1 Nephi 1:1 I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore, I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father, And having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days, Yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, Therefore, I make a record of my proceedings in my days; Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews, and the language of the Egyptians;

1 Nephi 1:7 And being thus overcome with the Spirit, he was carried away in a vision, even that he saw the heavens open, And he thought he saw God sitting upon His throne surrounded with numberless concourses of angels in the attitude of singing and praising their God.

1 Nephi 1:13 And it came to pass that when my father had read and saw many great and marvelous things, he did exclaim many things unto the Lord, such as: "Great and marvelous are Thy works, O Lord God Almighty! Thy throne is high in the heavens! And Thy power and goodness and mercy are over all the inhabitants of the earth; And because Thou art merciful, Thou wilt not suffer those who come unto Thee, that they shall perish!"

1 Nephi 1:14 And after this manner was the language of my father in the praising of his God, For his soul did rejoice and his whole heart was filled because of the things which he had seen, yea, which the Lord had shown unto him.

1 Nephi 1:34 And it came to pass that he built an altar of stones, And he made an offering unto the Lord and gave thanks unto the Lord our God.

1 Nephi 1:41 And they did murmur because they knew not the dealings of that God who had created them;

1 Nephi 1:47 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, being exceeding young, nevertheless, being large in stature, And also having great desires to know of the mysteries of God,

1 Nephi 1:82 "And behold, it is wisdom in God that we should obtain these records, that we might preserve unto our children the language of our fathers,

1 Nephi 1:83 And also that we may preserve unto them the words which have been spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets which have been delivered unto them by the Spirit and power of God since the world began, even down unto this present time."

1 Nephi 1:84 And it came to pass that after this manner of language did I persuade my brethren, that they might be faithful in keeping the commandments of God.

1 Nephi 1:149 And it had come to pass that my father spake unto her, saying: "I know that I am a visionary man, For if I had not seen the things of God in a vision, I should not have known the goodness of God, but had tarried at Jerusalem and had perished with my brethren.

1 Nephi 1:157 And it came to pass that they did rejoice exceedingly and did offer sacrifice and burnt offerings unto the Lord; And they gave thanks unto the God of Israel.

1 Nephi 1:158 And after that they had given thanks unto the God of Israel, my father Lehi took the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass and he did search them from the beginning;

1 Nephi 1:166 And they were also led out of captivity and out of the Land of Egypt by that same God who had preserved them;

1 Nephi 2:3 And it mattereth not to me that I am particular to give a full account of all the things of my father, for they cannot be written upon these plates, for I desire the room that I may write of the things of God,

1 Nephi 2:4 For the fullness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob and be saved;

1 Nephi 2:5 Wherefore, the things which are pleasing unto the world I do not write, but the things which are pleasing unto God and unto them which are not of the world;

1 Nephi 2:34 And it came to pass that I did frankly forgive them all that they had done, And I did exhort them that they would pray unto the Lord their God for forgiveness.

1 Nephi 2:38 And after that I and my brethren and all the house of Ishmael had come down unto the tent of my father, They did give thanks unto the Lord their God,

1 Nephi 3:4 Yea, even six hundred years from the time that my father left Jerusalem, a Prophet would the Lord God raise up among the Jews, Yea, even a Messiah, or in other words, a Savior of the world.

1 Nephi 3:12 And after that he had baptized the Messiah with water, he should behold and bear record that he had baptized the Lamb of God which should take away the sin of the world.

1 Nephi 3:24 And also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he received by faith on the Son of God,

1 Nephi 3:25 And the Son of God was the Messiah which should come -

1 Nephi 3:26 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, was desirous also that I might see and hear and know of these things by the power of the Holy Ghost, which is the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek Him, as well in times of old as in the time that He should manifest Himself unto the children of men,

1 Nephi 3:30 And the mysteries of God shall be unfolded to them by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in this time as in times of old,

1 Nephi 3:34 Wherefore, if ye have sought to do wickedly in the days of your probation, then ye are found unclean before the judgment seat of God,

1 Nephi 3:35 And no unclean thing can dwell with God, wherefore, ye must be cast off forever;

1 Nephi 3:43 And when I had spake these words, the Spirit cried with a loud voice, saying: "Hosanna to the Lord, the Most High God! for He is God over all the earth, yea, even above all!

1 Nephi 3:44 "And blessed art thou, Nephi, because thou believest in the Son of the Most High God; Wherefore, thou shalt behold the things which thou hast desired;

1 Nephi 3:45 And behold, this thing shall be given unto thee for a sign: That after thou hast beheld the tree which bore the fruit of which thy father tasted, thou shalt also behold a Man descending out of heaven, And Him shall ye witness; And after that ye shall have witnessed Him, ye shall bear record that it is the Son of God."

1 Nephi 3:56 And he saith unto me: "Knowest thou the Condescension of God?"

1 Nephi 3:58 And he said unto me: "Behold, the virgin which thou seest is the mother of God, after the manner of the flesh."

1 Nephi 3:62 And the angel said unto me: "Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Eternal Father!

1 Nephi 3:64 And I answered him, saying: "Yea, it is the love of God which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; Wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things."

1 Nephi 3:66 And after that he had said these words, he said unto me: "Look!" And I looked and I beheld the Son of God a going forth among the children of men;

1 Nephi 3:68 And it came to pass that I beheld that the rod of iron which my father had seen was the word of God which led to the fountain of living waters, or to the tree of life, which waters are a representation of the love of God;

1 Nephi 3:69 And I also beheld that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God.

1 Nephi 3:70 And the angel said unto me again: "Look and behold the Condescension of God."

1 Nephi 3:73 And the Lamb of God went forth and was baptized of him;

1 Nephi 3:82 And he spake unto me again, saying: "Look!" And I looked and I beheld the Lamb of God going forth among the children of men;

1 Nephi 3:85 And they were healed by the power of the Lamb of God, And the devils and the unclean spirits were cast out.

1 Nephi 3:86 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me again, saying: "Look!" And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, that He was taken by the people, Yea, the Everlasting God was judged of the world; And I saw and bear record;

1 Nephi 3:112 And I saw the heavens open and the Lamb of God descending out of heaven; And He came down and He showed Himself unto them;

1 Nephi 3:113 And I also saw and bear record that the Holy Ghost fell upon twelve others, And they were ordained of God and chosen.

1 Nephi 3:117 And behold, they are righteous forever, For because of their faith in the Lamb of God, their garments are made white in His blood."

1 Nephi 3:118 And the angel saith unto me: "Look!" And I looked and beheld three generations did pass away in righteousness; Their garments were white, even like unto the Lamb of God;

1 Nephi 3:127 And a great and a terrible gulf divideth them, Yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God and Jesus Christ, which is the Lamb of God, of whom the Holy Ghost beareth record from the beginning of the world until this time, And from this time henceforth and forever."

1 Nephi 3:140 And the angel said unto me: "Behold the formation of a church which is most abominable above all other churches, Which slayeth the saints of God, yea, and tortureth them, and bindeth them down, and yoketh them with a yoke of iron, and bringeth them down into captivity."

1 Nephi 3:144 And also for the praise of the world do they destroy the saints of God and bring them down into captivity."

1 Nephi 3:146 And it came to pass that the angel saith unto me: "Behold, the wrath of God is upon the seed of thy brethren!"

1 Nephi 3:147 And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles which were separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters; And I beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought upon the man, And he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed of my brethren which were in the Promised Land.

1 Nephi 3:148 And it came to pass that I beheld the Spirit of God, that it wrought upon other Gentiles; And they went forth out of captivity upon the many waters.

1 Nephi 3:150 And I beheld the wrath of God, that it was upon the seed of my brethren, And they were scattered before the Gentiles and they were smitten;

1 Nephi 3:154 And I beheld that the power of God was with them, And also that the wrath of God was upon all those that were gathered together against them to battle;

1 Nephi 3:155 And I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles which had gone out of captivity were delivered by the power of God out of the hands of all other nations;

1 Nephi 3:165 And the angel of the Lord said unto me: "Thou hast beheld that the book proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew; And when it proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew it contained the fullness of the gospel of the Lord, of whom the twelve apostles bore record, And they bore record according to the truth which is in the Lamb of God;

1 Nephi 3:166 Wherefore, these things go forth from the Jews in purity unto the Gentiles, according to the truth which is in God.

1 Nephi 3:171 "Wherefore, thou seest that after the book hath gone forth through the hands of the great and abominable church that there are many plain and most precious things taken away from the book, which is the book of the Lamb of God;

1 Nephi 3:174 And thou seest because of the many plain and precious things which have been taken out of the book - which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God -

1 Nephi 3:176 "Nevertheless, thou beholdest that the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity and have been lifted up above by the power of God above all other nations upon the face of the land - Which is choice above all other lands,

1 Nephi 3:177 Which is the land which the Lord God hath covenanted with thy father that his seed should have for the land of their inheritance - Wherefore, thou seest that the Lord God will not suffer that the Gentiles will utterly destroy the mixture of thy seed which is among thy brethren.

1 Nephi 3:179 Neither will the Lord God suffer that the Gentiles shall forever remain in that state of awful woundedness, which thou beholdest that they are in because of the plain and most precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb which hath been kept back by that abominable church, whose formation thou hast seen;

1 Nephi 3:180 'Wherefore, ' saith the Lamb of God, 'I will be merciful unto the Gentiles unto the visiting of the remnant of the house of Israel in great judgment.'"

1 Nephi 3:181 And it came to pass that the angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying: "' Behold, saith the Lamb of God, ' after that I have visited the remnant of the house of Israel - and this remnant of which I speak is the seed of thy father -

1 Nephi 3:190 And it came to pass that I beheld the remnant of the seed of my brethren, And also the book of the Lamb of God which had proceeded forth from the mouth of the Jew; And I beheld that it came forth from the Gentiles unto the remnant of the seed of my brethren;

1 Nephi 3:193 And shall make known to all kindreds, tongues and people that the Lamb of God is the Eternal Father and the Savior of the world, And that all men must come unto Him or they cannot be saved;

1 Nephi 3:197 For there is one God and one Shepherd over all the earth;

1 Nephi 3:201 "And it shall come to pass that if the Gentiles shall hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day that He shall manifest Himself unto them in word and also in power, in very deed, Unto the taking away of their stumbling blocks, if it so be that they harden not their hearts against the Lamb, And if it so be that they harden not their hearts against the Lamb of God, they shall be numbered among the seed of thy father,

1 Nephi 3:207 Yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the destruction of men shall be filled by those who digged it unto their utter destruction, " saith the Lamb of God -

1 Nephi 3:209 For behold, this is according to the captivity of the devil, And also according to the justice of God upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination before Him."

1 Nephi 3:213 Therefore, wo be unto the Gentiles if it so be that they harden their hearts against the Lamb of God,

1 Nephi 3:214 'For the time cometh, ' saith the Lamb of God, ' that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of men -

1 Nephi 3:221 The one is the church of the Lamb of God, And the other is the church of the devil;

1 Nephi 3:222 Wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church which is the mother of abominations,

1 Nephi 3:226 And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, And its numbers were few because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore which sat upon many waters;

1 Nephi 3:227 Nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, which were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth,

1 Nephi 3:229 And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together in multitudes upon the face of all the earth among all the nations of the Gentiles to fight against the Lamb of God.

1 Nephi 3:230 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb and upon the covenant people of the Lord which were scattered upon all the face of the earth;

1 Nephi 3:231 And they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.

1 Nephi 3:232 And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth;

1 Nephi 3:234 "Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots;

1 Nephi 3:236 And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil,

1 Nephi 3:248 But the things which thou shalt see hereafter, thou shalt not write, For the Lord God hath ordained the apostle of the Lamb of God, that he should write them,

1 Nephi 4:20 "And then at that day will they not rejoice and give praise unto their Everlasting God, their Rock and their Salvation?

1 Nephi 4:22 Yea, will they not come unto the true fold of God?

1 Nephi 4:39 And I said unto them that it was the word of God and that whoso would hearken unto the word of God and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish,

1 Nephi 4:42 Yea, I did exhort them with all the energies of my soul and with all the faculty which I possessed that they would give heed to the word of God and remember to keep His commandments always in all things.

1 Nephi 4:46 And I said unto them that it was an awful gulf which separateth the wicked from the tree of life, and also from the saints of God.

1 Nephi 4:48 And I said unto them that our father also saw that the justices of God did also divide the wicked from the righteous,

1 Nephi 4:49 And the brightness thereof was like unto the brightness of a flaming fire which ascendeth up unto God forever and ever and hath no end.

1 Nephi 4:54 Wherefore, they must be brought to stand before God to be judged of their works;

1 Nephi 4:56 And if they be filthy, it must needs be that they cannot dwell in the kingdom of God,

1 Nephi 4:57 If so, the kingdom of God must be filthy also;

1 Nephi 4:58 But behold I say unto you, the kingdom of God is not filthy, And there cannot any unclean thing enter into the kingdom of God

1 Nephi 4:61 Wherefore, the final state of the souls of men is to dwell in the kingdom of God, or to be cast out because of that justice of which I have spoken;

1 Nephi 4:63 Yea, and it is the greatest of all the gifts of God.

1 Nephi 5:3 "And now my brethren, if ye were righteous, and were willing to hearken to the truth, and give heed unto it, that ye might walk uprightly before God, Then ye would not murmur because of the truth and say, 'Thou speakest hard things against us.'"

1 Nephi 5:25 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel and the sons of Ishmael did begin to murmur exceedingly because of their sufferings and afflictions in the wilderness, And also my father began to murmur against the Lord his God; Yea, and they were all exceeding sorrowful, even that they did murmur against the Lord.

1 Nephi 5:27 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did speak much unto my brethren because that they had hardened their hearts again, even unto complaining against the Lord their God.

1 Nephi 5:58 And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled;

1 Nephi 5:59 And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God, He doth nourish them and strengthen them and provide ways and means whereby they can accomplish the thing which He hath commanded them;

1 Nephi 5:80 Yea, and the Lord said also that, "After ye have arrived to the Promised Land ye shall know that I, the Lord, am God,

1 Nephi 5:111 "Yea, and ye also know that Moses, by his word, according to the power of God which was in him, smote the rock and there came forth water that the children of Israel might quench their thirst.

1 Nephi 5:112 "And notwithstanding they being led - The Lord their God, their Redeemer, going before them, leading them by day, and giving light unto them by night, and doing all things for them which were expedient for man to receive - They hardened their hearts, and blinded their minds, and reviled against Moses, and against the true and living God.

1 Nephi 5:122 He that is righteous is favored of God;

1 Nephi 5:123 But behold, this people had rejected every word of God, And they were ripe in iniquity, And the fullness of the wrath of God was upon them;

1 Nephi 5:131 "And He loveth them which will have Him to be their God;

1 Nephi 5:136 "And they did harden their hearts from time to time, And they did revile against Moses and also against God;

1 Nephi 5:144 "Ye are swift to do iniquity, but slow to remember the Lord your God;

1 Nephi 5:152 Behold, I am full of the Spirit of God insomuch as if my frame had no strength."

1 Nephi 5:154 And as they came forth to lay their hands upon me, I spake unto them, saying: "In the name of the Almighty God I command you that ye touch me not, for I am filled with the power of God even unto the consuming of my flesh;

1 Nephi 5:155 And whoso shall lay their hands upon me shall wither even as a dried weed, And he shall be as naught before the power of God, for God shall smite him."

1 Nephi 5:156 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, saith unto them that they should murmur no more against their father, Neither should they withhold their labor from me, for God had commanded me that I should build a ship.

1 Nephi 5:157 And I saith unto them: "If God had commanded me to do all things, I could do it;

1 Nephi 5:162 Now they durst not do this lest they should wither before me, so powerful was the Spirit of God; And thus it had wrought upon them.

1 Nephi 5:163 And it came to pass that the Lord said unto me: "Stretch forth thine hand again unto thy brethren and they shall not wither before thee, but I will shock them, " saith the Lord; "And this will I do that they may know that I Am the Lord their God."

1 Nephi 5:167 Wherefore, worship the Lord thy God and honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee."

1 Nephi 5:197 And after that we had been driven back upon the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to see that the judgments of God were upon them and that they must perish save that they should repent of their iniquities;

1 Nephi 5:199 Nevertheless, I did look unto my God and I did praise Him all the day long, And I did not murmur against the Lord because of mine afflictions.

1 Nephi 5:202 Because of their grief and much sorrow and the iniquity of my brethren, they were brought near even to be carried out of this time to meet their God;

1 Nephi 5:207 And there was nothing, save it were the power of God which threatened them with destruction, could soften their hearts;

1 Nephi 5:233 Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample under their feet;

1 Nephi 5:239 And the God of our fathers, which were led out of Egypt out of bondage, and also were preserved in the wilderness by Him,

1 Nephi 5:240 Yea, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and the God of Jacob yieldeth Himself, according to the words of the angel, as a man into the hands of wicked men, To be lifted up, according to the words of Zenoch,

1 Nephi 5:245 For thus spake the prophet: "The Lord God surely shall visit all the house of Israel at that day -

1 Nephi 5:250 And because of the groanings of the earth, many of the kings of the isles of the sea shall be wrought upon by the Spirit of God to exclaim, 'The God of nature suffers! '

1 Nephi 5:251 "And as for they which are at Jerusalem, " saith the prophet, "they shall be scourged by all people, " saith the prophet, "because they crucified the God of Israel and turned their hearts aside, rejecting signs and wonders and power and glory of the God of Israel.

1 Nephi 6:8 "Hearken and hear this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, Which swear by the name of the Lord and make mention of the God of Israel, yet they swear not in truth nor in righteousness;

1 Nephi 6:9 Nevertheless, they call themselves of the holy city, But they do not stay themselves upon the God of Israel, which is the Lord of Hosts - Yea, the Lord of Hosts is His name:

1 Nephi 6:23 "Come ye near unto Me; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was declared have I spoken. And the Lord God and His Spirit hath sent Me."

1 Nephi 6:24 And thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I have sent Him, The Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way thou shouldst go, hath done it.

1 Nephi 6:34 Then I said, 'I have labored in vain. I have spent My strength for naught and in vain; Surely My judgment is with the Lord, And My work with My God.'

1 Nephi 6:35 "And now, saith the Lord that formed Me from the womb, that I should be His Servant to bring Jacob again to Him; Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, And My God shall be My strength.

1 Nephi 6:52 Thus saith the Lord God: "Behold, I will lift up Mine hand to the Gentiles and set up My standard to the people; And they shall bring thy sons in their arms, And thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders;

1 Nephi 7:15 "And it meaneth that the time cometh that after all the house of Israel have been scattered and confounded, that the Lord God will raise up a mighty nation among the Gentiles, Yea, even upon the face of this land;

1 Nephi 7:17 "And after that our seed is scattered, the Lord God will proceed to do a marvelous work among the Gentiles which shall be of great worth unto our seed;

1 Nephi 7:22 Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to make bare His arm in the eyes of all the nations in bringing about His covenants and His gospel unto they which are of the house of Israel.

1 Nephi 7:34 'For the time soon cometh that the fullness of the wrath of God shall be poured out upon all the children of men,

1 Nephi 7:44 'A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you like unto me; Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto you;

1 Nephi 7:67 And they testify that a man must be obedient to the commandments of God.

2 Nephi 1:2 And he spake unto them concerning their rebellions upon the waters and the mercies of God in sparing their lives, that they were not swallowed up in the sea;

2 Nephi 1:7 A land which the Lord God hath covenanted with me should be a land for the inheritance of my seed;

2 Nephi 1:18 "Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a promise that inasmuch as they which the Lord God shall bring out of the Land of Jerusalem shall keep His commandments, they shall prosper upon the face of this land,

2 Nephi 1:23 Behold I say, if the day shall come that they will reject the Holy One of Israel, the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God, Behold, the judgments of Him that is just shall rest upon them -

2 Nephi 1:31 My heart hath been weighed down with sorrow from time to time, For I have feared - lest for the hardness of your hearts, lest the Lord your God should come out in the fullness of His wrath upon you - that ye be cut off and destroyed forever,

2 Nephi 1:37 And also that ye may not incur the displeasure of a just God upon you unto the destruction, yea, the eternal destruction of both soul and body.

2 Nephi 1:40 Rebel no more against your brother, whose views have been glorious, And who hath kept the commandments from the time we left Jerusalem, And who hath been an instrument in the hands of God in bringing us forth into the Land of Promise,

2 Nephi 1:45 But I know that he hath not sought for power nor authority over you, But he hath sought the glory of God and your own eternal welfare.

2 Nephi 1:48 But behold, his sharpness was the sharpness of the power of the word of God which was in him;

2 Nephi 1:49 And that which ye call anger was the truth according to that which is in God, which he could not constrain, manifesting boldly concerning your iniquities;

2 Nephi 1:50 And it must needs be that the power of God must be with him, even unto his commanding you, that ye must obey;

2 Nephi 1:61 Nevertheless Jacob, my firstborn in the wilderness, thou knowest the greatness of God, And He shall consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain,

2 Nephi 1:62 Wherefore, thy soul shall be blessed, And thou shalt dwell safely with thy brother Nephi, And thy days shall be spent in the service of thy God.

2 Nephi 1:73 "Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, That they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits and mercy and grace of the Holy Messiah,

2 Nephi 1:76 "Wherefore, He is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as He shall make intercession for all the children of men;

2 Nephi 1:78 And because of the intercession for all, all men cometh unto God;

2 Nephi 1:87 Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy the wisdom of God and His eternal purposes, And also the power and the mercy and the justice of God.

