Alma 39:1

And now, my son, I have somewhat more to say unto thee

than what I said unto thy brother;

for behold, have ye not observed the steadiness of thy brother,

his faithfulness, and his diligence in keeping the commandments of God?

Behold, has he not set a good example for thee?

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;

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 39:10

to counsel with your elder brothers in your undertakings;

And give heed to their counsel.

for behold, you cannot carry them with you.

And then shall it come to pass, that

the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are evil —

for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord;

for behold, they chose evil works rather than good;

therefore the spirit of the devil did enter into them,

and take possession of their house —

and these shall be cast out into outer darkness;

there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth,

and this because of their own iniquity,

being led captive by the will of the devil.

Alma 41:1

And now, my son, I have somewhat to say

concerning the restoration of which has been spoken;

for behold, some have wrested the scriptures,

and have gone far astray because of this thing.

And I perceive that thy mind has been worried also concerning this thing.

But behold, I will explain it unto thee.

Alma 41:7

These are they that are redeemed of the Lord;

yea, these are they that are taken out,

that are delivered from that endless night of darkness;

and thus they stand or fall;

for behold, they are their own judges,

whether to do good or do evil.

Alma 42:2

Now behold, my son, I will explain this thing unto thee.

for behold, after the Lord God sent our first parents forth from the garden of Eden,

to till the ground, from whence they were taken —

yea, he drew out the man,

and he placed at the east end of the garden of Eden, cherubim,

and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the tree of life —

Alma 42:5

for behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately,

and partaken of the tree of life,

he would have lived forever, according to the word of God,

having no space for repentance;

yea, and also the word of God would have been void,

and the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated.

Alma 42:24

for behold, justice exerciseth all his demands,

and also mercy claimeth all which is her own;

and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved.
