66 Behold, they have labored exceedingly, and have brought forth much fruit; and how great shall be their reward.

67 Now when I think of the success of these my brethren, my soul is carried away, even to the separation of it from the body, as it were, so great is my joy.

68 And now may God grant unto these my brethren, that they may sit down in the kingdom of God; yea, and also all those who are the fruit of their labors that they may go no more out, but that they may praise him for ever.

69 And may God grant that it may be done according to my words, even as I have spoken. Amen.

Alma 16
1 Behold, now it came to pass that after the people of Ammon were established in the land of Jershon, yea, and also after the Lamanites were driven out of the land, and their dead were buried by the people of the land;

2 Now their dead were not numbered, because of the greatness of their numbers, neither were the dead of the Nephites numbered;

3 But it came to pass after they had buried their dead, and also after the days of fastings, and mourning, and prayer, (and it was in the sixteenth year of the reign of the Judges over the people of Nephi,) there began to be continual peace throughout all the land, yea, and the people did observe to keep the commandments of the Lord;

4 And they were strict in observing the ordinances of God, according to the Law of Moses; for they were taught to keep the Law of Moses, until it should be fulfilled;

5 And thus the people did have no disturbance in all the sixteenth year of the reign of the Judges over the people of Nephi.

6 And it came to pass in the seventeenth year of the reign of the Judges, there was continual peace.

7 But it came to pass in the latter end of the seventeenth year, there came a man into the land of Zarahemla; and he was antichrist, for he began to preach unto the people against the prophecies which had been spoken by the prophets concerning the coming of Christ.