2 Nephi 1:92 And if these things are not, there is no God;

2 Nephi 1:93 And if there is no God, we are not, neither the earth, For there could have been no creation of things, neither to act, nor to be acted upon; Wherefore, all things must have vanished away.

2 Nephi 1:95 For there is a God and He hath created all things - Both the heavens and the earth and all things that in them is,

2 Nephi 1:99 Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for himself;

2 Nephi 1:101 "And I, Lehi, according to the things which I have read, must needs suppose that an angel of God, according to that which is written, had fallen from heaven;

2 Nephi 1:102 Wherefore, he became a devil, having sought that which was evil before God;

2 Nephi 1:104 Wherefore, he saith unto Eve - yea, even that old serpent which is the devil, which is the father of all lies - wherefore, he saith, ' Partake of the forbidden fruit and ye shall not die, but ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.'

2 Nephi 1:107 And the days of the children of men were prolonged according to the will of God, that they might repent while in the flesh;

2 Nephi 1:108 Wherefore, their state became a state of probation, And their time was lengthened, according to the commandments which the Lord God gave unto the children of men,

2 Nephi 1:118 To act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the Lord at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.

2 Nephi 2:7 And he obtained a promise of the Lord that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel -

2 Nephi 2:10 "For Joseph truly testified, saying: ' A seer shall the Lord my God raise up which shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins ';

2 Nephi 2:46 And there shall raise up one mighty among them which shall do much good, both in word and in deed, Being an instrument in the hands of God, With exceeding faith

2 Nephi 2:47 to work mighty wonders and do that thing which is great in the sight of God, Unto the bringing to pass much restoration unto the house of Israel and unto the seed of thy brethren.'

2 Nephi 3:8 For the Lord God hath said that, 'Inasmuch as ye shall keep My commandments, ye shall prosper in the land;

2 Nephi 3:13 Wherefore, because of my blessing, the Lord God will not suffer that ye shall perish; Wherefore, He will be merciful unto you and unto your seed forever."

2 Nephi 3:35 My God hath been my support; He hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness, And He hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep;

2 Nephi 3:50 Rejoice, O my heart! and cry unto the Lord and say, O Lord, I will praise Thee forever! Yea, my soul will rejoice in Thee, My God and the Rock of my salvation.

2 Nephi 3:64 Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh;

2 Nephi 3:65 Yea, my God will give me if I ask not amiss; Therefore, I will lift up my voice unto Thee; Yea, I will cry unto Thee, my God, the Rock of my righteousness;

2 Nephi 3:66 Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto Thee, my Rock and mine Everlasting God. Amen.

2 Nephi 4:1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Nephi, did cry much unto the Lord my God because of the anger of my brethren,

2 Nephi 4:9 And all they which would go with me were they which believed in the warnings and the revelations of God, Wherefore, they did hearken unto my words -

2 Nephi 4:35 Wherefore, as they were white and exceeding fair and delightsome, That they might not be enticing unto my people, therefore, the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them;

2 Nephi 4:36 And thus saith the Lord God: "I will cause that they shall be loathsome unto thy people, save they shall repent of their iniquities;

2 Nephi 4:40 And the Lord God said unto me: "They shall be a scourge unto thy seed, to stir them up in remembrance of Me;

2 Nephi 4:46 And it came to pass that the Lord God said unto me: "Make other plates; And thou shalt engraven many things upon them which are good in My sight for the profit of thy people."

2 Nephi 4:48 And I engravened that which is pleasing unto God;

2 Nephi 4:49 And if my people be pleased with the things of God, they be pleased with mine engravings which are upon these plates;

2 Nephi 5:2 Behold, my beloved brethren, that I, Jacob, having been called of God and ordained after the manner of His holy order,

2 Nephi 5:12 And I speak them unto you for your sakes, that ye may learn and glorify the name of your God.

2 Nephi 5:17 "Thus saith the Lord God: 'Behold, I will lift up Mine hand to the Gentiles and set up My standard to the people;

2 Nephi 5:24 And He also hath shown unto me that the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, should manifest Himself unto them in the flesh;

2 Nephi 5:32 For the Lord God will fulfill His covenants which He hath made unto His children; And for this cause the prophet hath written these things:

2 Nephi 5:40 And they shall know that the Lord is God, the Holy One of Israel:

2 Nephi 5:42 But thus saith the Lord: "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible shall be delivered." For the Mighty God shall deliver His covenant people.

2 Nephi 5:55 "The Lord God hath given Me the tongue of the learned, That I should know how to speak a word in season unto thee, O house of Israel,

2 Nephi 5:58 The Lord God hath opened Mine ear and I was not rebellious, Neither turned away back.

2 Nephi 5:60 I hid not My face from shame and spitting. "For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore, shall I not be confounded;

2 Nephi 5:65 Let him come near Me and I will smite him with the strength of My mouth, For the Lord God will help Me;

2 Nephi 5:98 But I Am the Lord thy God, whose waves roared - The Lord of Hosts is My name.

2 Nephi 5:106 Thy sons have fainted, save these two; They lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net; They are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.

2 Nephi 5:108 Thus saith thy Lord - the Lord and thy God pleadeth the cause of His people:

2 Nephi 6:2 That He hath spoken unto the Jews by the mouth of His holy prophets, even from the beginning down, from generation to generation, Until the time cometh that they shall be restored to the true church and fold of God,

2 Nephi 6:4 Behold, my beloved brethren, I speak unto you these things that ye may rejoice and lift up your heads forever because of the blessings which the Lord God shall bestow upon your children,

2 Nephi 6:7 Nevertheless, in our bodies we shall see God.

2 Nephi 6:19 O the wisdom of God, His mercy and grace!

2 Nephi 6:20 For behold, if the flesh should rise no more, our spirits must become subject to that angel which fell from before the presence of the Eternal God and became the devil, to rise no more;

2 Nephi 6:21 And our spirits must have become like unto him, And we become devils - angels to a devil - to be shut out from the presence of our God and to remain with the father of lies, in misery like unto himself;

2 Nephi 6:24 O how great the goodness of our God! Who prepareth a way for our escape from the grasp of this awful monster -

2 Nephi 6:26 And because of the way of deliverance of our God, the Holy One of Israel, this death of which I have spoken, which is the temporal, shall deliver up its dead, which death is the grave;

2 Nephi 6:31 O how great the plan of our God! For on the other hand, the paradise of God must deliver up the spirits of the righteous, And the grave deliver up the bodies of the righteous,

2 Nephi 6:37 And then cometh the judgment; And then must they be judged according to the holy judgment of God;

2 Nephi 6:38 And assuredly as the Lord liveth - for the Lord God hath spoken it and it is His eternal word which cannot pass away - That they which are righteous shall be righteous still, And they which are filthy shall be filthy still;

2 Nephi 6:41 O the greatness and the justice of our God! For He executeth all His words, And they have gone forth out of His mouth and His law must be fulfilled.

2 Nephi 6:42 But behold, the righteous, the saints of the Holy One of Israel - They which have believed in the Holy One of Israel, They which have endured the crosses of the world and despised the shame of it - They shall inherit the kingdom of God which was prepared for them from the foundation of the world, And their joy shall be full forever.

2 Nephi 6:43 O the greatness of the mercy of our God, the Holy One of Israel! For He delivereth His saints from that awful monster the devil and death and hell, And that lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

2 Nephi 6:44 O how great the holiness of our God! For He knoweth all things and there is not anything save He knows it;

2 Nephi 6:48 And He commandeth all men that they must repent and be baptized in His name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God;

2 Nephi 6:50 For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, hath spoken it.

2 Nephi 6:55 And they are restored to that God who gave them breath, which is the Holy One of Israel.

2 Nephi 6:56 But wo unto him that hath the law given! Yea, that hath all the commandments of God, like unto us, and that transgresseth them and that wasteth the days of his probation, For awful is his state!

2 Nephi 6:59 When they are learned, they think they are wise and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, For they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves;

2 Nephi 6:61 But to be learned is good, if it so be that they hearken unto the counsels of God.

2 Nephi 6:63 For because that they are rich, they despise the poor, and they persecute the meek, and their hearts are upon their treasures; Wherefore, their treasure is their god;

2 Nephi 6:72 And in fine, wo unto all they that die in their sins! for they shall return to God and behold His face and remain in their sins.

2 Nephi 6:73 O my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God! And also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one;

2 Nephi 6:82 And there is none other way, save it be by the gate, For He cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is His name;

2 Nephi 6:84 And save they shall cast these things away and consider themselves fools before God and come down in the depths of humility, He will not open unto them;

2 Nephi 6:87 I pray the God of my salvation, that He view me with His all-searching eye;

2 Nephi 6:88 Wherefore, ye shall know at the last day, when all men shall be judged of their works, that the God of Israel did witness that I shook your iniquities from my soul, And that I stand with brightness before Him and am rid of your blood.

2 Nephi 6:90 Come unto that God who is the Rock of your salvation;

2 Nephi 6:92 That ye may not remember your awful guilt in perfectness and be constrained to exclaim, "Holy, holy are Thy judgments, O Lord God Almighty!

2 Nephi 6:98 Behold, my soul abhorreth sin, And my heart delighteth in righteousness, And I will praise the holy name of my God!

2 Nephi 6:103 Behold, my beloved brethren, remember the words of your God - Pray unto Him continually by day and give thanks unto His holy name by night;

2 Nephi 7:3 Wherefore, as it hath been shown unto me that many of our children shall perish in the flesh because of unbelief, nevertheless, God will be merciful unto many,

2 Nephi 7:6 And they shall crucify Him, for thus it behooveth our God;

2 Nephi 7:7 And there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their God,

2 Nephi 7:8 For should the mighty miracles be wrought among other nations, they would repent and know that He be their God;

2 Nephi 7:12 But behold, thus saith the Lord God: "When the day cometh that they shall believe in Me, that I Am Christ, Then have I covenanted with their fathers that they shall be restored in the flesh upon the earth unto the lands of their inheritance.

2 Nephi 7:14 And the nations of the Gentiles shall be great in the eyes of Me, " saith God, "in carrying them forth to the lands of their inheritance;

2 Nephi 7:17 "But behold, this land, " saith God, "shall be a land of thine inheritance; And the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land,

2 Nephi 7:20 And he that fighteth against Zion shall perish, " saith God; "For he that raiseth up a king against Me shall perish,

2 Nephi 7:25 For they which are not for Me are against Me, " saith our God;

2 Nephi 7:27 Wherefore my beloved brethren, thus saith our God: "I will afflict thy seed by the hand of the Gentiles;

2 Nephi 7:31 For it is a choice land, " saith God unto me, "above all other lands;

2 Nephi 7:32 Wherefore, I will have all men that dwell thereon that they shall worship Me, " saith God.

2 Nephi 7:33 And now my beloved brethren, seeing that our merciful God hath given us so great knowledge concerning these things, Let us remember Him and lay aside our sins and not hang down our heads, for we are not cast off.

2 Nephi 7:38 For behold, the Lord God hath led away from time to time from the house of Israel according to His will and pleasure.

2 Nephi 7:41 Wherefore my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God and not to the will of the devil and the flesh.

2 Nephi 7:42 And remember, that after ye are reconciled unto God, That it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved;

2 Nephi 7:43 Wherefore, may God raise you from death by the power of the resurrection, And also from everlasting death by the power of the atonement,

2 Nephi 7:44 That ye may be received into the eternal kingdom of God, That ye may praise Him through grace divine. Amen.

2 Nephi 8:5 "Wherefore, by the words of three, " God hath said, "I will establish My word";

2 Nephi 8:6 Nevertheless, God sendeth more witnesses and He proveth all His words.

2 Nephi 8:9 And all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world unto man are the typifying of Him.

2 Nephi 8:13 For if there be no Christ, there be no God; And if there be no God, we are not, for there could have been no creation;

2 Nephi 8:14 But there is a God, And He is Christ, And He cometh in the fullness of His own time.

2 Nephi 8:19 And many people shall go and say: "Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; And He will teach us of His ways, And we will walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

2 Nephi 8:53 What mean ye? Ye beat My people to pieces and grind the faces of the poor, " saith the Lord God of Hosts.

2 Nephi 8:86 But the Lord of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment, And God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

2 Nephi 9:20 Thus saith the Lord God: "It shall not stand! Neither shall it come to pass.

2 Nephi 9:24 "Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; Ask either in the depths, Or in the heights above."

2 Nephi 9:26 And he said: "Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, But will ye weary my God also?

2 Nephi 9:48 Take counsel together, and it shall come to naught; Speak the word, and it shall not stand, For God is with us."

2 Nephi 9:57 And when they shall say unto you, "Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto wizards that peep and mutter, " Should not a people seek unto their God? For the living to hear from the dead?

2 Nephi 9:59 And they shall pass through it hardly bestead and hungry; And it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry, They shall fret themselves and curse their King and their God and look upward.

2 Nephi 9:66 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

2 Nephi 9:102 The remnant shall return, yea, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the Mighty God.

2 Nephi 9:104 For the Lord God of Hosts shall make a consumption, even determined in all the land.

2 Nephi 9:105 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God of Hosts: "O My people that dwellest in Zion, Be not afraid of the Assyrian; He shall smite thee with a rod and shall lift up his staff against thee after the manner of Egypt.

2 Nephi 9:133 Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation."

2 Nephi 10:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldee's excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

2 Nephi 10:35 For thou hast said in thy heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north;

2 Nephi 11:4 Wherefore, I write unto my people, unto all they that shall receive hereafter these things which I write, That they may know the judgments of God, that they come upon all nations according to the word which He hath spoken.

2 Nephi 11:10 And I have made mention unto my children concerning the judgments of God which hath come to pass among the Jews - unto my children, according to all that which Isaiah hath spoken; And I do not write them;

2 Nephi 11:22 Behold, they will crucify Him. And after that He is laid in a sepulcher for the space of three days, He shall rise from the dead with healing in His wings; And all they that shall believe on His name shall be saved in the kingdom of God;

2 Nephi 11:24 And behold, it shall come to pass that after the Messiah hath risen from the dead and hath manifested Himself unto His people, unto as many as will believe on His name, Behold, Jerusalem shall be destroyed again, For wo unto them that fight against God and the people of His church!

2 Nephi 11:26 And after that they have been scattered and the Lord God hath scourged them by other nations for the space of many generations - Yea, even down from generation to generation until they shall be persuaded to believe in Christ, the Son of God, and the atonement, which is infinite for all mankind -

2 Nephi 11:36 And according to the words of the prophets, and also the word of the angel of God, His name should be Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2 Nephi 11:38 And as the Lord God liveth that brought Israel up out of the Land of Egypt, And gave unto Moses power that he should heal the nations, that after that they had been bitten by the poisonous serpents, if they would cast their eyes unto the serpent which he did raise up before them, And also gave him power that he should smite the rock and the water should come forth,

2 Nephi 11:39 Yea, behold I say unto you that as these things are true, And as the Lord God liveth, There is none other name given under heaven, save it be this Jesus Christ of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved.

2 Nephi 11:40 Wherefore, for this cause hath the Lord God promised unto me that these things which I write shall be kept and preserved and handed down unto my seed from generation to generation: That the promise may be fulfilled unto Joseph that his seed should never perish as long as the earth should stand.

2 Nephi 11:41 Wherefore, these things shall go from generation to generation as long as the earth shall stand; And they shall go according to the will and pleasure of God;

2 Nephi 11:43 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children and also our brethren to believe in Christ and to be reconciled to God,

2 Nephi 11:57 And inasmuch as it shall be expedient, ye must keep the performances and ordinances of God until the law shall be fulfilled which was given unto Moses.

2 Nephi 11:64 Wherefore, the cry of the blood of the saints shall ascend up to God from the ground against them.

2 Nephi 11:71 For I, Nephi, hath seen it; And it well nigh consumeth me before the presence of the Lord, But I must cry unto my God, "Thy ways are just!"

2 Nephi 11:78 And as I spake concerning the convincing of the Jews that Jesus is the very Christ, It must needs be that the Gentiles be convinced also that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, And that He manifesteth Himself unto all they that believe in Him by the power of the Holy Ghost,

2 Nephi 11:80 But behold, I prophesy unto you concerning the last days, Concerning the days when the Lord God shall bring these things forth unto the children of men,

2 Nephi 11:82 Yea, after that the Lord God shall have camped against them round about and shall have laid siege against them with a mount and raised forts against them;

2 Nephi 11:85 For the Lord God will give unto him power that he may whisper concerning them, even as it were out of the ground; And their speech shall whisper out of the dust.

2 Nephi 11:86 For thus saith the Lord God: "They shall write the things which shall be done among them, And they shall be written and sealed up in a book; And they that have dwindled in unbelief shall not have them, for they seek to destroy the things of God;

2 Nephi 11:88 Yea, " thus saith the Lord God, "it shall be at an instant, suddenly!"

2 Nephi 11:91 Nevertheless, they put down the power and the miracles of God, And preach up unto themselves their own wisdom and their own learning, that they may get gain and grind upon the face of the poor;

2 Nephi 11:95 For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in darkness;

2 Nephi 11:107 Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing! Wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment that all men should have charity, which charity is love;

2 Nephi 11:110 And again, the Lord God hath commanded that men should not murder, That they should not lie, That they should not steal, That they should not take the name of the Lord their God in vain, That they should not envy, That they should not have malice, That they should not contend one with another, That they should not commit whoredoms, And that they should not do any of these things;

2 Nephi 11:115 And He remembereth the heathen; And all are alike unto God - both Jew and Gentile.

2 Nephi 11:125 And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall bring forth unto you the words of a book; And they shall be the words of them which have slumbered;

2 Nephi 11:126 And behold, the book shall be sealed; And in the book shall be a revelation from God, from the beginning of the world to the ending thereof.

2 Nephi 11:130 For the book shall be sealed by the power of God; And the revelation which was sealed shall be kept in the book until the own due time of the Lord, that they may come forth; For behold, they reveal all things from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof.

2 Nephi 11:133 Wherefore, at that day when the book shall be delivered unto the man of whom I have spoken, The book shall be hid from the eyes of the world that the eyes of none shall behold it, Save it be that three witnesses shall behold it by the power of God, besides him to whom the book shall be delivered, And they shall testify to the truth of the book and the things therein;

2 Nephi 11:134 And there is none other which shall view it, Save it be a few according to the will of God, to bear testimony of His word unto the children of men; For the Lord God hath said that the words of the faithful should speak as if it were from the dead.

2 Nephi 11:135 Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to bring forth the words of the book; And in the mouth of as many witnesses as seemeth Him good will He establish His word; And wo be unto him that rejecteth the word of God!

2 Nephi 11:136 But behold, it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall say unto him to whom He shall deliver the book, "Take these words which are not sealed and deliver them to another, " That he may show them unto the learned, saying, "Read this, I pray thee."

2 Nephi 11:138 And now, because of the glory of the world and to get gain, will they say this, And not for the glory of God.

2 Nephi 11:141 Wherefore, it shall come to pass that the Lord God will deliver again the book and the words thereof to him that is not learned; And the man that is not learned shall say: "I am not learned."

2 Nephi 11:142 Then shall the Lord God say unto him: "The learned shall not read them, for they have rejected them, And I am able to do Mine own work; Wherefore, thou shalt read the words which I shall give unto thee;

2 Nephi 11:145 "For behold, I Am God and I Am a God of miracles; And I will show unto the world that I Am the same yesterday, today and forever; And I work not among the children of men, save it be according to their faith."

2 Nephi 11:159 But when he seeth his children, the work of My hands, in the midst of him, They shall sanctify My name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel;

2 Nephi 12:6 And they deny the power of God, the Holy One of Israel. And they say unto the people: "Hearken unto us and hear ye our precept,

2 Nephi 12:7 For behold, there is no God today, For the Lord and the Redeemer hath done His work, And He hath given His power unto men.

2 Nephi 12:8 "Behold, hearken ye unto my precept; If they shall say there is a miracle wrought by the hand of the Lord, believe it not, For this day He is not a God of miracles; He hath done His work."

2 Nephi 12:10 And there shall also be many which shall say, "Eat, drink and be merry, nevertheless fear God; He will justify in committing a little sin; Yea, lie a little, Take the advantage of one because of his words, Dig a pit for thy neighbor - There is no harm in doing these things;

2 Nephi 12:11 And do all these things, for tomorrow we die; And if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes, And at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God."

2 Nephi 12:18 O the wise and the learned and the rich that are puffed up in the pride of their hearts! And all they that preach false doctrines, And all they that commit whoredoms and pervert the right way of the Lord; "Wo! Wo! Wo be unto them!" saith the Lord God Almighty, "For they shall be thrust down to hell;

2 Nephi 12:20 For the day shall come that the Lord God will speedily visit the inhabitants of the earth; And in that day that they are fully ripe in iniquity, they shall perish.

2 Nephi 12:29 Yea, they are grasped with death and hell; And death and hell and the devil and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God and be judged according to their works, From whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

2 Nephi 12:31 Wo be unto him that crieth, "All is well"! Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men and denieth the power of God and the gift of the Holy Ghost!

2 Nephi 12:33 And in fine, wo unto all they that tremble and are angry because of the truth of God!

2 Nephi 12:35 Wo be unto him that shall say, "We have received the word of God and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough"!

2 Nephi 12:36 For behold, thus saith the Lord God: "I will give unto the children of men, Line upon line and precept upon precept, Here a little and there a little;

2 Nephi 12:40 "Wo be unto the Gentiles!" saith the Lord God of Hosts; "For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out Mine arm unto them from day to day, they will deny Me;

2 Nephi 12:41 Nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, " saith the Lord God, "if they will repent and come unto Me, For Mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, " saith the Lord God of Hosts.

