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 61:9

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.
