Alma 42:13, 25

Alma 42:13

Therefore, according to justice,

the plan of redemption could not be brought about,

only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state,

yea, this preparatory state;

for except it were for these conditions,

mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice.

Now the work of justice could not be destroyed;

if so, God would cease to be God.

Alma 42:25

What, do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice?

I say unto you,

Nay; not one whit.

If so, God would cease to be God.