2 Nephi 12:46 But thus saith the Lord God: "O fools! they shall have a Bible; And it shall proceed forth from the Jews, Mine ancient covenant people;

2 Nephi 12:56 Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men? And that I remember they which are upon the isles of the sea? And that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath?

2 Nephi 12:59 Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I Am God? That I remember one nation like unto another?

2 Nephi 12:74 And I will show unto them that fight against My word, And against My people, which are of the house of Israel, That I Am God and that I covenanted with Abraham, That I would remember his seed forever."

2 Nephi 12:76 For behold, except ye shall keep the commandments of God, ye shall all likewise perish; And because of the words which have been spoken, ye need not suppose that the Gentiles are utterly destroyed.

2 Nephi 12:83 And then shall they rejoice, For they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God;

2 Nephi 12:87 And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence His work among all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, To bring about the restoration of His people upon the earth.

2 Nephi 12:88 And with righteousness shall the Lord God judge the poor, And reprove with equity for the meek of the earth;

2 Nephi 12:90 For the time speedily cometh that the Lord God shall cause a great division among the people; And the wicked will He destroy, And He will spare His people, Yea, even if it so be that He must destroy the wicked by fire.

2 Nephi 13:4 For my soul delighteth in plainness, for after this manner doth the Lord God work among the children of men.

2 Nephi 13:5 For the Lord God giveth light unto the understanding, for He speaketh unto men according to their language unto their understanding;

2 Nephi 13:6 Wherefore, I would that ye should remember that I have spoken unto you concerning that prophet which the Lord showed unto me that should baptize the Lamb of God, which should take away the sin of the world.

2 Nephi 13:7 And now if the Lamb of God, He being holy, should have need to be baptized by water to fulfill all righteousness, O then, how much more need have we, being unholy, to be baptized, yea, even by water!

2 Nephi 13:8 And now I would ask of you, my beloved brethren, wherein the Lamb of God did fulfill all righteousness in being baptized by water - Know ye not that He was holy?

2 Nephi 13:16 Wherefore my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son with full purpose of heart, Acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, Witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ by baptism, Yea, by following your Lord and Savior down into the water according to His word, Behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost;

2 Nephi 13:21 And now my beloved brethren, I know by this that unless a man shall endure to the end in following the example of the Son of the living God, he cannot be saved.

2 Nephi 13:29 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, Having a perfect brightness of hope and a love of God and of all men.

2 Nephi 13:31 And now behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way, And there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God.

2 Nephi 13:32 And now behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, And the only and true doctrine of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God without end. Amen.

2 Nephi 15:4 For I pray for them continually by day, And mine eyes water my pillow by night because of them; And I cry unto my God in faith and I know that He will hear my cry; And I know that the Lord God will consecrate my prayers for the gain of my people;

2 Nephi 15:17 And you that will not partake of the goodness of God and respect the words of the Jews, And also my words and the words which shall proceed forth out of the mouth of the Lamb of God, Behold, I bid you an everlasting farewell, for these words shall condemn you at the last day,

Jacob 1:7 Wherefore, we labored diligently among our people that we might persuade them to come unto Christ and partake of the goodness of God, that they might enter into His rest, Lest by any means He should swear in His wrath they should not enter in, as in the provocation in the days of temptation while the children of Israel were in the wilderness.

Jacob 1:8 Wherefore, we would to God that we could persuade all men not to rebel against God, to provoke Him to anger, But that all men would believe in Christ and view His death and suffer His cross and bear the shame of the world; Wherefore, I, Jacob, take it upon me to fulfill the commandment of my brother Nephi.

Jacob 1:19 And we did magnify our office unto the Lord, taking upon us the responsibility, answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we did not teach them the word of God with all diligence;

Jacob 2:2 Now my beloved brethren, I, Jacob, according to the responsibility which I am under to God to magnify mine office with soberness, and that I might rid my garments of your sins, I come up into the temple this day that I might declare unto you the word of God;

Jacob 2:5 But behold, hearken ye unto me and know that by the help of the all-powerful Creator of heaven and earth, I can tell you concerning your thoughts, How that ye are beginning to labor in sin, which sin appeareth very abominable unto me, yea, and abominable unto God.

Jacob 2:7 And also it grieveth me that I must use so much boldness of speech concerning you before your wives and your children, many of whose feelings are exceeding tender and chaste and delicate before God, which thing is pleasing unto God;

Jacob 2:8 And it supposeth me that they have come up hither to hear the pleasing word of God, yea, the word which healeth the wounded soul.

Jacob 2:9 Wherefore, it burdeneth my soul that I should be constrained, because of the strict commandment which I have received from God, to admonish you according to your crimes, to enlarge the wounds of those which are already wounded, instead of consoling and healing their wounds;

Jacob 2:10 And those which have not been wounded, instead of feasting upon the pleasing word of God, have daggers placed to pierce their souls and wound their delicate minds;

Jacob 2:11 But notwithstanding the greatness of the task, I must do according to the strict commands of God and tell you concerning your wickedness and abominations in the presence of the pure in heart and the broken heart and under the glance of the piercing eye of the Almighty God;

Jacob 2:12 Wherefore, I must tell you the truth, according to the plainness of the word of God.

Jacob 2:17 And now my brethren, do ye suppose that God justifieth you in this thing? Behold, I say unto you, Nay;

Jacob 2:23 But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God;

Jacob 2:25 And now my brethren, I have spoken unto you concerning pride; And those of you which have afflicted your neighbor and persecuted him because that ye were proud in your hearts of the things which God hath given you, what say ye of it?

Jacob 2:31 But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes;

Jacob 2:35 Wherefore, I, the Lord God, will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old."

Jacob 2:36 Wherefore my brethren, hear me and hearken to the word of the Lord: "For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife, And concubines he shall have none; For I, the Lord God, delighteth in the chastity of women,

Jacob 2:46 Ye have broken the hearts of your tender wives and lost the confidence of your children because of your bad examples before them, And the sobbings of their hearts ascendeth up to God against you;

Jacob 2:47 And because of the strictness of the word of God which cometh down against you, many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds.

Jacob 2:49 Look unto God with firmness of mind and pray unto Him with exceeding faith, And He will console you in your afflictions, And He will plead your cause and send down justice upon those who seek your destruction;

Jacob 2:50 O all ye that are pure in heart, Lift up your heads and receive the pleasing word of God and feast upon His love, for ye may if your minds are firm forever.

Jacob 2:51 But wo, wo unto you that are not pure in heart, that are filthy this day before God! For except ye shall repent, the land is cursed for your sakes;

Jacob 2:53 And the time speedily cometh that except ye repent, they shall possess the land of your inheritance; And the Lord God will lead away the righteous out from among you.

Jacob 2:56 And now this commandment they observe to keep; Wherefore, because of this observance in keeping this commandment, the Lord God will not destroy them, but will be merciful unto them, And one day they shall become a blessed people.

Jacob 2:59 O my brethren, I fear that unless ye shall repent of your sins, that their skins will be whiter than yours when ye shall be brought with them before the throne of God.

Jacob 2:60 Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you which is the word of God, That ye revile no more against them because of the darkness of their skin, Neither shall ye revile against them because of their filthiness,

Jacob 3:6 And for this intent we keep the law of Moses, it pointing our souls to Him; And for this cause it is sanctified unto us for righteousness, Even as it was accounted unto Abraham in the wilderness to be obedient unto the commands of God in offering up his son Isaac, which was a similitude of God and His Only Begotten Son.

Jacob 3:8 Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weakness, that we may know that it is by His grace and His great condescensions unto the children of men that we have power to do these things.

Jacob 3:11 And no man knoweth of His ways, save it be revealed unto him; Wherefore brethren, despise not the revelations of God.

Jacob 3:13 Wherefore, if God being able to speak and the world was, and to speak and man was created, O then, why not able to command the earth, or the workmanship of His hands upon the face of it, according to His will and pleasure?

Jacob 3:17 That ye may obtain a resurrection, according to the power of the resurrection which is in Christ, And be presented as the firstfruits of Christ unto God, Having faith and obtained a good hope of glory in Him before He manifesteth Himself in the flesh.

Jacob 3:21 But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things, for God also spake them unto prophets of old.

Jacob 3:24 For God hath taken away His plainness from them and delivered unto them many things which they cannot understand, because they desired it;

Jacob 3:25 And because they desired it, God hath done it, that they may stumble.

Jacob 4:6 And how merciful is our God unto us! for He remembereth the house of Israel, both roots and branches, And He stretches forth His hands unto them all the day long;

Jacob 4:7 And they are a stiff-necked and a gainsaying people, But as many as will not harden their hearts shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

Jacob 4:8 Wherefore my beloved brethren, I beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent and come with full purpose of heart and cleave unto God as He cleaveth unto you;

Jacob 4:11 For behold, after that ye have been nourished by the good word of God all the day long, Will ye bring forth evil fruit, that ye must be hewn down and cast into the fire?

Jacob 4:13 Will ye reject the words of the prophets? And will ye reject all the words which have been spoken concerning Christ, after that so many have spoken concerning Him? And deny the good word of Christ and the power of God and the gift of the Holy Ghost? And quench the Holy Spirit and make a mock of the great plan of redemption which hath been laid for you?

Jacob 4:14 Know ye not that if ye will do these things, that the power of the redemption and the resurrection which is in Christ will bring you to stand with shame and awful guilt before the bar of God?

Jacob 4:18 Finally, I bid you farewell until I shall meet you before the pleasing bar of God, which bar striketh the wicked with awful dread and fear. Amen.

Jacob 5:10 And ye have led away much of this people, that they pervert the right way of God and keep not the law of Moses, which is the right way, And convert the law of Moses into the worship of a Being which ye say shall come many hundred years hence.

Jacob 5:13 But behold, the Lord God poured in His Spirit into my soul, insomuch that I did confound him in all his words.

Jacob 5:23 And I said unto him: "What am I, that I should tempt God to show unto thee a sign in the thing which thou knowest to be true?

Jacob 5:25 Nevertheless, not my will be done; But if God shall smite thee, let that be a sign unto thee that He hath power, both in heaven and in earth, And also, that Christ shall come;

Jacob 5:33 And he saith: "I fear lest I have committed the unpardonable sin, For I have lied unto God, for I denied the Christ and said that I believed the scriptures - And they truly testify of Him;

Jacob 5:34 And because that I have thus lied unto God, I greatly fear lest my case shall be awful; But I confess unto God."

Jacob 5:36 And when the multitude had witnessed that he spake these things as he was about to give up the ghost, they were astonished exceedingly, Insomuch that the power of God came down upon them and they were overcome, that they fell to the earth.

Jacob 5:38 And it came to pass that peace and the love of God was restored again among the people; And they searched the scriptures and hearkened no more to the words of this wicked man.

Jacob 5:41 Wherefore, the people of Nephi did fortify against them with their arms and with all their might, trusting in the God and the Rock of their salvation; Wherefore, they became as yet, conquerors of their enemies.

Enos 1:2 And blessed be the name of my God for it;

Enos 1:3 And I will tell you of the wrestle which I had before God, before that I received a remission of my sins.

Enos 1:8 And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; Wherefore, my guilt was swept away.

Enos 1:12 Now it came to pass that when I had heard these words, I began to feel a desire for the welfare of my brethren the Nephites; Wherefore, I did pour out my whole soul unto God for them.

Enos 1:19 And now behold, this was the desire which I desired of Him: That if it should so be that my people the Nephites, should fall into transgression and by any means be destroyed, and the Lamanites should not be destroyed, That the Lord God would preserve a record of my people the Nephites,

Enos 1:23 Wherefore, I, knowing that the Lord God was able to preserve our records, I cried unto Him continually,

Enos 1:25 And I had faith and I did cry unto God that He would preserve the records;

Enos 1:30 And I bear record that the people of Nephi did seek diligently to restore the Lamanites unto the true faith in God,

Enos 1:37 And there was nothing - save it was exceeding harshness, preaching and prophesying of wars and contentions and destructions, And continually reminding them of death and the duration of eternity and the judgments and the power of God,

Enos 1:43 And as I saw that I must soon go down to my grave - Having been wrought upon by the power of God that I must preach and prophesy unto this people and declare the word according to the truth which is in Christ,

Omni 1:23 And they were admonished continually by the word of God; And they were led by the power of His arm through the wilderness, until they came down into the land which is called the Land of Zarahemla,

Omni 1:35 And it came to pass in the days of Mosiah there was a large stone brought unto him with engravings on it, And he did interpret the engravings by the gift and power of God;

Omni 1:43 And it came to pass that I began to be old; And having no seed and knowing King Benjamin to be a just man before the Lord, Wherefore, I shall deliver up these plates unto him, Exhorting all men to come unto God, the Holy One of Israel,

Jarom 1:7 Nevertheless, God is exceeding merciful unto them and hath not as yet swept them off from the face of the land;

Jarom 1:23 And it came to pass that the prophets of the Lord did threaten the people of Nephi according to the word of God, That if they did not keep the commandments, but should fall into transgression, they should be destroyed from off the face of the land.

Words of Mormon 1:3 But may God grant that he may survive them, that he may write somewhat concerning them and somewhat concerning Christ, that perhaps someday it may profit them.

Words of Mormon 1:12 And my prayer to God is concerning my brethren, that they may once again come to the knowledge of God, yea, the redemption of Christ, That they may once again be a delightsome people.

Words of Mormon 1:13 And now I, Mormon, proceed to finish out my record which I take from the plates of Nephi, And I make it according to the knowledge and the understanding which God hath given me.

Words of Mormon 1:16 And I, Mormon, pray to God that they may be preserved from this time henceforth;

Words of Mormon 1:17 And I know that they will be preserved, For there are great things written upon them out of which my people and their brethren shall be judged at the great and last day, according to the word of God which is written.

Words of Mormon 1:26 And there were many holy men in the land and they did speak the word of God with power and with authority, And they did use much sharpness because of the stiffneckedness of the people -

Mosiah 1:4 And he also taught them concerning the records which were engraven on the plates of brass, saying: "My sons, I would that ye should remember that were it not for these plates which contain these records and these commandments, We must have suffered in ignorance, even at this present time, not knowing the mysteries of God;

Mosiah 1:6 For he having been taught in the language of the Egyptians, therefore he could read these engravings and teach them to his children, that thereby they could teach them to their children, And so fulfilling the commandments of God, even down to this present time.

Mosiah 1:7 "I say unto you my sons, were it not for these things which have been kept and preserved by the hand of God, that we might read and understand of His mysteries and have His commandments always before our eyes, That even our fathers would have dwindled in unbelief;

Mosiah 1:12 And I would that ye should keep the commandments of God, that ye may prosper in the land according to the promises which the Lord made unto our fathers."

Mosiah 1:16 For on the morrow I shall proclaim unto this my people, out of mine own mouth, that thou art a king and a ruler over this people which the Lord our God hath given us.

Mosiah 1:17 "And moreover, I shall give this people a name that thereby they may be distinguished above all the people which the Lord God hath brought out of the Land of Jerusalem; And this I do because they have been a diligent people in keeping the commandments of the Lord;

Mosiah 1:25 Therefore, as they were unfaithful, they did not prosper nor progress in their journey, but were driven back and incurred the displeasure of God upon them;

Mosiah 1:31 And also, that they might give thanks to the Lord their God who had brought them out of the Land of Jerusalem, And who had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies and had appointed just men to be their teachers, And also a just man to be their king

Mosiah 1:32 who had established peace in the Land of Zarahemla, And who had taught them to keep the commandments of God, that thereby they might rejoice and be filled with love toward God and all men.

Mosiah 1:39 For I have not commanded you to come up hither to trifle with the words which I shall speak, But that you should hearken unto me and open your ears, that ye may hear, And your hearts, that ye may understand, And your minds, that the mysteries of God may be unfolded to your view.

Mosiah 1:47 "Yet, my brethren, I have not done these things that I might boast, Neither do I tell these things that thereby I might accuse you; But I tell you these things that ye may know that I can answer a clear conscience before God this day.

Mosiah 1:48 "Behold I say unto you, that because I said unto you that I had spent my days in your service, I do not desire to boast, for I have only been in the service of God;

Mosiah 1:49 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom, That ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God.

Mosiah 1:51 And behold also, if I, whom ye call your king, who has spent his days in your service and yet hath been in the service of God, doth merit any thanks from you, O how had you ought to thank your heavenly King!

Mosiah 1:52 "I say unto you my brethren, that if you should render all the thanks and praise which your whole souls hath power to possess to that God who hath created you, And hath kept and preserved you, And hath caused that ye should rejoice, And hath granted that ye should live in peace, one with another -

Mosiah 1:64 Therefore, as I said unto you that I had served you, walking with a clear conscience before God, Even so, I at this time have caused that ye should assemble yourselves together, that I might be found blameless, And that your blood should not come upon me when I shall stand to be judged of God of the things whereof He hath commanded me concerning you.

Mosiah 1:66 that I might go down in peace, And my immortal spirit may join the choirs above in singing the praises of a just God.

Mosiah 1:69 But the Lord God doth support me and hath suffered me that I should speak unto you, And hath commanded me that I should declare unto you this day that my son Mosiah is a king and a ruler over you.

Mosiah 1:72 Even so, if ye shall keep the commandments of my son - or the commandments of God which shall be delivered unto you by him - Ye shall prosper in the land and your enemies shall have no power over you.

Mosiah 1:75 For he receiveth for his wages an everlasting punishment, having transgressed the law of God contrary to his own knowledge.

Mosiah 1:80 I say unto you, that the man that doeth these things, the same cometh out in open rebellion against God;

Mosiah 1:83 "Therefore, if that man repenteth not and remaineth and dieth an enemy to God, the demands of divine justice doth awaken his immortal soul to a lively sense of his own guilt,

Mosiah 1:88 "And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God,

Mosiah 1:90 And if they hold out faithful to the end, they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never - ending happiness.

Mosiah 1:91 "O remember, remember that these things are true, for the Lord God hath spoken it!

Mosiah 1:93 For behold, I have things to tell you concerning that which is to come; And the things which I shall tell you are made known unto me by an angel from God;

Mosiah 1:102 'And He shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and of earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; And His mother shall be called Mary;

Mosiah 1:107 'For behold, and also His blood atoneth for the sins of those who have fallen by the transgression of Adam, who hath died not knowing the will of God concerning them and who have ignorantly sinned.

Mosiah 1:108 'But wo, wo unto him who knoweth that he rebelleth against God! For salvation cometh to none such, except it be through repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mosiah 1:109 'And the Lord God hath sent His holy prophets among all the children of men to declare these things to every kindred, nation and tongue, That thereby whosoever should believe that Christ should come, the same might receive remission of their sins and rejoice with exceeding great joy, even as though He had already come among them.

Mosiah 1:110 'Yet the Lord God saw that His people were a stiff-necked people and He appointed unto them a law, even the law of Moses.

Mosiah 1:119 'For the natural man is an enemy to God and has been from the fall of Adam and will be forever and ever,

Mosiah 1:122 And behold, when that time cometh, none shall be found blameless before God, except it be little children, Only through repentance and faith on the name of the Lord God Omnipotent.

Mosiah 1:123 'And even at this time when thou shalt have taught thy people the things which the Lord thy God hath commanded thee, Even then are they found no more blameless in the sight of God, Only according to the words which I have spoken unto thee.'

Mosiah 1:124 "And now, I have spoken the words which the Lord God hath commanded me,

Mosiah 1:128 'Therefore, they have drunk out of the cup of the wrath of God, Which justice could no more deny unto them than it could deny that Adam should fall because of his partaking of the forbidden fruit; Therefore, mercy could have claim on them no more forever.

Mosiah 2:4 For we believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who created heaven and earth and all things, Who shall come down among the children of men."

Mosiah 2:8 "For behold, that if the knowledge of the goodness of God at this time hath awakened you to a sense of your nothingness and your worthlessness and fallen state,

Mosiah 2:9 I say unto you, that if ye have come to a knowledge of the goodness of God and His matchless power and His wisdom and His patience and His longsuffering toward the children of men,

Mosiah 2:13 "Believe in God; Believe that He is and that He created all things, both in heaven and in earth;

Mosiah 2:16 "And again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, And humble yourselves before God and ask in sincerity of heart that He would forgive you;

Mosiah 2:18 "And again, I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God,

Mosiah 2:20 Even so, I would that ye should remember and always retain in remembrance the greatness of God and your own nothingness and His goodness and longsuffering toward you unworthy creatures;

Mosiah 2:22 "And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this, ye shall always rejoice and be filled with the love of God and always retain a remission of your sins;

Mosiah 2:26 Neither will ye suffer that they transgress the laws of God and fight and quarrel one with another and serve the devil which is the master of sin - or which is the evil spirit which hath been spoken of by our fathers, he being an enemy to all righteousness -

Mosiah 2:31 But I say unto you O man, whosoever doeth this, the same hath great cause to repent; And except he repenteth of that which he hath done, he perisheth forever and hath no interest in the kingdom of God.

Mosiah 2:32 "For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have? For both food and raiment and for gold and for silver and for all the riches which we have of every kind?

Mosiah 2:36 "And now, if God who hath created you, on whom you are dependent for your lives and for all that ye have and are, doth grant unto you whatsoever ye ask that is right, in faith believing that ye shall receive, O then, how had ye ought to impart of the substance that ye have one to another!

