Alma 61:1

Behold, now it came to pass that

soon after Moroni had sent his epistle unto the chief governor,

he received an epistle from Pahoran, the chief governor.

And these are the words which he received:

Alma 61:2

I, Pahoran, who am the chief governor of this land,

do send these words unto Moroni, the chief captain over the army.

Behold, I say unto you, Moroni,

that I do not joy in your great afflictions,

yea, it grieves my soul.

Alma 61:4

And it is those who have sought to take away the judgment-seat from me

that have been the cause of this great iniquity;

for they have used great flattery,

and they have led away the hearts of many people,

which will be the cause of sore affliction among us;

they have withheld our provisions, and have daunted our freemen

that they have not come unto you.

Alma 61:5

And behold, they have driven me out before them,

and I have fled to the land of Gideon,

with as many men as it were possible that I could get.

Alma 61:9

And now, in your epistle you have censured me,

but it mattereth not;

I am not angry, but do rejoice in the greatness of your heart.

I, Pahoran, do not seek for power, save only to retain my judgment-seat

that I may preserve the rights and the liberty of my people.

My soul standeth fast in that liberty in the which God hath made us free.

Alma 61:12

We would subject ourselves to the yoke of bondage

if it were requisite with the justice of God,

or if he should command us so to do.

Alma 61:19

And now, Moroni, I do joy in receiving your epistle,

for I was somewhat worried concerning what we should do,

whether it should be just in us to go against our brethren.
