21 And thus for three years did the people of Nephi have continual peace in all the land.
22 And Alma and Amulek went forth preaching repentance to the people in their temples, and in their sanctuaries, and also in their synagogues, which were built after the manner of the Jews.
23 And as many as would hear their words, unto them they did impart the word of God, without any respect of persons, continually.
24 And thus did Alma and Amulek go forth, and also many more who had been chosen for the work, to preach the word throughout all the land.
25 And the establishment of the church became general throughout the land, in all the region round about, among all the people of the Nephites.
26 And there was no inequality among them, for the Lord did pour out his Spirit on all the face of the land, to prepare the minds of the children of men, or to prepare their hearts to receive the word which should be taught among them at the time of his coming,
27 That they might not be hardened against the word, that they might not be unbelieving, and go on to destruction,
28 But that they might receive the word with joy, and as a branch be grafted into the true vine, that they might enter into the rest of the Lord their God.
29 Now those priests who did go forth among the people, did preach against all lyings, and deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and malice, and revilings, and stealing, robbing, plundering, murdering, committing adultery, and all manner of lasciviousness, crying that these things ought not so to be;
30 Holding forth things which must shortly come; yea, holding forth the coming of the Son of God, his sufferings and death, and also the resurrection of the dead.
31 And many of the people did inquire concerning the place where the Son of God should come; and they were taught that he would appear unto them after his resurrection; and this the people did hear with great joy and gladness.
