Alma 39:2

For thou didst not give so much heed unto my words

as did thy brother, among the people of the Zoramites.

Now this is what I have against thee;

thou didst go on unto boasting in thy strength and thy wisdom.

Alma 39:7

And now, my son, I would to God that ye had not been guilty of so great a crime.

I would not dwell upon your crimes, to harrow up your soul,

if it were not for your good.

Alma 39:17

And now I will ease your mind somewhat on this subject.

Behold, you marvel why these things should be known so long beforehand.

Behold, I say unto you,

is not a soul at this time as precious unto God

as a soul will be at the time of his coming?

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 41:6

If he hath repented of his sins,

and desired righteousness until the end of his days,

even so he shall be rewarded unto righteousness.

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 42:22

But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and a repentance granted;

which repentance, mercy claimeth;

otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law,

and the law inflicteth the punishment;

if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed,

and 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.
