Alma 49:6

Alma 46:15

And those who did belong to the church were faithful;

yea, all those who were true believers in Christ

took upon them, gladly, the name of Christ,

or Christians as they were called,

because of their belief in Christ who should come.

Alma 46:21

And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words,

behold, the people came running together

with their armor girded about their loins,

rending their garments in token, or as a covenant,

that they would not forsake the Lord their God;

or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God,

or fall into transgression,

and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ,

the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

Alma 49:6

Now the leaders of the Lamanites had supposed,

because of the greatness of their numbers,

yea, they supposed that they should be privileged

to come upon them as they had hitherto done;

yea, and they had also prepared themselves with shields, and with breastplates;

and they had also prepared themselves with garments of skins,

yea, very thick garments to cover their nakedness.