Mosiah 2:37 "And if ye judge the man who putteth up his petition to you for your substance, that he perish not, and condemn him, How much more just will be your condemnation for withholding your substance which doth not belong to you, but to God to whom also your life belongeth?

Mosiah 2:42 "And now for the sake of these things which I have spoken unto you - that is, for the sake of retaining a remission of your sins from day to day, that ye may walk guiltless before God -

Mosiah 2:49 "But this much I can tell you: That if ye do not watch yourselves and your thoughts and your words and your deeds, And observe to keep the commandments of God and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, Ye must perish.

Mosiah 3:4 "And we ourselves also, through the infinite goodness of God and the manifestations of His Spirit, have great views of that which is to come, And were it expedient, we could prophesy of all things;

Mosiah 3:6 And we are willing to enter into a covenant with our God, to do His will and to be obedient to His commandments in all things that He shall command us all the remainder of our days, That we may not bring upon ourselves a never - ending torment as has been spoken by the angel, That we may not drink out of the cup of the wrath of God."

Mosiah 3:11 There is no other name given whereby salvation cometh; Therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ - all you that have entered into the covenant with God - that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives.

Mosiah 3:12 "And it shall come to pass that whosoever doeth this shall be found at the right hand of God, For he shall know the name by which he is called, For he shall be called by the name of Christ.

Mosiah 3:13 "And now it shall come to pass that whosoever shall not take upon them the name of Christ must be called by some other name; Therefore, he findeth himself on the left hand of God.

Mosiah 3:16 "I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of God, But that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also the name by which He shall call you.

Mosiah 3:21 "Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, That Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you His, That you may be brought to heaven, That ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life through the wisdom and power and justice and mercy of Him who created all things in heaven and in earth, who is God above all. Amen."

Mosiah 4:1 And now King Benjamin thought it was expedient, after having finished speaking to the people, that he should take the names of all those who had entered into a covenant with God to keep His commandments.

Mosiah 4:4 And also had appointed priests to teach the people, that thereby they might hear and know the commandments of God and to stir them up in remembrance of the oath which they had made, He dismissed the multitude; And they returned, everyone according to their families, to their own houses.

Mosiah 5:15 And now when Ammon saw that he was permitted to speak, he went forth and bowed himself before the king; And rising again, he said: "O king, I am very thankful before God this day that I am yet alive and am permitted to speak,

Mosiah 5:28 "Therefore, lift up your heads and rejoice! And put your trust in God, in that God who was the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob,

Mosiah 5:29 And also that God who brought the children of Israel out of the Land of Egypt and caused that they should walk through the Red Sea on dry ground, And fed them with manna, that they might not perish in the wilderness; And many more things did He do for them.

Mosiah 5:30 "And again, that same God hath brought our fathers out of the Land of Jerusalem and hath kept and preserved His people, even until now.

Mosiah 5:43 "And a prophet of the Lord have they slain, Yea, a chosen man of God who told them of their wickedness and abominations, And prophesied of many things which are to come, yea, even the coming of Christ;

Mosiah 5:44 And because he saith unto them that Christ was the God, the Father, of all things, And saith that He should take upon Him the image of man, And it should be the image after which man was created in the beginning -

Mosiah 5:45 Or in other words, he said that man was created after the image of God, And that God should come down among the children of men and take upon Him flesh and blood and go forth upon the face of the earth;

Mosiah 5:46 And now because he said this, they did put him to death. "And many more things did they do which brought down the wrath of God upon them;

Mosiah 5:72 Now Ammon saith unto him: "I can assuredly tell thee, O king, of a man that can translate the records, For he hath wherewith that he can look and translate all records that are of ancient date, And it is a gift from God,

Mosiah 5:75 "And behold, the king of the people which is in the Land of Zarahemla is the man that is commanded to do these things and which hath this high gift from God."

Mosiah 5:77 And Ammon saith that: "A seer is a revelator and a prophet also; And a gift which is greater can no man have, except he should possess the power of God, which no man can, Yet a man may have great power given him from God.

Mosiah 5:81 Thus God hath provided a means that man, through faith, might work mighty miracles; Therefore, he becometh a great benefit to his fellow beings."

Mosiah 5:82 And now when Ammon had made an end of speaking these words, the king rejoiced exceedingly and gave thanks to God, saying:

Mosiah 6:6 And yet I, being overzealous to inherit the land of our fathers, collected as many as were desirous to go up to possess the land and started again on our journey into the wilderness to go up to the land; But we were smitten with famine and sore afflictions, for we were slow to remember the Lord our God;

Mosiah 6:22 And God did hear our cries and did answer our prayers, And we did go forth in His might,

Mosiah 7:2 For behold, he did not keep the commandments of God, but he did walk after the desires of his own heart,

Mosiah 7:32 And except they repent and turn to the Lord their God, behold, I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies,

Mosiah 7:34 'And it shall come to pass that they shall know that I Am the Lord their God and am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of My people.

Mosiah 7:35 'And it shall come to pass that except this people repent and turn unto the Lord their God, they shall be brought into bondage; And none shall deliver them, except it be the Lord, the Almighty God.

Mosiah 7:37 And except they repent in sackcloth and ashes and cry mightily to the Lord their God, I will not hear their prayers, Neither will I deliver them out of their afflictions.'

Mosiah 7:60 "Behold, we have brought a man before thee which has prophesied evil concerning thy people and saith that God will destroy them;

Mosiah 7:65 "And now, O king, What great evil hast thou done? Or what great sins have thy people committed, That we should be condemned of God or judged of this man?

Mosiah 7:77 'How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, That publisheth peace, That bringeth good tidings of good, That publisheth salvation, That saith unto Zion, "Thy God reigneth!"

Mosiah 7:80 The Lord hath made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; And all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God! '?"

Mosiah 7:89 Yea, thou knowest that I speak the truth, And you had ought to tremble before God.

Mosiah 7:94 And Abinadi saith unto them: "I know if ye keep the commandments of God, ye shall be saved;

Mosiah 7:95 Yea, if ye keep the commandments which the Lord delivered unto Moses in the Mount of Sinai, saying: 'I Am the Lord thy God which has brought thee out of the Land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

Mosiah 7:96 Thou shalt have no other god before Me!

Mosiah 7:101 And they stood forth and attempted to lay their hands on him, but he withstood them and said unto them: "Touch me not, for God shall smite you if ye lay your hands upon me, For I have not delivered the message which the Lord sent me to deliver,

Mosiah 7:102 Neither have I told you that which ye requested that I should tell; Therefore, God will not suffer that I shall be destroyed at this time,

Mosiah 7:103 But I must fulfill the commandments wherewith God hath commanded me; And because I have told you the truth ye are angry with me;

Mosiah 7:104 And again, because I have spoken the word of God ye have judged me, that I am mad."

Mosiah 7:107 And he spake with power and authority from God. And he continued his words, saying: "Ye see that ye have not power to slay me, therefore I finish my message;

Mosiah 7:111 "And now I read unto you the remainder of the commandments of God, for I perceive that they are not written in your hearts;

Mosiah 7:114 "And again: 'Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, For I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, Visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me, And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me and keep My commandments.

Mosiah 7:115 'Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.

Mosiah 7:117 Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, But the seventh day, the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, thou shalt not do any work - Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates,

Mosiah 7:119 'Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee;

Mosiah 8:5 "And moreover, I say unto you that salvation doth not come by the law alone; And were it not for the atonement which God Himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of His people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

Mosiah 8:6 "And now I say unto you that it was expedient that there should be a law given to the children of Israel, yea, even a very strict law, For they were a stiff-necked people, quick to do iniquity and slow to remember the Lord their God;

Mosiah 8:7 Therefore, there was a law given them, yea, a law of performances and ordinances, A law which they were to observe strictly from day to day to keep them in remembrance of God and their duty toward Him.

Mosiah 8:10 I say unto you, nay, they did not all understand the law, and this because of the hardness of their hearts, For they understood not that there could not any man be saved, except it were through the redemption of God.

Mosiah 8:11 "For behold, did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the coming of the Messiah and that God should redeem His people? Yea, and even all the prophets which have prophesied ever since the world began,

Mosiah 8:13 Have they not said that God Himself should come down among the children of men and take upon Him the form of man and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth?

Mosiah 8:19 'Surely He hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.

Mosiah 8:28 And now Abinadi saith unto them: "I would that ye should understand that God Himself shall come down among the children of men and shall redeem His people;

Mosiah 8:29 And because He dwelleth in flesh, He shall be called the Son of God;

Mosiah 8:30 And having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son - The Father, because He was conceived by the power of God, and the Son, because of the flesh, thus becoming the Father and Son,

Mosiah 8:31 And They are one God, yea, the Very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth -

Mosiah 8:32 And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation and yieldeth not to the temptation, But suffereth Himself to be mocked and scourged and cast out and disowned by His people.

Mosiah 8:35 "And thus God breaketh the bands of death, Having gained the victory over death, giving the Son power to make intercession for the children of men,

Mosiah 8:43 I say unto you, that these are His seed, or they are heirs of the kingdom of God,

Mosiah 8:47 I say unto you that they are His seed. "And these are they which hath published peace, That hath brought good tidings of good, That hath published salvation, That saith unto Zion, 'Thy God reigneth! '

Mosiah 8:56 "And now, the resurrection of all the prophets and all those that have believed in their words, or all those that have kept the commandments of God, These shall come forth in the first resurrection; Therefore, they are the first resurrection;

Mosiah 8:57 They are raised to dwell with God who hath redeemed them, Thus they have eternal life through Christ who hath broken the bands of death.

Mosiah 8:61 "But behold and fear and tremble before God, for ye had ought to tremble, For the Lord redeemeth none such that rebelleth against Him and dieth in their sins,

Mosiah 8:62 Yea, even all those that have perished in their sins ever since the world began, that have willfully rebelled against God, that have known the commandments of God and would not keep them; These are they that have no part in the first resurrection.

Mosiah 8:69 The Lord hath made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, And all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God! '"

Mosiah 8:71 When every nation, kindred, tongue and people shall see eye to eye, And shall confess before God that His judgments are just.

Mosiah 8:76 Thus all mankind were lost; And behold, they would have been endlessly lost were it not that God redeemed His people from their lost and fallen state.

Mosiah 8:77 "But remember that he that persists in his own carnal nature and goes on in the ways of sin and rebellion against God, He remaineth in his fallen state and the devil hath all power over him;

Mosiah 8:78 Therefore, he is as though there was no redemption made, being an enemy to God; And also is the devil an enemy to God.

Mosiah 8:83 "Even this mortal shall put on immortality, And this corruption shall put on incorruption and shall be brought to stand before the bar of God, To be judged of Him according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.

Mosiah 9:11 For thou hast said that God Himself should come down among the children of men;

Mosiah 9:17 And now King Noah was about to release him, for he feared his word, For he feared that the judgments of God would come upon him;

Mosiah 9:21 And now when the flames began to scorch him, he cried unto them, saying: "Behold! Even as ye have done unto me, so shall it come to pass that thy seed shall cause that many shall suffer the pains that I do suffer, even the pains of death by fire, And this because they believe in the salvation of the Lord their God.

Mosiah 9:25 Thus God executeth vengeance upon those that destroy His people!

Mosiah 9:26 "O God, receive my soul!"

Mosiah 9:27 And now when Abinadi had said these words, he fell, having suffered death by fire, Yea, having been put to death because he would not deny the commandments of God, Having sealed the truth of his words by his death.

Mosiah 9:39 "And now as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God and to be called His people, And are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light,

Mosiah 9:40 Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn, Yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, And to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, That ye may be redeemed of God and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life -

Mosiah 9:44 And when he had said these words, the Spirit of the Lord was upon him and he said: "Helam, I baptize thee, having authority from the Almighty God, as a testimony that ye have entered into a covenant to serve Him until you are dead, as to the mortal body; And may the Spirit of the Lord be poured out upon you, And may He grant unto you eternal life through the redemption of Christ which He hath prepared from the foundation of the world."

Mosiah 9:48 Yea, and they were baptized in the Waters of Mormon and were filled with the grace of God;

Mosiah 9:49 And they were called the church of God, or the church of Christ, from that time forward.

Mosiah 9:50 And it came to pass that whosoever was baptized by the power and authority of God was added to His church.

Mosiah 9:51 And it came to pass that Alma, having authority from God, ordained priests - even one priest to every fifty of their number did he ordain - To preach unto them and to teach them concerning the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

Mosiah 9:55 And thus he commanded them to preach; And thus they became the children of God.

Mosiah 9:56 And he commanded them that they should observe the Sabbath day and keep it holy, And also every day they should give thanks to the Lord their God.

Mosiah 9:58 And there was one day in every week that was set apart that they should gather themselves together to teach the people and to worship the Lord their God, And also as often as it was in their power to assemble themselves together;

Mosiah 9:59 And the priests were not to depend upon the people for their support, But for their labor they were to receive the grace of God, that they might wax strong in the Spirit, Having the knowledge of God, that they might teach with power and authority from God.

Mosiah 9:62 And thus they should impart of their substance of their own free will and good desires toward God, And to those priests that stood in need, yea, and to every needy, naked soul;

Mosiah 9:63 And this he said unto them, having been commanded of God;

Mosiah 9:64 And they did walk uprightly before God, imparting to one another both temporally and spiritually, according to their needs and their wants.

Mosiah 9:154 And they did humble themselves, even in the depths of humility; And they did cry mightily to God, Yea, even all the day long did they cry unto their God, that He would deliver them out of their afflictions.

Mosiah 9:170 And now Limhi was again filled with joy on learning from the mouth of Ammon that King Benjamin had a gift from God whereby he could interpret such engravings. Yea, and Ammon also did rejoice;

Mosiah 9:171 Yet Ammon and his brethren were filled with sorrow because so many of their brethren had been slain, And also that King Noah and his priests had caused the people to commit so many sins and iniquities against God;

Mosiah 9:172 And they also did mourn for the death of Abinadi, And also for the departure of Alma and the people that went with him who had formed a church of God, through the strength and power of God and faith on the words which had been spoken by Abinadi;

Mosiah 9:174 Now they would have gladly joined with them, For they themselves had entered into a covenant with God to serve Him and keep His commandments;

Mosiah 9:175 And now since the coming of Ammon, King Limhi had also entered into a covenant with God, and also many of his people, to serve Him and keep His commandments.

Mosiah 9:176 And it came to pass that King Limhi and many of his people were desirous to be baptized, but there was none in the land that had authority from God;

Mosiah 9:179 They were desirous to be baptized as a witness and a testimony that they were willing to serve God with all their hearts -

Mosiah 11:13 "And now as ye have been delivered by the power of God out of these bonds,

Mosiah 11:15 And also trusting no one to be your teachers nor your ministers, except he be a man of God, walking in His ways and keeping His commandments."

Mosiah 11:18 And it came to pass that none received authority to preach or to teach, except it were by him from God;

Mosiah 11:26 For behold, I will show unto you that they were brought into bondage and none could deliver them but the Lord their God, Yea, even the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob.

Mosiah 11:30 But Alma went forth and stood among them and exhorted them that they should not be frightened, But that they should remember the Lord their God and He would deliver them;

Mosiah 11:50 And they were a people friendly one with another; Nevertheless they knew not God, Neither did the brethren of Amulon teach them anything concerning the Lord their God, neither the law of Moses,

Mosiah 11:57 And it came to pass that so great were their afflictions that they began to cry mightily to God.

Mosiah 11:58 And it came to pass that Amulon commanded them that they should stop their cries; And he put guards over them to watch them, that whosoever should be found calling upon God should be put to death.

Mosiah 11:59 And it came to pass that Alma and his people did not raise their voices to the Lord their God, but did pour out their hearts to Him; And He did know the thoughts of their hearts.

Mosiah 11:62 And this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for Me hereafter, And that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit My people in their afflictions."

Mosiah 11:70 Yea, and in the Valley of Alma they poured out their thanks to God because He had been merciful unto them and eased their burdens and had delivered them out of bondage,

Mosiah 11:71 For they were in bondage and none could deliver them except it were the Lord their God;

Mosiah 11:72 And they gave thanks to God, Yea, all their men and all their women and all their children that could speak lifted their voices in the praises of their God.

Mosiah 11:86 And again, when they thought of the immediate goodness of God and His power in delivering Alma and his brethren out of the hands of the Lamanites and of bondage, they did raise their voices and gave thanks to God.

Mosiah 11:96 Yea, and as many as he did baptize did belong to the church of God, And this because of their belief on the words of Alma.

Mosiah 11:98 Now this was done because there were so many people that they could not all be governed by one teacher, Neither could they all hear the word of God in one assembly; Therefore, they did assemble themselves together in different bodies, being called churches,

Mosiah 11:100 And thus, notwithstanding there being many churches, they were all one church, yea, even the church of God;

Mosiah 11:101 For there was nothing preached in all the churches except it were repentance and faith in God.

Mosiah 11:103 And it came to pass that whosoever was desirous to take upon them the name of Christ, or of God, they did join the churches of God and they were called the people of God;

Mosiah 11:107 And now because of their unbelief, they could not understand the word of God, And their hearts were hardened;

Mosiah 11:109 And they were a separate people as to their faith, and remained so ever after, even in their carnal and sinful state, for they would not call upon the Lord their God.

Mosiah 11:110 And now in the reign of Mosiah, they were not half so numerous as the people of God, But because of the dissensions among the brethren, they became more numerous.

Mosiah 11:120 And now the spirit of Alma was again troubled; And he went and inquired of the Lord what he should do concerning this matter, for he feared that he should do wrong in the sight of God.

Mosiah 11:121 And it came to pass that after he had poured out his whole soul to God, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying: "Blessed art thou, Alma, and blessed are they which were baptized in the Waters of Mormon;

Mosiah 11:134 And then shall they know that I Am the Lord their God, that I Am their Redeemer, but they would not be redeemed;

Mosiah 11:142 And it came to pass when Alma had heard these words, he wrote them down that he might have them, And that he might judge the people of that church according to the commandments of God.

Mosiah 11:147 And they began again to have peace and to prosper exceedingly in the affairs of the church, walking circumspectly before God, receiving many and baptizing many.

Mosiah 11:148 And now all these things did Alma and his fellow laborers do which were over the church, Walking in all diligence, Teaching the word of God in all things, Suffering all manner of afflictions, Being persecuted by all those who did not belong to the church of God;

Mosiah 11:149 And they did admonish their brethren; And they were also admonished, everyone, by the word of God according to his sins, or to the sins which he had committed, Being commanded of God to pray without ceasing and to give thanks in all things.

Mosiah 11:152 And it came to pass that King Mosiah sent a proclamation throughout the land round about that there should not any unbeliever persecute any of those which belonged to the church of God.

Mosiah 11:155 Yea, and all their priests and teachers should labor with their own hands for their support in all cases, save it were in sickness or in much want. And doing these things, they did abound in the grace of God,

Mosiah 11:161 And he became a great hinderment to the prosperity of the church of God - Stealing away the hearts of the people, Causing much dissension among the people, Giving a chance for the enemy of God to exercise his power over them.

Mosiah 11:162 And now it came to pass that while he was going about to destroy the church of God - for he did go about secretly with the sons of Mosiah, seeking to destroy the church and to lead astray the people of the Lord contrary to the commandments of God, or even the king -

Mosiah 11:163 And as I said unto you, as they were going about rebelling against God, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto them; And he descended as it were in a cloud, And he spake as it were with a voice of thunder which caused the earth to shake upon which they stood;

Mosiah 11:165 Nevertheless, he cried again, saying: "Alma, arise and stand forth! for why persecuteth thou the church of God?

Mosiah 11:169 Therefore, for this purpose have I come to convince thee of the power and authority of God, that the prayers of His servants might be answered according to their faith.

Mosiah 11:170 "And now behold, can ye dispute the power of God?

Mosiah 11:173 And I am sent from God.

Mosiah 11:178 And they knew that there was nothing save the power of God that could shake the earth and cause it to tremble as though it would part asunder.

Mosiah 11:181 And they rehearsed unto his father all that had happened unto them, And his father rejoiced, for he knew that it was the power of God.

Mosiah 11:183 And he caused that the priests should assemble themselves together; And they began to fast and to pray to the Lord their God that He would open the mouth of Alma, that he might speak,

Mosiah 11:184 And also that his limbs might receive their strength, That the eyes of the people might be opened to see and know of the goodness and glory of God.

Mosiah 11:188 Yea, born of God, Changed from their carnal and fallen state to a state of righteousness, Being redeemed of God, becoming His sons and daughters, And thus they become new creatures; And unless they do this, they can in no wise inherit the kingdom of God.'

Mosiah 11:190 "Nevertheless, after wading through much tribulation, repenting nigh unto death, The Lord in mercy hath seen fit to snatch me out of an everlasting burning, And I am born of God!

Mosiah 11:192 I was in the darkest abyss, but now I behold the marvelous light of God!

Mosiah 11:197 Yea, even at the last day when all men shall stand to be judged of Him, then shall they confess that He is God;

Mosiah 11:198 Then shall they confess, who live without God in the world, that the judgment of an everlasting punishment is just upon them;

Mosiah 11:201 Traveling round about through all the land, Publishing to all the people the things which they had heard and seen, And preaching the word of God in much tribulation, being greatly persecuted by those which were unbelievers, being smitten by many of them.

Mosiah 11:202 But notwithstanding all this, they did impart much consolation to the church, confirming their faith, And exhorting them with longsuffering and much travail to keep the commandments of God.

