Alma 39:5

Know ye not, my son, that these things are an abomination in the sight of the Lord;

yea, most abominable above all sins

save it be the shedding of innocent blood or denying the Holy Ghost?

Alma 39:12

And now the Spirit of the Lord doth say unto me:

Command thy children to do good,

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

therefore I command you, my son, in the fear of God,

that ye refrain from your iniquities;

Alma 40:25

And then shall the righteous shine forth in the kingdom of God.

Alma 41:11

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

or I would say, in a carnal state,

are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity;

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.

Alma 42:1

And now, my son, I perceive there is somewhat more

which doth worry your mind, which ye cannot understand —

which is concerning the justice of God in the punishment of the sinner;

for ye do try to suppose that it is injustice

that the sinner should be consigned to a state of misery.

Alma 42:14

And thus we see that all mankind were fallen,

and they were in the grasp of justice;

yea, the justice of God, which consigned them forever

to be cut off from his presence.

Alma 42:27

Therefore, O my son, whosoever will come

may come and partake of the waters of life freely;

and whosoever will not come

the same is not compelled to come;

but in the last day it shall be restored unto him according to his deeds.

Alma 42:30

O my son, I desire that ye should deny the justice of God no more.

Do not endeavor to excuse yourself in the least point because of your sins,

by denying the justice of God;

but do you let the justice of God, and his mercy,

and his long-suffering have full sway in your heart;

and let it bring you down to the dust in humility.
