Alma 48:16

And also, that God would make it known unto them

whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies,

and by so doing, the Lord would deliver them;

and this was the faith of Moroni,

and his heart did glory in it;

not in the shedding of blood

but in doing good, in preserving his people,

yea, in keeping the commandments of God,

yea, and resisting iniquity.

Alma 48:23

Now, they were sorry to take up arms against the Lamanites,

because they did not delight in the shedding of blood;

yea, and this was not all —

they were sorry to be the means of sending so many of their brethren

out of this world into an eternal world, unprepared to meet their God.