Mosiah 11:206 And thus they were instruments in the hands of God in bringing many to the knowledge of the truth, Yea, to the knowledge of their Redeemer.

Mosiah 12:2 That they might preach the things which they had heard and that they might impart the word of God to their brethren, the Lamanites, That perhaps they might bring them to the knowledge of the Lord their God and convince them of the iniquity of their fathers;

Mosiah 12:3 And that perhaps they might cure them of their hatred toward the Nephites, That they might also be brought to rejoice in the Lord their God,

Mosiah 12:4 That they might become friendly to one another and that there should be no more contentions in all the land which the Lord their God hath given them.

Mosiah 12:15 Therefore, he took the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass, and also the plates of Nephi and all the things which he had kept and preserved according to the commandments of God,

Mosiah 13:15 Nevertheless, let us appoint judges to judge this people according to our law; And we will newly arrange the affairs of this people, for we will appoint wise men to be judges that will judge this people according to the commandments of God.

Mosiah 13:16 "Now it is better that a man should be judged of God than of man, for the judgments of God are always just, But the judgments of man are not always just;

Mosiah 13:17 Therefore, if it were possible that ye could have just men to be your kings which would establish the laws of God and judge this people according to His commandments, Yea, if ye could have men for your kings which would do even as my father Benjamin did for this people, I say unto you, if this could always be the case, then it would be expedient that ye should always have kings to rule over you.

Mosiah 13:18 "And even I, myself, have labored with all the power and faculties which I have possessed, to teach you the commandments of God and to establish peace throughout the land,

Mosiah 13:29 For behold, he hath his friends in iniquity and he keepeth his guards about him; And he teareth up the laws of those which have reigned in righteousness before him, And he trampleth under his feet the commandments of God,

Mosiah 13:37 And if the time cometh that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you,

Mosiah 13:52 Telling them that these things ought not to be, that they were expressly repugnant to the commandments of God.

Mosiah 13:66 And now it came to pass that his father died, being eighty and two years old, having lived to fulfill the commandments of God.

Alma 1:1 Now it came to pass that in the first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, From this time forward, King Mosiah, having gone the way of all the earth, having warred a good warfare, walking uprightly before God, leaving no one to reign in his stead -

Alma 1:4 And he had gone about among the people preaching to them that which he termed to be the word of God, bearing down against the church,

Alma 1:10 And it came to pass as he was going to preach to those who believed on his word, he met a man which belonged to the church of God, yea, even one of their teachers;

Alma 1:11 And he began to contend with him sharply, that he might lead away the people of the church; But the man withstood him, admonishing him with the words of God.

Alma 1:12 Now the name of the man was Gideon; And it was him that was an instrument in the hands of God in delivering the people of Limhi out of bondage.

Alma 1:13 Now because Gideon withstood him with the words of God, he was wroth with Gideon and drew his sword and began to smite him;

Alma 1:23 And there he was caused, or rather, did acknowledge between the heavens and the earth that what he had taught to the people was contrary to the word of God; And there he suffered an ignominious death.

Alma 1:28 But it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church of God began to persecute those that did belong to the church of God and had taken upon them the name of Christ,

Alma 1:30 because they were not proud in their own eyes, And because they did impart the word of God one with another, without money and without price.

Alma 1:34 For the hearts of many were hardened; And their names were blotted out, that they were remembered no more among the people of God,

Alma 1:36 Now this was a great trial to those that did stand fast in the faith; Nevertheless, they were steadfast and immovable in keeping the commandments of God, And they bore with patience the persecution which was heaped upon them.

Alma 1:37 And when their priests left their labor to impart the word of God unto the people, the people also left their labors to hear the word of God;

Alma 1:38 And when the priest had imparted unto them the word of God, they all returned again diligently unto their labors;

Alma 1:57 Therefore, if it were possible that Amlici should gain the voice of the people, he, being a wicked man, would deprive them of their rights and privileges of the church, etc., For it was his intent to destroy the church of God.

Alma 1:64 Now the people of Amlici were distinguished by the name of Amlici, being called Amlicites, And the remainder were called Nephites, or the people of God.

Alma 1:88 And it came to pass that Alma, he being a man of God, being exercised with much faith, And he cried, saying: "O Lord, have mercy and spare my life, that I may be an instrument in Thy hands to save and protect this people!"

Alma 1:105 And their brethren sought to destroy them; Therefore, they were cursed, And the Lord God set a mark upon them, yea, upon Laman and Lemuel, and also the sons of Ishmael and the Ishmaelitish women;

Alma 1:106 And this was done that their seed might be distinguished from the seed of their brethren, that thereby the Lord God might preserve His people, that they might not mix and believe in incorrect traditions which would prove their destruction.

Alma 1:109 And it came to pass that whosoever would not believe in the tradition of the Lamanites, But believed those records which were brought out of the Land of Jerusalem, and also in the tradition of their fathers, which were correct, Which believed in the commandments of God and kept them, Were called the Nephites, or the people of Nephi, from that time forth;

Alma 1:112 Thus, the word of God is fulfilled, for these are the words which He saith to Nephi:

Alma 1:117 Now the Amlicites knew not that they were fulfilling the words of God when they began to mark themselves in their foreheads;

Alma 1:118 Nevertheless, as they had come out in open rebellion against God, Therefore, it was expedient that the curse should fall upon them.

Alma 2:3 And so great were their afflictions that every soul had cause to mourn; And they believed that it was the judgments of God sent upon them because of their wickedness and their abominations - Therefore, they were awakened to a remembrance of their duty,

Alma 2:4 And they began to establish the church more fully; Yea, and many were baptized in the waters of Sidon and were joined to the church of God,

Alma 2:6 And it came to pass in the seventh year of the reign of the judges there were about three thousand five hundred souls that united themselves to the church of God and were baptized;

Alma 2:16 Yea, there were envyings and strifes and malice and persecutions and pride, even to exceed the pride of those who did not belong to the church of God.

Alma 2:22 And now it came to pass that Alma, having seen the afflictions of the humble followers of God and the persecutions which were heaped upon them by the remainder of his people, and seeing all their inequality, He began to be very sorrowful; Nevertheless, the Spirit of the Lord did not fail him.

Alma 2:26 And this he did that he himself might go forth among his people, or among the people of Nephi, That he might preach the word of God unto them to stir them up in remembrance of their duty,

Alma 2:27 And that he might pull down by the word of God all the pride and craftiness and all the contentions which were among his people, Seeing no way that he might reclaim them, save it were in bearing down in pure testimony against them.

Alma 2:28 And thus in the commencement of the ninth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, Alma delivered up the judgment seat to Nephihah and confined himself wholly to the high priesthood of the holy order of God, to the testimony of the word according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy.

Alma 3:Intro The words which Alma, the high priest according to the holy order of God, delivered to the people in their cities and villages throughout the land.

Alma 3:1 Now it came to pass that Alma began to declare the word of God unto the people, first in the Land of Zarahemla and from thence throughout all the land;

Alma 3:3 "I, Alma, having been consecrated by my father Alma to be a high priest over the church of God, he having power and authority from God to do these things, Behold, I say unto you that he began to establish a church in the land which was in the borders of Nephi -

Alma 3:5 "And behold I say unto you, they were delivered out of the hands of the people of King Noah by the mercy and power of God.

Alma 3:7 And we were brought into this land and here we began to establish the church of God throughout this land also.

Alma 3:11 "Behold, He changed their hearts, Yea, He awaked them out of a deep sleep and they awake unto God;

Alma 3:22 Did he not speak the word of God and my father Alma believed them?

Alma 3:25 "And behold, he preached the word unto your fathers, And a mighty change was also wrought in their hearts, And they humbled themselves and put their trust in the true and living God.

Alma 3:27 "And now behold, I ask of you my brethren of the church, Have ye spiritually been born of God?

Alma 3:31 Do you look forward with an eye of faith and view this mortal body raised in immortality? And this corruption raised in incorruption, to stand before God to be judged according to the deeds which hath been done in the mortal body?

Alma 3:34 "Or otherwise, can ye imagine yourselves brought before the tribunal of God with your souls filled with guilt and remorse, having a remembrance of all your guilt?

Alma 3:35 Yea, a perfect remembrance of all your wickedness? Yea, a remembrance that ye have set at defiance the commandments of God?

Alma 3:36 "I say unto you, can ye look up to God at that day with a pure heart and clean hands?

Alma 3:37 "I say unto you, can you look up, having the image of God engraven upon your countenances?

Alma 3:41 "And now I ask of you my brethren, How will any of you feel if ye shall stand before the bar of God, having your garments stained with blood and all manner of filthiness?

Alma 3:44 "Behold, my brethren, do ye suppose that such an one can have a place to sit down in the kingdom of God with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob? And also all the holy prophets whose garments are cleansed and are spotless, pure and white?

Alma 3:47 Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God?

Alma 3:50 "Behold, are ye stripped of pride? I say unto you, if ye are not, ye are not prepared to meet God.

Alma 3:56 Yea, even wo unto all ye workers of iniquity! Repent, repent! for the Lord God hath spoken it.

Alma 3:67 For I say unto you that whatsoever is good cometh from God, And whatsoever is evil cometh from the devil.

Alma 3:72 For behold, I have spoken unto you plain that ye cannot err, or have spoken according to the commandments of God,

Alma 3:73 For I am called to speak after this manner, according to the holy order of God which is in Christ Jesus;

Alma 3:78 Behold I say unto you, they are made known unto me by the Holy Spirit of God.

Alma 3:80 And now I do know of myself that they are true; For the Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by His Holy Spirit, And this is the spirit of revelation which is in me.

Alma 3:82 Even so, according to the spirit of prophecy which is in me, which is also by the manifestation of the Spirit of God, I say unto you that I know of myself that whatsoever I shall say unto you concerning that which is to come is true;

Alma 3:87 "Yea, thus saith the Spirit: 'Repent all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand! ' Yea, the Son of God cometh in His glory, in His might, majesty, power and dominion;

Alma 3:95 Yea, will ye persist in the persecutions of your brethren who humble themselves and do walk after the holy order of God wherewith they have been brought into this church, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit? - And they do bring forth works which are meet for repentance -

Alma 3:99 "And behold, their names shall be blotted out, that the names of the wicked shall not be numbered among the names of the righteous, that the word of God may be fulfilled which saith: 'The names of the wicked shall not be mingled with the names of My people,

Alma 3:102 I say unto you, if ye speak against it, it matters not, for the word of God must be fulfilled;

Alma 4:1 And now it came to pass that after Alma had made an end of speaking unto the people of the church which was established in the City of Zarahemla, He ordained priests and elders by laying on his hands, according to the order of God, to preside and watch over the church.

Alma 4:3 And it also came to pass that whomsoever did belong to the church that did not repent of their wickedness and humble themselves before God -

Alma 4:5 Now I would that ye should understand that the word of God was liberal unto all, that no one was deprived of the privilege of assembling themselves together to hear the word of God;

Alma 4:6 Nevertheless, the children of God were commanded that they should gather themselves together oft and join in fasting and mighty prayer in behalf of the welfare of the souls of those who knew not God.

Alma 4:9 And Alma went and began to declare the word of God unto the church which was established in the Valley of Gideon, According to the revelation of the truth of the word which had been spoken by his fathers,

Alma 4:10 And according to the spirit of prophecy which was in him, According to the testimony of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, which should come for to redeem His people from their sins, And the holy order by which he was called. And thus it is written. Amen.

Alma 5:4 And behold, I have come having great hopes and much desire that I should find that ye had humbled yourselves before God, And that ye had continued in the supplicating of His grace, that I should find that ye were blameless before Him,

Alma 5:6 But, blessed be the name of God! that He hath given unto me to know, yea, hath given unto me the exceeding great joy of knowing that they are established again in the way of His righteousness;

Alma 5:7 And I trust, according to the Spirit of God which is in me, that I shall also have joy over you.

Alma 5:12 Yea, I trust that you do not worship idols, but that ye do worship the true and the living God, And that ye look forward for the remission of your sins with an everlasting faith which is to come.

Alma 5:16 Now as to this thing, I do not know; But this much I do know, that the Lord God hath power to do all things which are according to His word.

Alma 5:18 For behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand and the Son of God cometh upon the face of the earth.

Alma 5:19 And behold, He shall be born of Mary at Jerusalem, which is the land of our forefathers, She being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, And bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

Alma 5:23 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; Nevertheless, the Son of God suffereth, according to the flesh, That He might take upon Him the sins of His people, That He might blot out their transgressions according to the power of His deliverance. And now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.

Alma 5:25 Therefore, come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye may be washed from your sins, That ye may have faith on the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world, which is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.

Alma 5:27 Yea, come and go forth and show unto your God that ye are willing to repent of your sins and enter into a covenant with Him to keep His commandments, And witness it unto Him this day by going into the waters of baptism;

Alma 5:28 And whosoever doeth this and keepeth the commandments of God from thenceforth, The same will remember that I say unto him, yea, he will remember that I have said unto him, he shall have eternal life according to the testimony of the Holy Spirit which testifieth in me.

Alma 5:33 For I perceive that ye are in the paths of righteousness; I perceive that ye are in the path which leads to the kingdom of God;

Alma 5:36 And He doth not dwell in unholy temples; Neither can filthiness or anything which is unclean be received into the kingdom of God.

Alma 5:38 And now my beloved brethren, I have said these things unto you that I might awaken you to a sense of your duty to God, that ye may walk blameless before Him, That ye may walk after the holy order of God, after which ye have been received.

Alma 5:39 And now, I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle, easy to be entreated, full of patience and longsuffering, Being temperate in all things, Being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times,

Alma 5:40 Asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal, Always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive;

Alma 5:44 And now may the peace of God rest upon you, and upon your houses and lands, and upon your flocks and herds, and all that you possess, your women and your children, According to your faith and good works from this time, henceforth and forever. And thus I have spoken. Amen.

Alma 6:5 And he began to teach the people in the Land of Melek according to the holy order of God by which he had been called; And he began to teach the people throughout all the Land of Melek.

Alma 6:9 And it came to pass that when Alma had come to the City of Ammonihah, he began to preach the word of God unto them.

Alma 6:11 Nevertheless, Alma labored much in the spirit, wrestling with God in mighty prayer that He would pour out His Spirit upon the people which were in the city, That He would also grant that he might baptize them unto repentance.

Alma 6:19 For thou hast been faithful in keeping the commandments of God from the time which thou received thy first message from Him.

Alma 6:21 yea, say unto them, except they repent, the Lord God will destroy them.

Alma 6:25 And it came to pass that as he entered the city, he was enhungered and he saith to a man: "Will ye give to an humble servant of God something to eat?"

Alma 6:26 And the man saith unto him: "I am a Nephite and I know that thou art a holy prophet of God, for thou art the man which an angel saith in a vision, ' Thou shalt receive ';

Alma 6:29 And it came to pass that Alma ate bread and he was filled; And he blessed Amulek and his house, And he gave thanks unto God.

Alma 6:30 And after he had eaten and was filled, he saith unto Amulek: "I am Alma and am the high priest over the churches of God throughout the land.

Alma 6:31 "And behold, I have been called to preach the word of God among all this people, according to the spirit of revelation and prophecy;

Alma 6:38 And it came to pass that Alma went forth, and also Amulek, among the people to declare the words of God unto them; And they were filled with the Holy Ghost,

Alma 7:Intro The words of Alma, and also the words of Amulek, which were declared unto the people which werein the Land of Ammonihah.And also they are cast into prison and delivered by the miraculous power of God which was in them, according to the record of Alma.

Alma 7:1 And again, I, Alma, having been commanded of God that I should take Amulek and go forth and preach again unto this people, or the people which were in the City of Ammonihah, And it came to pass as I began to preach unto them, they began to contend with me, saying: "Who art thou?

Alma 7:5 Now they knew not that God could do such marvelous works, for they were a hard-hearted and a stiff - necked people.

Alma 7:6 And they saith: "Who is God that sendeth no more authority than one man among this people to declare unto them the truth of such great and marvelous things?"

Alma 7:8 And I stood with boldness to declare unto them, yea, I did boldly testify unto them, saying: "Behold, O ye wicked and perverse generation, How have ye forgotten the tradition of your fathers? Yea, how soon ye have forgotten the commandments of God!

Alma 7:9 Do ye not remember that our father Lehi was brought out of Jerusalem by the hand of God?

Alma 7:13 "Behold now I say unto you, that He commandeth you to repent; And except ye repent, ye can in no wise inherit the kingdom of God.

Alma 7:17 "Now, I would that ye should remember that inasmuch as the Lamanites have not kept the commandments of God, they have been cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Alma 7:27 "I say unto you, nay, He would rather suffer that the Lamanites might destroy all this people which are called the people of Nephi, If it were possible that they could fall into sins and transgressions after having had so much light and so much knowledge given unto them of the Lord their God,

Alma 7:30 Having been visited by the Spirit of God, Having conversed with angels, And having been spoken unto by the voice of the Lord,

Alma 7:32 Yea, and after having been delivered of God out of the Land of Jerusalem by the hand of the Lord,

Alma 7:40 And not many days hence, the Son of God shall come in His glory; And His glory shall be the glory of the Only Begotten of the Father, Full of grace, equity and truth, Full of patience, mercy and longsuffering, Quick to hear the cries of His people and to answer their prayers.

Alma 7:46 "And now my beloved brethren, for ye are my brethren and ye had ought to be beloved, And ye had ought to bring forth works which are meet for repentance, Seeing that your hearts have been grossly hardened against the word of God and seeing that ye are a lost and a fallen people."

Alma 8:2 And it was that same Aminadi which interpreted the writing which was upon the wall of the temple which was written by the finger of God;

Alma 8:9 "Therefore, I went on rebelling against God in the wickedness of my heart, even until the fourth day of this seventh month, which is in the tenth year of the reign of our judges.

Alma 8:10 "As I was a journeying to see a very near kindred, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto me and said: 'Amulek, return to thine own house, for thou shalt feed a prophet of the Lord, yea, a holy man which art a chosen man of God;

Alma 8:13 And as I was a going thither, I found the man which the angel said unto me, ' Thou shalt receive into thy house '; And behold, it was this same man which hath been speaking unto you concerning the things of God.

Alma 8:14 "And the angel said unto me: ' He is a holy man '; Wherefore, I know he is a holy man because it was said by an angel of God.

Alma 8:26 For ye are laying traps and snares to catch the holy ones of God; Ye are laying plans to pervert the ways of the righteous and to bring down the wrath of God upon your heads, even to the utter destruction of this people.

Alma 8:73 "Believest thou that there is no God?

Alma 8:74 I say unto you, nay, thou knowest that there is a God, but thou lovest that lucre more than Him.

Alma 8:75 "And now thou hast lied before God unto me,

Alma 8:77 And it was only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God, that thou mightest have cause to destroy me.

Alma 8:79 And Zeezrom saith unto him: "Thou sayest there is a true and a living God?"

Alma 8:80 And Amulek saith: "Yea, there is a true and a living God."

Alma 8:81 Now Zeezrom saith: "Is there more than one God?"

Alma 8:85 And Zeezrom saith again: "Who is He that shall come? Is it the Son of God?"

Alma 8:89 Now Zeezrom saith unto the people: "See that ye remember these things, for he saith there is but one God; Yet he saith that the Son of God shall come, but He shall not save His people, as though he had authority to command God."

Alma 8:90 Now Amulek said again unto him: "Behold, thou hast lied, for thou sayest that I spake as though I had authority to command God because I said He shall not save His people in their sins.

Alma 8:93 Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: "Is the Son of God the Very Eternal Father?"

Alma 8:98 "For behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God and be judged according to their works.

Alma 8:101 And we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.

Alma 8:104 And shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son and God the Father and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, To be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.

Alma 9:3 "Now Zeezrom, seeing that thou hast been taken in thy lyings and craftiness, for thou hast not lied unto men only, but thou hast lied unto God,

Alma 9:10 Now when Alma had spoken these words, Zeezrom began to tremble more exceedingly, for he was convinced more and more of the power of God;

Alma 9:13 And Zeezrom began to inquire of them diligently, that he might know more concerning the kingdom of God.

Alma 9:14 And he saith unto Alma: "What does this mean which Amulek hath spoken concerning the resurrection of the dead, That all shall rise from the dead, both the just and the unjust, and are brought to stand before God to be judged according to their works?"

Alma 9:15 And now Alma began to expound these things unto him, saying: "It is given unto many to know the mysteries of God,

Alma 9:18 And he that will not harden his heart, to him is given the greater portion of the word until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God, until they know them in full;

Alma 9:21 Now this is what is meant by the chains of hell. "And Amulek hath spoken plainly concerning death, And being raised from this mortality to a state of immortality, And being brought before the bar of God to be judged according to our works.

Alma 9:24 And our thoughts will also condemn us; And in this awful state, we shall not durst look up to our God;

Alma 9:35 "What does this scripture mean which saith that God placed cherubim and a flaming sword on the east of the garden of Eden, lest our first parents should enter and partake of the fruit of the tree of life and live forever?

Alma 9:38 "Now, we see that Adam did fall by partaking of the forbidden fruit, according to the word of God; And thus we see that by his fall that all mankind became a lost and a fallen people.

Alma 9:39 "And now behold I say unto you, that if it had been possible for Adam for to have partaken of the fruit of the tree of life at that time, that there would have been no death and the word would have been void, making God a liar, For He said: 'If thou eat thereof, thou shalt surely die.'

Alma 9:41 "Therefore, this life became a probationary state, a time to prepare to meet God, A time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead.

