Alma 61:3, 4, 8, 9

Alma 61:3

But behold, there are those who do joy in your afflictions,

yea, insomuch that they have risen up in rebellion against me,

and also those of my people who are freemen,

yea, and those who have risen up are exceedingly numerous.

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 61:8

They have got possession of the land, or the city, of Zarahemla;

they have appointed a king over them,

and he hath written unto the king of the Lamanites,

in the which he hath joined an alliance with him;

in the which alliance he hath agreed to maintain the city of Zarahemla,

which maintenance he supposeth will enable

the Lamanites to conquer the remainder of the land,

and he shall be placed king over this people

when they shall be conquered under the Lamanites.

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.
