Alma 43:8

For behold, his designs were to stir up the Lamanites to anger against the Nephites;

this he did that he might usurp great power over them,

and also that he might gain power over the Nephites

by bringing them into bondage.

Alma 43:45

Nevertheless, the Nephites were inspired by a better cause,

for they were not fighting for monarchy nor power

but they were fighting for their homes and their liberties,

their wives and their children, and their all,

yea, for their rites of worship and their church.

Alma 43:50

And they began to stand against the Lamanites with power;

and in that selfsame hour that they cried unto the Lord for their freedom,

the Lamanites began to flee before them;

and they fled even to the waters of Sidon.

Alma 44:2

Behold, we have not come out to battle against you

that we might shed your blood for power;

neither do we desire to bring any one to the yoke of bondage.

But this is the very cause for which ye have come against us;

yea, and ye are angry with us because of our religion.

Alma 44:5

And now, Zerahemnah, I command you,

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 44:7

And now, if ye do not this,

behold, ye are in our hands,

and I will command my men that they shall fall upon you,

and inflict the wounds of death in your bodies,

that ye may become extinct;

and then we will see who shall have power over this people;

yea, we will see who shall be brought into bondage.
