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 61:9

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 61:10

And now, behold, we will resist wickedness even unto bloodshed.

We would not shed the blood of the Lamanites

if they would stay in their own land.

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.

Alma 61:21

See that ye strengthen Lehi and Teancum in the Lord;

tell them to fear not,

for God will deliver them,

yea, and also all those who stand fast in that liberty

wherewith God hath made them free.

And now I close mine epistle to my beloved brother, Moroni.