Alma 9:45 And thus the plan of redemption would have been frustrated, And the word of God would have been void, taking none effect.

Alma 9:47 "And after God had appointed that these things should come unto man, Behold, then He saw that it was expedient that man should know concerning the things whereof He had appointed unto them.

Alma 9:49 And they began from that time forth to call on His name. "Therefore, God conversed with men and made known unto them the plan of redemption which had been prepared from the foundation of the world;

Alma 9:52 "Therefore, God gave unto them commandments, after having made known unto them the plan of redemption, that they should not do evil, The penalty thereof being a second death which was an everlasting death as to things pertaining unto righteousness,

Alma 9:53 For on such the plan of redemption could have no power, for the works of justice could not be destroyed according to the supreme goodness of God.

Alma 9:54 "But God did call on men in the name of His Son, this being the plan of redemption which was laid, saying: 'If ye will repent and harden not your hearts, then will I have mercy upon you through Mine Only Begotten Son;

Alma 9:60 "And now my brethren, seeing we know these things and they are true, Let us repent and harden not our hearts, that we provoke not the Lord our God to pull down His wrath upon us in these His second commandments which He hath given unto us,

Alma 9:61 But let us enter into the rest of God which is prepared according to His word.

Alma 9:62 "And again my brethren, I would cite your minds forward to the time which the Lord God gave these commandments unto His children;

Alma 9:63 And I would that ye should remember that the Lord God ordained priests after His holy order which was after the order of His Son, to teach these things unto the people;

Alma 9:65 "And this is the manner after which they were ordained, being called and prepared from the foundation of the world according to the foreknowledge of God, On account of their exceeding faith and good works, in the first place being left to choose good or evil -

Alma 9:67 And thus they having been called to this holy calling on account of their faith - "While others would reject the Spirit of God on account of the hardness of their hearts and blindness of their minds, While, if it had not been for this, they might have had as great privilege as their brethren;

Alma 9:69 And thus being called by this holy calling and ordained unto the high priesthood of the holy order of God, to teach His commandments unto the children of men, that they also might enter into His rest,

Alma 10:1 "Now as I said concerning the holy order, or this high priesthood, there were many which were ordained and became high priests of God;

Alma 10:2 And it was on account of the exceeding faith and repentance and their righteousness before God, they choosing to repent and work righteousness rather than to perish,

Alma 10:4 "Now they, after being sanctified by the Holy Ghost, having their garments made white, being pure and spotless before God, could not look upon sin save it were with abhorrence.

Alma 10:5 "And there were many, an exceeding great many, which were made pure and entered into the rest of the Lord their God.

Alma 10:6 "And now my brethren, I would that ye should humble yourselves before God and bring forth fruit meet for repentance, that ye may also enter into that rest;

Alma 10:9 "Now these ordinances were given after this manner, that thereby the people might look forward on the Son of God, it being a type of His order, or it being His order;

Alma 10:12 But Melchizedek, having exercised mighty faith and received the office of the high priesthood according to the holy order of God, did preach repentance unto his people,

Alma 10:25 Would to God that it might be in my day, but let it be sooner or later, in it I will rejoice.

Alma 10:29 having a hope that ye shall receive eternal life, having the love of God always in your hearts, That ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into His rest.

Alma 10:38 And also testified that there was but one God, And that He should send His Son among the people, but He should not save them; And many such things did the people testify against Alma and Amulek.

Alma 10:42 And it came to pass that he began to cry unto the people, saying: "Behold, I am guilty and these men are spotless before God!"

Alma 10:45 And they brought their wives and children together, And whosoever have believed, or had been taught to believe in the word of God, they caused that they should be cast into the fire;

Alma 10:49 Therefore, let us stretch forth our hands and exercise the power of God which is in us and save them from the flames."

Alma 10:57 "Behold, ye see that ye had not power to save these which had been cast into the fire, Neither hath God saved them because they were of thy faith."

Alma 10:74 And the chief judge stood before them and smote them again and saith unto them: "If ye have the power of God, deliver yourselves from these bands; And then we will believe that the Lord will destroy this people, according to your words."

Alma 10:76 And when the last had spoken unto them, the power of God was upon Alma and Amulek and they arose and stood upon their feet; And Alma cried, saying: "How long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord?

Alma 10:99 And then Alma cried unto the Lord, saying: "O Lord our God, have mercy on this man and heal him according to his faith which is in Christ!"

Alma 10:107 And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek - Amulek having forsaken all his gold and his silver and his precious things which were in the Land of Ammonihah for the word of God, He being rejected by those which were once his friends, and also by his father and his kindred -

Alma 10:108 Therefore, after Alma having established the church at Sidom, seeing a great check, Yea, seeing that the people were checked as to the pride of their hearts and began to humble themselves before God,

Alma 10:109 And began to assemble themselves together at their sanctuaries to worship God before the altar, Watching and praying continually that they might be delivered from Satan and from death and from destruction -

Alma 11:15 Yea, every living soul of the Ammonihahites were destroyed, and also their great city which they said God could not destroy because of its greatness;

Alma 11:23 And as many as would hear their words, unto them they did impart the word of God without any respect of persons, continually.

Alma 11:28 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.

Alma 11:30 Holding forth things which must shortly come - Yea, holding forth the coming of the Son of God, His sufferings and death, And the resurrection of the dead.

Alma 11:31 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.

Alma 11:32 And now, after the church having been established throughout all the land, having got the victory over the devil, And the word of God being preached in its purity in all the land and the Lord pouring out His blessings upon the people,

Alma 12:Intro An account of the sons of Mosiah which rejected their rights to the kingdom for the word of God and went up to the Land of Nephi to preach to the Lamanites. Their sufferings and deliverance, according to the record of Alma.

Alma 12:4 For they were men of a sound understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of God.

Alma 12:5 But this is not all - They had given themselves to much prayer and fasting, Therefore, they had the spirit of prophecy and the spirit of revelation, And when they taught, they taught with power and authority, even as with the power and authority of God.

Alma 12:6 And they had been teaching the word of God for the space of fourteen years among the Lamanites, having had much success in bringing many to the knowledge of the truth;

Alma 12:7 Yea, by the power of their words many were brought before the altar of God to call on His name and confess their sins before Him.

Alma 12:13 And thus they departed into the wilderness with their numbers which they had selected, to go up to the Land of Nephi to preach the word of God unto the Lamanites.

Alma 12:15 That they might be an instrument in the hands of God to bring, if it were possible, their brethren the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth,

Alma 12:20 And it came to pass that the hearts of the sons of Mosiah, and also those which were with them, took courage to go forth unto the Lamanites to declare unto them the word of God.

Alma 12:22 And assuredly it was great, for they had undertaken to preach the word of God to a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people, A people which delighted in murdering the Nephites, and robbing and plundering them;

Alma 12:25 Thus they were a very indolent people, many of whom did worship idols; And the curse of God had fallen upon them because of the traditions of their fathers, Notwithstanding the promises of the Lord were extended unto them on the conditions of repentance.

Alma 12:27 Therefore, they separated themselves one from another and went forth among them, every man alone, according to the word and power of God which was given unto him.

Alma 12:28 Now Ammon being the chief among them, or rather he did minister unto them, And he departed from them after having blessed them according to their several stations, having imparted the word of God unto them, or administered unto them before his departure; And thus they took their several journeys throughout the land.

Alma 12:88 And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with the Spirit of God, therefore, he perceived the thoughts of the king,

Alma 12:101 And Ammon began to speak unto him with boldness and said unto him: "Believest thou that there is a God?"

Alma 12:105 And Ammon saith: "This is God."

Alma 12:106 And Ammon saith unto him again: "Believest thou that this Great Spirit, which is God, created all things which are in heaven and in the earth?"

Alma 12:108 And Ammon saith unto him: "The heavens is a place where God dwells and all His holy angels."

Alma 12:111 And King Lamoni saith: "I believe all these things which thou hast spoken; Art thou sent from God?"

Alma 12:112 Ammon saith unto him: "I am a man, And man in the beginning was created after the image of God; And I am called by His Holy Spirit to teach these things unto this people, that they may be brought to a knowledge of that which is just and true;

Alma 12:113 And a portion of that Spirit dwelleth in me which giveth me knowledge, and also power, according to my faith and desires which are in God."

Alma 12:129 And she saith unto him: "The servants of my husband have made it known unto me that thou art a prophet of a Holy God and that thou hast power to do many mighty works in His name;

Alma 12:132 Now this was what Ammon desired, for he knew that King Lamoni was under the power of God;

Alma 12:133 He knew that the dark veil of unbelief being cast away from his mind, And the light which did light up his mind, which was the light of the glory of God which was a marvelous light of His goodness -

Alma 12:135 Yea, he knew that this had overcome his natural frame and he was carried away in God; Therefore, what the queen desired of him was his only desire.

Alma 12:137 And he saith unto the queen: "He is not dead, but he sleepeth in God and on the morrow he shall rise again, Therefore, bury him not."

Alma 12:142 And it came to pass that he arose according to the words of Ammon; And as he arose, he stretched forth his hand unto the woman and said: "Blessed be the name of God! and blessed art thou,

Alma 12:145 Now Ammon seeing the Spirit of the Lord poured out according to his prayers upon the Lamanites, his brethren, which had been the cause of so much mourning among the Nephites, or among all the people of God because of their iniquities and their traditions,

Alma 12:146 And Ammon fell upon his knees and began to pour out his soul in prayer and thanksgiving to God for what He had done for his brethren;

Alma 12:148 Now when the servants of the king had seen that they had fallen, they also began to cry unto God, for the fear of the Lord had come upon them also,

Alma 12:151 Therefore, when she saw that all the servants of Lamoni had fallen to the earth, and also her mistress, the queen, And the king and Ammon lay prostrate upon the earth, She knew that it was the power of God;

Alma 12:152 And supposing that this opportunity, by making known unto the people what had happened among them, that by beholding this scene it would cause them to believe in the power of God,

Alma 12:170 "O blessed Jesus who has saved me from an awful hell! O blessed God, have mercy on this people!"

Alma 12:177 And behold, many did declare unto the people that they had seen angels and had conversed with them; And thus they had told them things of God and of His righteousness.

Alma 12:187 And Ammon saith unto him: "No one hath told me, save it be God; And He said unto me: 'Go and deliver thy brethren, for they are in prison in the Land of Middoni.'"

Alma 12:199 But Lamoni saith unto him: "I will not slay Ammon, neither will I return to the Land of Ishmael, But I go to the Land of Middoni that I may release the brethren of Ammon, for I know that they are just men and holy prophets of the true God."

Alma 12:203 "And again, it is expedient that thou shouldst forbear; For if thou shouldst slay thy son - he being an innocent man - his blood would cry from the ground to the Lord his God for vengeance to come upon thee, And perhaps thou wouldst lose thy soul."

Alma 13:9 Behold, we have built sanctuaries and we do assemble ourselves together to worship God; We do believe that God will save all men."

Alma 13:10 Now Aaron said unto him: "Believest thou that the Son of God shall come to redeem mankind from their sins?"

Alma 13:21 And they went forth whithersoever they were led by the Spirit of the Lord, preaching the word of God in every synagogue of the Amalekites, or in every assembly of the Lamanites where they could be admitted.

Alma 13:27 And he also declared unto them that they might have the liberty of worshipping the Lord their God according to their desires in whatsoever place they were in, if it were in the land which was under the reign of King Lamoni;

Alma 13:29 And he did exhort them daily, with all diligence; And they gave heed unto his word and they were zealous for keeping the commandments of God.

Alma 13:38 And Aaron answered him and said unto him: "Believest thou that there is a God?"

Alma 13:39 And the king saith: "I know that the Amalekites say that there is a God, And I have granted unto them that they should build sanctuaries, that they might assemble themselves together to worship Him; And if now thou sayest there is a God, behold, I will believe."

Alma 13:40 And now when Aaron heard this, his heart began to rejoice and he saith: "Behold, assuredly as thou livest, O king, there is a God."

Alma 13:41 And the king saith: "Is God that Great Spirit that brought our fathers out of the Land of Jerusalem?"

Alma 13:44 And it came to pass that when Aaron saw that the king would believe his words, he began from the creation of Adam, reading the scriptures unto the king - How God created man after His own image, And that God gave him commandments, And that because of transgression, man had fallen.

Alma 13:49 Yea, what shall I do that I may be born of God, having this wicked spirit rooted out of my breast, And receive His Spirit, that I may be filled with joy, that I may not be cast off at the last day?"

Alma 13:51 But Aaron saith unto him: "If thou desirest this thing, if thou will bow down before God, Yea, if thou repent of all thy sins and will bow down before God and call on His name in faith, believing that ye shall receive, Then shalt thou receive the hope which thou desirest."

Alma 13:52 And it came to pass that when Aaron had said these words, the king did bow down before the Lord upon his knees, Yea, even he did prostrate himself upon the earth and cried mightily, saying: "O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God;

Alma 13:53 And if there is a God and if Thou art God, wilt Thou make Thyself known unto me? And I will give away all my sins to know Thee and that I may be raised from the dead and be saved at the last day!"

Alma 14:1 Behold, now it came to pass that the king of the Lamanites sent a proclamation among all his people that they should not lay their hands on Ammon or Aaron or Omner or Himni, Nor neither of their brethren which should go forth preaching the word of God in whatsoever place they should be, in any part of their land.

Alma 14:5 Therefore, he sent this proclamation throughout the land unto his people that the word of God might have no obstruction, But that it might go forth throughout all the land that his people might be convinced concerning the wicked traditions of their fathers,

Alma 14:8 Establishing churches and consecrating priests and teachers throughout the land among the Lamanites, to preach and to teach the word of God among them. And thus they began to have great success,

Alma 14:10 And as sure as the Lord liveth, so sure as many as believed - or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, according to the spirit of revelation and of prophecy and the power of God working miracles in them -

Alma 14:12 They did lay down the weapons of their rebellion that they did not fight against God anymore, neither against any of their brethren.

Alma 14:20 And they began to be a very industrious people, Yea, and they were friendly with the Nephites, Therefore, they did open a correspondence with them and the curse of God did no more follow them.

Alma 14:24 And the king died in that selfsame year that the Lamanites began to make preparations for war against the people of God.

Alma 14:29 Now these are the words which he said unto the people concerning the matter: "I thank my God, my beloved people, that our great God has in goodness sent these our brethren, the Nephites, unto us to preach unto us and to convince us of the traditions of our wicked fathers.

Alma 14:30 "And behold, I thank my great God that He has given us a portion of His Spirit to soften our hearts, that we have opened a correspondence with these brethren, the Nephites.

Alma 14:31 "And behold, I also thank my God that by opening this correspondence, We have been convinced of our sins and of the many murders which we have committed.

Alma 14:32 "And I also thank my God, yea, my great God, that He hath granted unto us that we might repent of these things, And also that He hath forgiven us of these our many sins and murders which we have committed, And took away the guilt from our hearts through the merits of His Son.

Alma 14:33 "And now behold, my brethren, since it has been all that we could do - as we were the most lost of all mankind - to repent of all our sins and the many murders which we have committed and to get God to take them away from our hearts - For it was all we could do to repent sufficiently before God that He would take away our stain -

Alma 14:34 Now, my best beloved brethren, since God hath taken away our stains and our swords have become bright, then let us stain our swords no more with the blood of our brethren.

Alma 14:36 For perhaps if we should stain our swords again, They can no more be washed bright through the blood of the Son of our great God which shall be shed for the atonement of our sins.

Alma 14:37 "And the great God has had mercy on us and made these things known unto us, that we might not perish;

Alma 14:38 Yea, and He hath made these things known unto us beforehand because He loveth our souls, as well as He loveth our children; Therefore, in His mercy He doth visit us by His angels, that the plan of salvation might be made known unto us, as well as unto future generations; O how merciful is our God!

Alma 14:40 Let us hide them away, that they may be kept bright as a testimony to our God at the last day - or at the day that we shall be brought to stand before Him to be judged - that we have not stained our swords in the blood of our brethren since He imparted His word unto us and has made us clean thereby.

Alma 14:41 "And now my brethren, if our brethren seek to destroy us, behold, we will hide away our swords, Yea, even we will bury them deep in the earth, that they may be kept bright as a testimony that we have never used them, at the last day; And if our brethren destroy us, behold, we shall go to our God and shall be saved."

Alma 14:43 And this they did, it being in their view a testimony to God, and also to men, that they never would use weapons again for the shedding of man's blood;

Alma 14:44 And this they did, vouching and covenanting with God that rather than to shed the blood of their brethren, they would give up their own lives,

Alma 14:50 And thus they were in this attitude when the Lamanites began to fall upon them and began to slay them with the sword; And thus without meeting any resistance, they did slay a thousand and five of them; And we know that they are blessed, for they have gone to dwell with their God.

Alma 14:51 Now when the Lamanites saw that their brethren would not flee from the sword, neither would they turn aside to the right hand or to the left, But that they would lay down and perish and praised God, even in the very act of perishing under the sword - Now when the Lamanites saw this, they did forbear from slaying them;

Alma 14:54 And it came to pass that the people of God were joined that day by more than the number which had been slain; And those which had been slain were righteous people, therefore we have no reason to doubt but what they are saved;

Alma 14:58 And thus we can plainly discern that after a people have been once enlightened by the Spirit of God and hath had great knowledge of things pertaining to righteousness and then have fallen away into sin and transgression, They become more hardened; And thus their state becometh worse than as though they had never known these things.

Alma 14:70 And now Abinadi was the first that suffered death by fire because of his belief in God; Now this is what he meant, that many should suffer death by fire according as he had suffered;

Alma 14:73 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that they could not overpower the Nephites, they returned again to their own land; And many of them came over to dwell in the Land of Ishmael and the Land of Nephi and did join themselves to the people of God, which were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi,

Alma 14:79 And now these are the words of Ammon to his brethren, which saith thus: "My brothers and my brethren, behold I say unto you, how great reason have we to rejoice, For could we have supposed when we started from the Land of Zarahemla that God would have granted unto us such great blessings?

Alma 14:81 Behold, I answer for you - For our brethren, the Lamanites, were in darkness, yea, even in the darkest abyss, But behold how many of them are brought to behold the marvelous light of God!

Alma 14:82 And this is the blessing which hath been bestowed upon us - that we have been made instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work.

Alma 14:83 "Behold, thousands of them do rejoice and have been brought into the fold of God;

Alma 14:88 "Blessed be the name of our God! Let us sing to His praise, Yea, let us give thanks to His holy name, For He doth work righteousness forever.

Alma 14:89 "For if we had not come up out of the Land of Zarahemla, these, our dearly beloved brethren which have so dearly beloved us, would still have been racked with hatred against us, Yea, and they would also have been strangers to God."

Alma 14:91 But Ammon saith unto him: "I do not boast in my own strength or in my own wisdom, But behold, my joy is full! Yea, my heart is brim with joy and I will rejoice in my God!

Alma 14:92 Yea, I know that I am nothing; As to my strength, I am weak; Therefore, I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, For in His strength I can do all things."Yea, behold how many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise His name forever!

Alma 14:94 "Yea, we have reason to praise Him forever! For He is the Most High God and has loosed our brethren from the chains of hell;

Alma 14:96 "Yea, and we have been instruments in His hands of doing this great and marvelous work, Therefore, let us glory - yea, we will glory in the Lord! Yea, we will rejoice, for our joy is full! Yea, we will praise our God forever!

Alma 14:98 "Who could have supposed that our God would have been so merciful as to have snatched us from our awful sinful and polluted state?

Alma 14:103 Yea, he that repenteth, and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing, Unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; Yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed;

Alma 14:112 "And now behold, we have come and been forth amongst them, And we have been patient in our sufferings, And we have suffered every privation; Yea, we have traveled from house to house, relying upon the mercies of the world - not upon the mercies of the world alone, but upon the mercies of God;

Alma 14:114 And we have been cast out and mocked and spit upon and smote upon our cheeks, And we have been stoned and taken and bound with strong cords and cast into prison, And through the power and wisdom of God, we have been delivered again;

Alma 14:122 But behold how many of these have laid down their lives; And we know that they have gone to their God because of their love and of their hatred to sin.

Alma 14:124 Yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God, For He has all power, all wisdom and all understanding; He comprehendeth all things; And He is a merciful Being, even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on His name.

Alma 14:126 "Yea, blessed is the name of my God who hath been mindful of this people which are a branch of the tree of Israel and hath been lost from its body in a strange land! Yea, I say blessed be the name of my God who hath been mindful of us wanderers in a strange land!

Alma 14:127 "Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people in whatsoever land they may be in; Yea, He numbereth His people and His bowels of mercy are over all the earth;

Alma 14:128 Now this is my joy and my great thanksgiving! Yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen."

Alma 15:5 Now when Ammon and his brethren saw this work of destruction among those who they so dearly beloved and among those who had so dearly beloved them - for they were treated as though they were angels sent from God to save them from everlasting destruction -

Alma 15:17 Now the joy of Ammon was so great, even that he was full, Yea, he was swallowed up in the joy of his God, even to the exhausting of his strength, And he fell again to the earth;

Alma 15:30 Therefore, they were distinguished by that name ever after; And they were numbered among the people of Nephi, and also numbered among the people which were of the church of God.

Alma 15:31 And they were also distinguished for their zeal toward God, and also toward men, for they were perfectly honest and upright in all things; And they were firm in the faith of Christ, even unto the end.

