Alma 42:17

Now, how could a man repent except he should sin?

How could he sin if there was no law?

How could there be a law save there was a punishment?

Alma 42:22

But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and a repentance granted;

which repentance, mercy claimeth;

otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law,

and the law inflicteth the punishment;

if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed,

and God would cease to be God.
