Alma 40:12

And then shall it come to pass, that

the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness,

which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace,

where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow.

Alma 40:15

Now, there are some that have understood

that this state of happiness

and this state of misery of the soul, before the resurrection,

was a first resurrection.

Yea, I admit it may be termed a resurrection,

the raising of the spirit or the soul and their consignation to happiness or misery,

according to the words which have been spoken.

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 41:11

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 42:8

Now behold, it was not expedient

that man should be reclaimed from this temporal death,

for that would destroy the great plan of happiness.

Alma 42:16

Now, repentance could not come unto men

except there were a punishment,

which also was eternal as the life of the soul

should be, affixed opposite to the plan of happiness,

which was as eternal also as the life of the soul.
