Alma 48:17

Yea, verily, verily I say unto you,

if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni,

behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever;

yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.

Alma 49:22

Now when they found

that they could not obtain power over the Nephites by the pass,

they began to dig down their banks of earth

that they might obtain a pass to their armies,

that they might have an equal chance to fight;

but behold, in these attempts they were swept off

by the stones and arrows which were thrown at them;

and instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth,

they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.

Alma 49:23

Thus the Nephites had all power over their enemies;

and thus the Lamanites did attempt to destroy the Nephites

until their chief captains were all slain;

yea, and more than a thousand of the Lamanites were slain;

while, on the other hand,

there was not a single soul of the Nephites which was slain.