Alma 15:49 While many thousands of others truly mourn for the loss of their kindred, yet they rejoice and exult in the hope, yea, and even know, according to the promises of the Lord, that they are raised to dwell at the right hand of God in a state of never - ending happiness.

Alma 15:52 O that I were an angel and could have the wish of mine heart! That I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, With a voice to shake the earth and cry repentance unto every people!

Alma 15:53 Yea, I would declare unto every soul as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, That they should repent and come unto our God, That there might be no more sorrow upon all the face of the earth.

Alma 15:55 I had not ought to harrow up in my desires the firm decree of a just God, For I know that He granteth unto men according to their desires, whether it be unto death or unto life, Yea, I know that He allotteth unto man, yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable according to their wills, whether it be unto salvation or unto destruction.

Alma 15:61 Yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; And this is my joy.

Alma 15:62 And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy, Then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that He hath heard my prayer, Yea, then do I remember His merciful arm which He extended toward me.

Alma 15:63 Yea, and I also remember the captivity of my fathers, For I surely do know that the Lord did deliver them out of bondage and by this did establish His church; Yea, the Lord God - the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob - did deliver them out of bondage;

Alma 15:64 Yea, I have always remembered the captivity of my fathers, And that same God who delivered them out of the hands of the Egyptians did deliver them out of bondage, Yea, and that same God did establish His church among them.

Alma 15:65 Yea, and that same God hath called me by a holy calling to preach the word unto this people, And hath given me much success, in the which my joy is full; But I do not joy in my own success alone, but my joy is more full because of the success of my brethren which have been up to the Land of Nephi;

Alma 15:68 And now may God grant unto these, my brethren, that they may sit down in the kingdom of God, yea, and also all those which are the fruit of their labor, That they may go no more out, but that they may praise Him forever;

Alma 15:69 And may God grant that it may be done according to my words, even as I have spoken. Amen.

Alma 16:4 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;

Alma 16:8 Now there was no law against a man's belief, for it was strictly contrary to the commandments of God that there should be a law which should bring men on to unequal grounds,

Alma 16:10 Now if a man desired to serve God, it was his privilege, or rather if he believed in God, it was his privilege to serve Him, But if he did not believe in Him, there was no law to punish him;

Alma 16:35 Yea, they durst not make use of that which is their own, lest they should offend their priests which do yoke them according to their desires, And hath brought them to believe - by their traditions, and their dreams, and their whims, and their visions, and their pretended mysteries - That they should - if they did not do according to their words - offend some Unknown Being, which they say is God, A Being which never hath been seen nor known, which never was nor never will be."

Alma 16:36 Now when the high priest and the chief judge saw the hardness of his heart, Yea, when they saw that he would revile even against God, they would not make any reply to his words;

Alma 16:40 Now Alma saith unto him: "Thou knowest that we do not glut ourselves upon the labors of this people, For behold, I have labored, even from the commencement of the reign of the judges until now, with mine own hands for my support; Notwithstanding my many travels round about the land to declare the word of God unto my people,

Alma 16:46 And then Alma saith unto him: "Believest thou that there is a God?" And he answered: "Nay."

Alma 16:47 Now Alma saith unto him: "If ye deny again that there is a God, and also deny the Christ - For behold, I say unto you, I know there is a God, and also that Christ shall come -

Alma 16:48 And now what evidence have ye that there is no God, or that Christ cometh not? I say unto you that ye have none, save it be your word only;

Alma 16:51 Behold, I know that thou believest, But thou art possessed with a lying spirit; And ye have put off the Spirit of God, that it may have no place in you, But the devil hath power over you; And he doth carry you about, working devices that he may destroy the people of God."

Alma 16:52 And now Korihor saith unto Alma: "If thou wilt show me a sign that I may be convinced that there is a God, Yea, show unto me that He hath power, And then will I be convinced of the truth of thy words."

Alma 16:53 But Alma saith unto him: "Thou hast had signs enough; Will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, 'Show unto me a sign, ' when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets?

Alma 16:54 "The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God - Yea, even the earth and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion,

Alma 16:55 Yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form doth witness that there is a Supreme Creator; And yet do ye go about leading away the hearts of this people, testifying unto them there is no God? And yet will ye deny against all these witnesses?"

Alma 16:59 Therefore, if thou shalt deny again, Behold, God shall smite thee, that thou shalt become dumb, that thou shalt never open thy mouth anymore, that thou shalt not deceive this people anymore."

Alma 16:60 Now Korihor saith unto him: "I do not deny the existence of a God, but I do not believe that there is a God; And I say also that ye do not know that there is a God, And except ye show me a sign, I will not believe."

Alma 16:61 Now Alma saith unto him: "This will I give unto thee for a sign - that thou shalt be struck dumb according to my words; And I say that in the name of God that ye shall be struck dumb, that ye shall no more have utterance."

Alma 16:63 And now when the chief judge saw this, he put forth his hand and wrote unto Korihor, saying: "Art thou convinced of the power of a God?

Alma 16:66 And Korihor put forth his hand and wrote, saying: "I know that I am dumb, for I cannot speak; And I know that nothing, save it were the power of God, could bring this upon me, Yea, and I always knew that there was a God.

Alma 16:67 "But behold, the devil hath deceived me, For he appeared unto me in the form of an angel and said unto me, ' Go and reclaim this people, for they have all gone astray after an Unknown God ';

Alma 16:68 And he saith unto me, 'There is no God, ' Yea, and he taught me that which I should say and I have taught his words; And I taught them because they were pleasing unto the carnal mind;

Alma 16:70 Now when he had said this, he besought that Alma should pray unto God that the curse might be taken from him;

Alma 16:82 And now, as the preaching of the word had had a greater tendency to lead the people to do that which was just, Yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword or anything else which had happened unto them, Therefore, Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.

Alma 16:85 Now the Zoramites were dissenters from the Nephites, therefore they had had the word of God preached unto them;

Alma 16:86 But they had fallen into great errors, for they would not observe to keep the commandments of God and His statutes according to the law of Moses,

Alma 16:87 Neither would they observe the performances of the church to continue in prayer and supplication to God daily, that they might not enter into temptation, Yea, in fine, they did pervert the ways of the Lord in very many instances; Therefore, for this cause Alma and his brethren went into the land to preach the word unto them.

Alma 16:90 Therefore, whosoever desired to worship must go forth and stand upon the top thereof, And stretch forth his hands toward the heavens and cry with a loud voice, saying: "Holy, Holy God! We believe that Thou art God, And we believe that Thou art holy, and that Thou wast a Spirit, and that Thou art a Spirit, and that Thou wilt be a Spirit forever.

Alma 16:91 "Holy God, we believe that Thou hast separated us from our brethren; And we do not believe in the traditions of our brethren which was handed down to them by the childishness of their fathers, But we believe that Thou hast elected us to be Thy holy children;

Alma 16:92 And also, Thou hast made it known unto us that there shall be no Christ, But Thou art the same yesterday, today and forever; And Thou hast elected us that we shall be saved, whilst all around us are elected to be cast by Thy wrath down to hell, For the which holiness, O God, we thank Thee.

Alma 16:93 "And we also thank Thee that Thou hast elected us that we may not be led away after the foolish traditions of our brethren which doth bind them down to a belief of Christ, which doth lead their hearts to wander far from Thee our God;

Alma 16:94 And again, we thank Thee, O God, that we are a chosen and a holy people. Amen."

Alma 16:98 Now from this stand they did offer up, every man, the selfsame prayer unto God, Thanking their God that they were chosen of Him, And that He had not led them away after the tradition of their brethren, And that their hearts were not stolen away to believe in things to come which they knew nothing about.

Alma 16:99 Now when the people had all offered up thanks after this manner, they returned to their homes, Never speaking of their God again until they had assembled themselves together again to the holy stand to offer up thanks after their manner.

Alma 16:103 "Behold, O God, they cry unto Thee, And yet their hearts are swallowed up in their pride.

Alma 16:104 "Behold, O God, they cry unto Thee with their mouths while they are puffed up, even to greatness, with the vain things of the world.

Alma 16:105 "Behold, O my God, their costly apparel, and their ringlets and their bracelets, and their ornaments of gold, and all their precious things which they are ornamented with;

Alma 16:106 And behold, their hearts are set upon them, And yet they cry unto Thee and say, 'We thank Thee, O God, for we are a chosen people unto Thee, ' while others shall perish.

Alma 16:108 "O Lord God, how long wilt Thou suffer that such wickedness and infidelity shall be among this people?

Alma 16:121 And it came to pass that they did go forth and began to preach the word of God unto the people, entering into their synagogues and into their houses, Yea, and even they did preach the word in their streets.

Alma 16:123 Therefore, they were not permitted to enter into their synagogues to worship God, being esteemed as filthiness; Therefore, they were poor, yea, they were esteemed by their priests as dross, Therefore, they were poor as to things of the world, and also they were poor in heart.

Alma 16:126 For they have cast us out of our synagogues which we have labored abundantly to build with our own hands, And they have cast us out because of this our exceeding poverty, that we have no place to worship our God; And behold, what shall we do?"

Alma 16:129 "Behold, thy brother hath said, 'What shall we do, for we are cast out of our synagogues that we cannot worship our God?'

Alma 16:130 "Behold, I say unto you, do ye suppose that ye cannot worship God save it be in your synagogues only?

Alma 16:131 And moreover, I would ask, do ye suppose that ye must not worship God only once in a week?

Alma 16:138 Or rather, in other words, Blessed is he that believeth in the word of God and is baptized without stubbornness of heart, Yea, without being brought to know the word, or even compelled to know, before they will believe.

Alma 16:141 "And now how much more cursed is he that knoweth the will of God and doeth it not, than he that only believeth, or only hath cause to believe, and falleth into transgression? Now of this thing ye must judge.

Alma 16:144 "And now behold I say unto you, and I would that ye should remember that God is merciful unto all who believe on His name; Therefore, He desireth in the first place that ye should believe, yea, even on His word.

Alma 16:174 Now after Alma had spoken these words, they sent forth unto him desiring to know whether they should believe in one God, that they might obtain this fruit of which he had spoken, Or how they should plant the seed, or the word of which he had spoken, which he said must be planted in their hearts, Or in what manner they should begin to exercise their faith.

Alma 16:175 And Alma saith unto them: "Behold, ye have said that ye could not worship your God because ye are cast out of your synagogues.

Alma 16:176 "But behold, I say unto you, if ye say that ye cannot worship your God, ye do greatly err and ye had ought to search the scriptures, For if ye suppose that they have taught you this, ye do not understand them.

Alma 16:178 For he saith: 'Thou art merciful, O God, For Thou hast heard my prayer, even when I was in the wilderness. 'Yea, Thou wast merciful when I prayed concerning those which were mine enemies, And Thou didst turn them to me.

Alma 16:179 'Yea, O God, and Thou wast merciful unto me when I did cry unto Thee in my field, when I did cry unto Thee in my prayer, And Thou didst hear me.

Alma 16:180 'And again, O God, when I did turn to my house, Thou didst hear me in my prayer.

Alma 16:182 'Yea, O God, Thou hast been merciful unto me and heard my cries in the midst of Thy congregations; Yea, and Thou also hast heard me when I have been cast out and have been despised by mine enemies;

Alma 16:187 "Now behold, my brethren, I would ask, If ye have read these scriptures, how can ye disbelieve on the Son of God?

Alma 16:189 "And now my brethren, ye see that a second prophet of old has testified of the Son of God, And because the people would not understand his words, they stoned him to death.

Alma 16:190 "But behold, this is not all - these are not the only ones which have spoken concerning the Son of God -

Alma 16:196 If so, wo shall come upon you; But if not so, then cast about your eyes and begin to believe in the Son of God, that He will come to redeem His people, And that He shall suffer and die to atone for their sins,

Alma 16:200 And then may God grant unto you that your burdens may be light through the joy of His Son; And even all this can ye do, if ye will. Amen."

Alma 16:201 And now it came to pass that after Alma had spoken these words unto them, he sat down upon the ground, And Amulek arose and began to teach them, saying: "My brethren, I think that it is impossible that ye should be ignorant of the things which have been spoken concerning the coming of Christ, who is taught by us to be the Son of God;

Alma 16:203 Yea, even that ye would have so much faith as even to plant the word in your hearts, that ye may try the experiment of its goodness. "And we have beheld that the great question which is in your minds is whether the word be in the Son of God, or whether there shall be no Christ.

Alma 16:205 My brother hath called upon the words of Zenos that redemption cometh through the Son of God, And also upon the words of Zenoch, And also he hath appealed unto Moses to prove that these things are true.

Alma 16:207 Behold, I say unto you that I do know that Christ shall come among the children of men to take upon Him the transgressions of His people, And that He shall atone for the sins of the world, For the Lord God hath spoken it.

Alma 16:208 "For it is expedient that an atonement should be made; For according to the great plans of the Eternal God, there must be an atonement made, or else all mankind must unavoidably perish -

Alma 16:215 "And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law, every whit a pointing to that great and last sacrifice, And that great and last sacrifice will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal. "And thus He shall bring salvation to all those who shall believe on His name,

Alma 16:218 "Therefore, may God grant unto you, my brethren, that ye might begin to exercise your faith unto repentance, That ye begin to call upon His holy name that He would have mercy upon you; Yea, cry unto Him for mercy, for He is mighty to save;

Alma 16:228 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; Yea, behold, the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.

Alma 16:231 "Ye cannot say when ye are brought to that awful crisis that ' I will repent, that I will return to my God ';

Alma 16:237 "And now my beloved brethren, I desire that ye should remember these things, And that ye should work out your salvation with fear before God, And that ye should no more deny the coming of Christ, That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, But that ye receive it and take upon you the name of Christ, That ye humble yourselves even to the dust and worship God in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth,

Alma 16:256 And Alma and Ammon and their brethren, and also the two sons of Alma, returned to the Land of Zarahemla after having been instruments in the hands of God of bringing many of the Zoramites to repentance, And as many as were brought to repentance were driven out of their land;

Alma 17:1 My son, give ear to my words, For I swear unto you that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God, ye shall prosper in the land;

Alma 17:2 I would that ye should do as I have done in remembering the captivity of our fathers, For they were in bondage and none could deliver them except it was the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, And He surely did deliver them in their afflictions.

Alma 17:3 And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy youth, And, therefore, I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; For I do know that whomsoever shall put his trust in God shall be supported in their trials and their troubles and their afflictions and shall be lifted up at the last day;

Alma 17:4 And I would not that ye think that I know of myself - not of the temporal, but of the spiritual, not of the carnal mind, but of God.

Alma 17:5 Now behold, I say unto you, if I had not been born of God, I should not have known these things; But God hath by the mouth of His holy angel made these things known unto me, Not of any worthiness of myself, for I went about with the sons of Mosiah seeking to destroy the church of God; But behold, God sent His holy angel to stop us by the way;

Alma 17:7 But behold, the voice said unto me, "Arise!" And I arose and stood up and beheld the angel, And he said unto me: "If thou wilt of thyself be destroyed, seek no more to destroy the church of God!"

Alma 17:9 And the angel spake more things unto me which were heard by my brethren, but I did not hear them, For when I heard the words - "If thou wilt be destroyed of thyself, seek no more to destroy the church of God!" - I was struck with such great fear and amazement, lest perhaps that I should be destroyed, that I fell to the earth and I did hear no more;

Alma 17:11 Yea, I saw that I had rebelled against my God and that I had not kept His holy commandments, Yea, and I had murdered many of His children, or rather, led them away unto destruction,

Alma 17:12 Yea, and in fine, so great had been my iniquities that the very thoughts of coming into the presence of my God did rack my soul with inexpressible horror;

Alma 17:13 O, thought I, that I could be banished and become extinct, both soul and body! That I might not be brought to stand in the presence of my God to be judged of my deeds!

Alma 17:15 And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment - while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins - Behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.

Alma 17:16 Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart, O Jesus, Thou Son of God, have mercy on me who art in the gall of bitterness and art encircled about by the everlasting chains of death!

Alma 17:20 Yea, and methought I saw, even as our father Lehi saw, God sitting upon His throne surrounded with numberless concourses of angels in the attitude of singing and praising their God, Yea, and my soul did long to be there;

Alma 17:21 But behold, my limbs did receive their strength again, And I stood upon my feet and did manifest unto the people that I had been born of God;

Alma 17:22 Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing that I might bring souls unto repentance, That I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste, That they might also be born of God and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Alma 17:23 Yea, and now behold, O my son, the Lord doth give me exceeding great joy in the fruits of my labors, For because of the word which He hath imparted unto me, Behold, many hath been born of God, and hath tasted, as I have tasted, and hath seen eye to eye, as I have seen;

Alma 17:24 Therefore, they do know of these things of which I have spoken, as I do know, And the knowledge which I have is of God.

Alma 17:25 And I have been supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all manner of afflictions, Yea, God hath delivered me from prisons and from bonds and from death, Yea, and I do put my trust in Him and He will still deliver me;

Alma 17:29 But behold, my son, this is not all - For ye had ought to know, as I do know, that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God, ye shall prosper in the land,

Alma 17:30 And ye had ought to know also that inasmuch as ye will not keep the commandments of God, ye shall be cut off from His presence; Now this is according to His word.

Alma 17:36 And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about His great and eternal purposes, And by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls.

Alma 17:37 And now, it hath hitherto been wisdom in God that these things should be preserved; For behold, they have enlarged the memory of this people, Yea, and convinced many of the error of their ways, And brought them to the knowledge of their God, unto the salvation of their souls;

Alma 17:39 Yea, these records and their words brought them unto repentance, That is, they brought them to the knowledge of the Lord their God and to rejoice in Jesus Christ their Redeemer;

Alma 17:42 And it may suffice if I only say they are preserved for a wise purpose, which purpose is known unto God, For He doth counsel in wisdom over all His works, And His paths are strait, And His course is one eternal round.

Alma 17:43 O remember, remember, my son Helaman, how strict are the commandments of God!

Alma 17:45 And now remember, my son, that God hath entrusted you with these things which are sacred, which He hath kept sacred, And also which He will keep and preserve for a wise purpose in Him, that He may show forth His power unto future generations.

Alma 17:46 And now behold, I tell you by the spirit of prophecy that if ye trangress the commandments of God, Behold, these things which are sacred shall be taken away from you by the power of God, And ye shall be delivered up unto Satan that he may sift you as chaff before the wind;

Alma 17:47 But if ye keep the commandments of God and do with these things which are sacred, according to that which the Lord doth command you - for you must appeal unto the Lord for all things whatsoever ye must do with them - Behold, no power of earth or hell can take them from you; For God is powerful to the fulfilling of all His words,

Alma 17:51 Therefore, I command you, my son Helaman, that ye be diligent in fulfilling all my words, And that ye be diligent in keeping the commandments of God as they are written.

Alma 17:56 And now, my son, these directors were prepared that the word of God might be fulfilled which He spake, saying: "I will bring forth out of darkness unto light all their secret works and their abominations;

Alma 17:58 And now my son, we see that they did not repent, Therefore, they have been destroyed; And thus far the word of God hath been fulfilled, Yea, their secret abominations have been brought out of darkness and made known unto us.

Alma 17:60 For behold, there is a curse upon all this land that destruction shall come upon all those workers of darkness - according to the power of God - when they are fully ripe. Therefore, I desire that this people might not be destroyed;

Alma 17:63 For behold, they murdered all the prophets of the Lord which came among them to declare unto them concerning their iniquities, And the blood of those which they murdered did cry unto the Lord their God for vengeance upon those which were their murderers.

Alma 17:64 And thus the judgments of God did come upon these workers of darkness and secret combinations; Yea, and cursed be the land forever and ever unto those workers of darkness and secret combinations, even unto destruction, except they repent before they are fully ripe.

Alma 17:68 O remember, my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth, Yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God, Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support,

Alma 17:70 Yea, when thou liest down at night, lie down unto the Lord that He may watch over you in your sleep, And when thou risest in the morning, let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; And if ye always do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

Alma 17:73 And behold, it was prepared to show unto our fathers the course which they should travel in the wilderness. And it did work for them according to their faith in God;

Alma 17:74 Therefore, if they had faith to believe that God could cause that those spindles should point the way they should go, Behold, it was done; Therefore, they had this miracle, and also many other miracles wrought by the power of God, day by day;

Alma 17:83 And now my son, see that ye take care of these sacred things, Yea, see that ye look to God and live;

Alma 18:1 My son, give ear to my words, For I say unto you, even as I said unto Helaman, that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God, ye shall prosper in the land, And inasmuch as ye will not keep the commandments of God, ye shall be cut off from His presence.

Alma 18:2 And now my son, I trust that I shall have great joy in you because of your steadiness and your faithfulness unto God; For as you have commenced in your youth to look to the Lord your God, Even so I hope that you will continue in keeping His commandments; For blessed is he that endureth to the end.

Alma 18:5 And now my son Shiblon, I would that ye should remember that as much as ye shall put your trust in God, Even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, And ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

Alma 18:6 Now my son, I would not that ye should think that I know these things of myself, But it is the Spirit of God which is in me which maketh these things known unto me, For if I had not been born of God, I should not have known these things;

Alma 18:16 Do not say, "O God, I thank Thee that we are better than our brethren, " But rather say, "O Lord, forgive my unworthiness and remember my brethren in mercy" - Yea, acknowledge your unworthiness before God at all times.

Alma 19:1 And now my son, I have somewhat more to say unto thee than what I said unto thy brother; For behold, have ye not observed the steadiness of thy brother, his faithfulness and his diligence in keeping the commandments of God?

