if it were not for your good.

Alma 39:9

Now my son, I would that ye should repent and forsake your sins,

and go no more after the lusts of your eyes,

but cross yourself in all these things;

Oh, remember, and take it upon you,

and cross yourself in these things.

And now, my son, all men that are in a state of nature,

or I would say, in a carnal state,

they are without God in the world,

and they have gone contrary to the nature of God;

therefore, they are in a state contrary to the nature of happiness.
