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 41:4

and if their works are evil

they shall be restored unto them for evil.

Therefore, all things shall be restored to their proper order,

every thing to its natural frame —

mortality raised to immortality,

corruption to incorruption —

raised to endless happiness to inherit the kingdom of God,

or to endless misery to inherit the kingdom of the devil,

the one on one hand, the other on the other —

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.

Alma 42:21

and if there was no law given, if men sinned

what could justice do, or mercy either,

for they would have no claim upon the creature?
