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?

if it were not for your good.

Command thy children to do good,

lest they lead away the hearts of many people to destruction;

Alma 40:11

Now, concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrection —

Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel,

that the spirits of all men,

as soon as they are departed from this mortal body,

yea, the spirits of all men,

whether they be good or evil,

are taken home to that God who gave them life.

Alma 40:13

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 41:3

And it is requisite with the justice of God

that men should be judged according to their works;

and if their works were good in this life,

and the desires of their hearts were good,

that they should also, at the last day, be restored unto that which is good.

Alma 41:5

The one raised to happiness according to his desires of happiness,

or good according to his desires of good;

and the other to evil according to his desires of evil;

for as he has desired to do evil all the day long

even so shall he have his reward of evil when the night cometh.

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 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.

Alma 41:14

Therefore, my son, see that you are merciful unto your brethren;

deal justly, judge righteously, and do good continually;

and if ye do all these things then shall ye receive your reward;

yea, ye shall have mercy restored unto you again;

ye shall have justice restored unto you again;

ye shall have a righteous judgment restored unto you again;

and ye shall have good rewarded unto you again.

that he should not partake of the fruit —
