is a time appointed that all shall rise from the dead.

Alma 40:9

Therefore, there is a time appointed unto men that they shall rise from the dead;

and there is a space between the time of death and the resurrection.

And now, concerning this space of time,

what becometh of the souls of men is the thing

which I have inquired diligently of the Lord to know;

and this is the thing of which I do know.

Alma 40:14

Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked,

yea, in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for

the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them;

thus they remain in this state,

as well as the righteous in paradise,

until the time of their resurrection.

Alma 40:17

Now, we do not suppose

that this first resurrection, which is spoken of in this manner,

can be the resurrection of the souls

and their consignation to happiness or misery.

Ye cannot suppose that this is what it meaneth.

Alma 40:24

And now, my son, this is the restoration

of which has been spoken by the mouths of the prophets —

Alma 41:13

O, my son, this is not the case;

but the meaning of the word restoration is to bring back again evil for evil,

or carnal for carnal, or devilish for devilish —

good for that which is good;

righteous for that which is righteous;

just for that which is just;

merciful for that which is merciful.
