And now the design of the Nephites was to support their lands, and their houses,

that they might worship God according to their desires.

Yea, and they also knew the extreme hatred of the Lamanites

towards their brethren, who were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi,

they would be destroyed.

Behold, we have not come out to battle against you

that we might shed your blood for power;

in the name of that all-powerful God, who has strengthened our arms

that we have gained power over you, by our faith,

by our religion, and by our rites of worship, and by our church,

and by the sacred support which we owe to our wives and our children,

by that liberty which binds us to our lands and our country;

yea, and also by the maintenance of the sacred word of God,

to which we owe all our happiness;

and by all that is most dear unto us —

Alma 44:6

Yea, and this is not all;

I command you by all the desires which ye have for life,

but we will spare your lives, if ye will go your way

and come not again to war against us.

to the sharp swords of the Nephites;

even as the soldier of Moroni had prophesied.