Alma 19:9 Yea, and whosoever murdereth against the light and knowledge of God, it is not easy for him to obtain forgiveness, Yea, I say unto you my son, that it is not easy for him to obtain a forgiveness!

Alma 19:10 And now my son, I would to God that ye had not been guilty of so great a crime;

Alma 19:12 But behold, ye cannot hide your crimes from God, And except ye repent, they will stand as a testimony against you at the last day.

Alma 19:13 Now my son, I would that ye should repent and forsake your sins and go no more after the lusts of your eyes, but cross yourself in all these things, For except ye do this, ye can in no wise inherit the kingdom of God;

Alma 19:19 Therefore, I command you, my son, in the fear of God, that ye refrain from your iniquities, That ye turn to the Lord with all your mind, might and strength, That ye lead away the hearts of no more to do wickedly;

Alma 19:25 Behold, I say unto you, is not a soul at this time as precious unto God as a soul will be at the time of His coming?

Alma 19:31 Now I unfold unto you a mystery - nevertheless, there are many mysteries which are kept that no one knoweth them save God Himself,

Alma 19:32 But I show unto you one thing which I have inquired diligently of God that I might know - that is, concerning the resurrection.

Alma 19:34 Now when this time cometh, no one knows, But God knoweth the time which is appointed;

Alma 19:35 Now whether there shall be one time or a second time or a third time that men shall come forth from the dead, it mattereth not, For God knoweth all these things; And it sufficeth me to know that this is the case, that there is a time appointed that all shall rise from the dead.

Alma 19:38 Now whether there is more than one time appointed for men to rise, it mattereth not, For all do not die at once, and this mattereth not; All is as one day with God and time only is measured unto man;

Alma 19:41 And when the time cometh when all shall rise, then shall they know that God knoweth all the times which are appointed unto man.

Alma 19:43 Behold, it hath been made known unto me by an angel that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, Yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life.

Alma 19:47 Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked, yea, in darkness, And a state of awful, fearful, looking for, of the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them; Thus they remain in this state, as well as the righteous in paradise, until the time of their resurrection.

Alma 19:56 But whether it be at His resurrection, or after, I do not say. But this much I say - that there is a space between death and the resurrection of the body, and a state of the soul in happiness or in misery, Until the time which is appointed of God that the dead shall come forth and be reunited, both soul and body, And be brought to stand before God and be judged according to their works.

Alma 19:59 And now my son, this is the restoration of which has been spoken by the mouths of the prophets, And then shall the righteous shine forth in the kingdom of God.

Alma 19:60 But behold, an awful death cometh upon the wicked, For they die as to things pertaining to things of righteousness, For they are unclean and no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of God;

Alma 19:64 I say unto thee, my son, that the plan of restoration is requisite with the justice of God, For it is requisite that all things should be restored to their proper order;

Alma 19:66 And it is requisite with the justice of God that men should be judged according to their works; And if their works were good in this life and the desires of their hearts were good, that they should also at the last day be restored unto that which is good;

Alma 19:67 And if his works are evil, they shall be restored unto him for evil. Therefore, all things shall be restored to its proper order - everything to its natural frame, mortality raised to immortality, corruption to incorruption, Raised to endless happiness, to inherit the kingdom of God, Or, to endless misery, to inherit the kingdom of the devil;

Alma 19:71 Now the decrees of God are unalterable; Therefore, the way is prepared that whosoever will may walk therein and be saved.

Alma 19:72 And now behold, my son, do not risk one more offense against your God upon those points of doctrine which ye hath hitherto risked to commit sin;

Alma 19:75 And now, my son, all men that are in a state of nature - or I would say in a carnal state - are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity; They are without God in the world, And they have gone contrary to the nature of God, Therefore, they are in a state contrary to the nature of happiness.

Alma 19:81 And now, my son, I perceive there is somewhat more which doth worry your mind which ye cannot understand, Which is concerning the justice of God in the punishment of the sinner, For ye do try to suppose that it is injustice that the sinner should be consigned to a state of misery.

Alma 19:82 Now behold, my son, I will explain this thing unto thee. For behold, after the Lord God sent our first parents forth from the garden of Eden to till the ground, from whence he was taken, Yea, He drove out the man and He placed at the east end of the garden of Eden cherubim and flaming sword which turned every way to keep the tree of life -

Alma 19:83 Now we see that the man had become as God, knowing good and evil, And lest he should put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and live forever, That the Lord God placed cherubim and the flaming sword that he should not partake of the fruit.

Alma 19:84 And thus we see that there was a time granted unto man to repent, Yea, a probationary time - A time to repent and serve God.

Alma 19:85 For behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately and partook of the tree of life, He would have lived forever, according to the word of God, having no space for repentance;

Alma 19:86 Yea, and also the word of God would have been void, And the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated.

Alma 19:95 Now the work of justice could not be destroyed - If so, God would cease to be God.

Alma 19:96 And thus we see that all mankind were fallen; And they were in the grasp of justice, yea, the justice of God which consigned them forever to be cut off from His presence.

Alma 19:97 And now the plan of mercy could not be brought about, except an atonement should be made; Therefore, God Himself atoneth for the sins of the world to bring about the plan of mercy to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God and a merciful God also.

Alma 19:104 But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and repentance granted, which repentance mercy claimeth; Otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law, And the law inflicteth the punishment; If not so, the works of justice would be destroyed and God would cease to be God.

Alma 19:105 But God ceaseth not to be God, And mercy claimeth the penitent, And mercy cometh because of the atonement; And the atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead, And the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God.

Alma 19:107 What! Do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? I say unto you, nay, not one whit; If so, God would cease to be God!

Alma 19:108 And thus God bringeth about His great and eternal purposes which were prepared from the foundation of the world.

Alma 19:111 If he hath desired to do evil and hath not repented in his days, Behold, evil shall be done unto him, according to the restoration of God.

Alma 19:113 O my son, I desire that ye should deny the justice of God no more;

Alma 19:114 Do not endeavor to excuse yourself in the least point because of your sins, by denying the justice of God, But do you let the justice of God and His mercy and His longsuffering have full sway in your heart, But let it bring you down to the dust in humility.

Alma 19:115 And now O my son, ye are called of God to preach the word unto this people.

Alma 19:117 And may God grant unto you even according to my word. Amen.

Alma 20:2 Now, we shall say no more concerning their preaching, except that they preached the word and the truth according to the spirit of prophecy and revelation, And they preached after the holy order of God by which they were called.

Alma 20:10 yea, and also their liberty, That they might worship God according to their desires; For they knew that if they should fall into the hands of the Lamanites, That whosoever should worship God in spirit and in truth, the true and the living God, the Lamanites would destroy.

Alma 20:51 And they were doing that which they felt it was the duty which they owed to their God, For the Lord had said unto them, and also unto their fathers that, "Inasmuch as ye are not guilty of the first offense, neither the second, Ye shall not suffer yourselves to be slain by the hands of your enemies."

Alma 20:55 And it came to pass that they turned upon the Lamanites, And they cried with one voice unto the Lord their God for their liberty and their freedom from bondage;

Alma 20:68 Now ye see that this is the true faith of God, Yea, ye see that God will support and keep and preserve us, so long as we are faithful unto Him and unto our faith and our religion;

Alma 20:70 "And now, Zerahemnah, I command you in the name of that all - powerful God who hath strengthened our arms that we have gained power over you - By our faith, By our religion, And by our rights of worship, And by our church, And by the sacred support which we owe to our wives and our children, By that liberty which binds us to our lands and our country, Yea, and also by the maintenance of the sacred word of God to which we owe all our happiness,

Alma 20:76 "Behold, we are not of your faith; We do not believe that it is God that hath delivered us into your hands, But we believe it is your cunning that hath preserved you from our swords;

Alma 21:2 Therefore, they gave thanks unto the Lord their God, Yea, and they did fast much and pray much, And they did worship God with exceeding great joy.

Alma 21:17 And he said: "Thus saith the Lord God: 'Cursed shall be the land, yea, this land, unto every nation, kindred, tongue and people, unto destruction, which do wickedly, when they are fully ripe.'

Alma 21:18 "And as I have said, so shall it be; For this is the cursing and the blessing of God upon the land, For the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance."

Alma 21:24 For behold, because of their wars with the Lamanites, and the many little dissensions and disturbances which had been among the people, It became expedient that the word of God should be declared among them, Yea, and that a regulation should be made throughout the church;

Alma 21:28 But they grew proud, being lifted up in their hearts because of their exceeding great riches; Therefore, they grew rich in their own eyes and would not give heed to their words to walk uprightly before God.

Alma 21:37 Thus we see how quick the children of men doth forget the Lord their God, Yea, how quick to do iniquity and to be led away by the evil one. Yea, and we also see the great wickedness one very wicked man can cause to take place among the children of men.

Alma 21:39 Yea, and to seek to destroy the church of God and to destroy the foundation of liberty which God had granted unto them, Or which blessing God had sent upon the face of the land for the righteous' sake.

Alma 21:41 And it came to pass that he rent his coat, And he took a piece thereof and wrote upon it - "In memory of our God, our religion and freedom and our peace, our wives and our children" - And he fastened it upon the end of a pole thereof;

Alma 21:43 And he bowed himself to the earth, And he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren, so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land -

Alma 21:44 For thus were all the true believers of Christ which belonged to the church of God called by those who did not belong to the church, And those who did belong to the church were faithful,

Alma 21:46 And it came to pass that when he had poured out his soul to God, He gave all the land which was south of the Land Desolation, Yea, and in fine all the land, both on the north and on the south, a chosen land and the land of liberty.

Alma 21:47 And he saith: "Surely God shall not suffer that we who are despised because we take upon us the name of Christ shall be trodden down and destroyed, until we bring it upon us by our own trangressions."

Alma 21:49 "Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, Let them come forth in the strength of the Lord and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them."

Alma 21:50 And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words, Behold, the people came running together with their armors girded about their loins, rending their garments in token, or as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God -

Alma 21:51 Or, in other words, if they should trangress the commandments of God, Or fall into transgression and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ, The Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

Alma 21:52 Now this was the covenant which they made, And they cast their garments at the feet of Moroni, saying: "We covenant with our God that we shall be destroyed, even as our brethren in the Land Northward, if we shall fall into transgression;

Alma 21:55 Yea, and now behold, let us remember to keep the commandments of God, Or our garments shall be rent by our brethren and we be cast into prison or be sold or be slain; Yea, let us preserve our liberty, as a remnant of Joseph;

Alma 21:57 "And he saith: 'Even as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved, So shall a remnant of the seed of my son be preserved by the hand of God and be taken unto Himself, While the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish, even as the remnant of his garment.

Alma 21:58 'Now behold, this giveth my soul sorrow; Nevertheless, my soul hath joy in my son because that part of his seed which shall be taken unto God.'

Alma 21:76 But not so much so with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots which God had prepared to remove the cause of diseases to which man was susceptible by the nature of the climate -

Alma 21:122 Drinking in with the traditions of the Lamanites, Giving way to indolence and all manner of lasciviousness, Yea, entirely forgetting the Lord their God.

Alma 21:128 Now it came to pass that while Amalickiah had thus been obtaining power by fraud and deceit, Moroni, on the other hand, had been a preparing the minds of the people to be faithful unto the Lord their God.

Alma 21:131 And thus he was preparing to support their liberty, their lands, their wives and their children and their peace, And that they might live unto the Lord their God, And that they might maintain that which was called by their enemies the cause of Christians.

Alma 21:133 Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God for the many privileges and blessings which He bestowed upon His people, A man who did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people,

Alma 21:137 And this was their faith - That by so doing, God would prosper them in the land, Or in other words, if they were faithful in keeping the commandments of God, that He would prosper them in the land, Yea, warn them to flee or to prepare for war, according to their danger,

Alma 21:138 And also that God would make it known unto them whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies, And by so doing the Lord would deliver them. And this was the faith of Moroni,

Alma 21:139 And his heart did glory in it - Not in the shedding of blood, but in doing good - in preserving his people, yea, in keeping the commandments of God, yea, and resisting iniquity.

Alma 21:141 Behold, he was a man like unto Ammon, the son of Mosiah, Yea, and even the other sons of Mosiah, Yea, and also Alma and his sons, for they were all men of God.

Alma 21:142 Now behold, Helaman and his brethren were no less serviceable unto the people than was Moroni, For they did preach the word of God, And they did baptize unto repentance all men whosoever would hearken unto their words.

Alma 21:146 Now they were sorry to take up arms against the Lamanites because they did not delight in the shedding of blood; Yea, and this was not all - They were sorry to be the means of sending so many of their brethren out of this world into an eternal world unprepared to meet their God;

Alma 21:148 Yea, they could not bear that their brethren should rejoice over the blood of the Nephites so long as there were any who should keep the commandments of God, For the promises of the Lord were if they should keep His commandments, they should prosper in the land.

Alma 21:183 Yea, he was exceeding wroth, And he did curse God and also Moroni, And swearing with an oath that he would drink his blood; And this because Moroni had kept the commandments of God in preparing for the safety of his people.

Alma 21:184 And it came to pass that on the other hand, the people of Nephi did thank the Lord their God because of His miraculous power in delivering them from the hands of their enemies.

Alma 21:185 And thus ended the nineteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi; Yea, and there was continual peace among them and exceeding great prosperity in the church because of their heed and diligence which they gave unto the word of God, Which was declared unto them by Helaman and Shiblon and Coreanton and Ammon and his brethren, etc.,

Alma 21:186 Yea, and by all those which had been ordained by the holy order of God, Being baptized unto repentance and sent forth to preach among the people, etc.

Alma 22:40 And it came to pass that in the same year that the people of Nephi had peace restored unto them, That Nephihah, the second chief judge, died, having filled the judgment seat with perfect uprightness before God;

Alma 22:42 Behold, it came to pass that the son of Nephihah was appointed to fill the judgment seat in the stead of his father; Yea, he was appointed chief judge and governor over the people, with an oath and sacred ordinance to judge righteously, And to keep the peace and the freedom of the people, And to grant unto them their sacred privileges to worship the Lord their God,

Alma 22:43 Yea, to support and maintain the cause of God all his days, And to bring the wicked to justice according to their crime. Now behold, his name was Pahoron;

Alma 24:63 And now behold, I have somewhat to say concerning the people of Ammon which, in the beginning, were Lamanites; But by Ammon and his brethren - or rather, by the power and word of God - they had been converted unto the Lord;

Alma 24:77 Yea, they were men of truth and soberness, For they had been taught to keep the commandments of God and to walk uprightly before Him.

Alma 25:6 "Behold, I would tell you something concerning the justice of God and the sword of His almighty wrath which doth hang over you, Except ye repent and withdraw your armies into your own lands, or the lands of your possessions, which is the Land of Nephi."Yea, I would tell you these things if ye were capable of hearkening unto them;

Alma 25:9 "And now behold, we are prepared to receive you; Yea, and except you withdraw your purposes, Behold, ye will pull down the wrath of that God whom you have rejected upon you, yea, even to your utter destruction;

Alma 25:10 But, as the Lord liveth, our armies shall come upon you, except ye withdraw, And ye shall soon be visited with death; For we will retake our cities and our lands, Yea, and we will maintain our religion and the cause of our God.

Alma 25:23 "And as concerning that God whom ye say we have rejected, Behold, we know not such a Being; Neither do ye; But if it so be that there is such a Being, we know not but that He hath made us as well as you;

Alma 25:58 But behold, the Nephites were not slow to remember the Lord their God in this, their times of affliction;

Alma 26:8 But I would not suffer them that they should break this covenant which they had made, Supposing that God would strengthen us insomuch that we should not suffer more because of the fulfilling the oath which they had taken.

Alma 26:12 Nevertheless, we may console ourselves in this point - that they have died in the cause of their country and of their God, yea, and they are happy.

Alma 26:54 For as I had ever called them my sons - for they were all of them very young - even so they said unto me: ' Father, behold, our God is with us and He will not suffer that we shall fall, Then let us go forth;

Alma 26:56 "Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; And they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; Yea, they had been taught by their mothers that if they did not doubt, that God would deliver them;

Alma 26:66 But behold, to my great joy, there had not one soul of them fallen to the earth! Yea, and they had fought as if with the strength of God; Yea, never were men known to have fought with such miraculous strength;

Alma 26:101 Nevertheless, according to the goodness of God - and to our great astonishment, and also the joy of our whole army - there was not one soul of them which did perish, Yea, and neither was there one soul among them which had not received many wounds;

Alma 26:103 "And we do justly ascribe it to the miraculous power of God, because of their exceeding faith in that which they had been taught to believe - That there was a just God, And whosoever did not doubt, that they should be preserved by His marvelous power.

Alma 26:104 "Now this was the faith of these of which I have spoken; They are young and their minds are firm, And they do put their trust in God continually.

Alma 26:115 And blessed is the name of our God! For behold, it is He that hath delivered us, yea, that hath done this great thing for us.'

Alma 26:116 "Now it came to pass that when I, Helaman, had heard these words of Gid, I was filled with exceeding joy, Because of the goodness of God in preserving us that we might not all perish;

Alma 26:117 Yea, and I trust that the souls of them which have been slain have entered into the rest of their God.

Alma 26:130 "And now the cause of these our embarrassments, or the cause why they did not send more strength unto us, we knew not; Therefore, we were grieved, and also filled with fear, lest by any means the judgments of God should come upon our land to our overthrow and utter destruction;

Alma 26:131 Therefore, we did pour out our souls in prayer to God that He would strengthen us and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies, Yea, and also give us strength that we might retain our cities and our lands and our possessions for the support of our people.

Alma 26:132 "Yea, and it came to pass that the Lord our God did visit us with assurances that He would deliver us, Yea, insomuch that He did speak peace to our souls and did grant unto us great faith and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in Him;

Alma 26:159 "But behold, we trust that our God who hath given us victory over those lands, Insomuch that we have obtained those cities and those lands which were our own -

Alma 26:163 But behold, it mattereth not - "We trust God will deliver us notwithstanding the weakness of our armies, Yea, and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies.

Alma 26:166 "But behold, they have received many wounds; Nevertheless, they stand fast in that liberty wherewith God hath made them free;

Alma 26:167 And they are strict to remember the Lord their God from day to day; Yea, they do observe to keep His statutes and His judgments and His commandments continually; And their faith is strong in the prophecies concerning that which is to come.

Alma 26:168 "And now my beloved brother Moroni, that the Lord our God who hath redeemed us and made us free may keep you continually in His presence,

Alma 27:26 But behold, ye have neglected them insomuch that the blood of thousands shall come upon your heads for vengeance; Yea, for known unto God were all their cries and all their sufferings.

Alma 27:27 "Behold, could ye suppose that ye could sit upon your thrones, And because of the exceeding goodness of God, ye could do nothing and He would deliver you? Behold, if ye have supposed this, ye have supposed in vain.

Alma 27:29 "And behold, it is to your condemnation; For the Lord suffereth the righteous to be slain that His justice and judgment may come upon the wicked; Therefore, ye need not suppose that the righteous are lost because they are slain; But behold, they do enter into the rest of the Lord their God.

Alma 27:30 "And now behold, I say unto you, I fear exceedingly that the judgments of God will come upon this people because of their exceeding slothfulness, Yea, even the slothfulness of our government and their exceeding great neglect toward their brethren, yea, toward those which have been slain.

Alma 27:38 "Have ye forgot the commandments of the Lord your God? Yea, have ye forgot the captivity of our fathers?

Alma 27:42 "Do ye suppose that God will look upon you as guiltless, while ye sit still and behold these things? Behold, I say unto you, Nay!

Alma 27:43 "Now I would that ye should remember that God hath said that the inward vessel shall be cleansed first, And then shall the outer vessel be cleansed also.

Alma 27:45 "And except ye grant mine epistle and come out and show unto me a true spirit of freedom, And strive to strengthen and fortify our armies and grant unto them food for their support, Behold, I will leave a part of my Freemen to maintain this part of our land; And I will leave the strength and the blessings of God upon them, that none other power can operate against them - and this because of their exceeding faith and their patience in their tribulations -

Alma 27:47 "Yea, behold I do not fear your power nor your authority, But it is my God whom I fear; And it is according to His commandments that I do take my sword to defend the cause of my country; And it is because of your iniquity that we have suffered so much loss.

Alma 27:53 "Ye know that ye do transgress the laws of God, And ye do know that ye do trample them under your feet.

Alma 27:55 "And now behold, I, Moroni, am constrained, according to the covenant which I have made, to keep the commandments of my God; Therefore, I would that ye should adhere to the word of God and send speedily unto me of your provisions and of your men, and also to Helaman;

Alma 27:56 And behold, if ye will not do this, I come unto you speedily; For behold, God will not suffer that we should perish with hunger; Therefore, He will give unto us of your food, even if it must be by the sword;

Alma 27:57 Now see that ye fulfill the word of God.

Alma 27:59 I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God and the freedom and welfare of my country; And thus I close mine epistle."

Alma 28:13 My soul standeth fast in that liberty in the which God hath made us free!

Alma 28:17 We would subject ourselves to the yoke of bondage, if it were requisite with the justice of God, or if He should command us so to do.

Alma 28:19 Therefore, my beloved brother Moroni, let us resist evil; And whatsoever evil we cannot resist with our words - yea, such as rebellions and dissensions - Let us resist them with our swords, that we may retain our freedom, That we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God.

Alma 28:20 "Therefore, come unto me speedily with a few of your men, And leave the remainder in the charge of Lehi and Teancum; Give unto them power to conduct the war in that part of the land, according to the Spirit of God - which is also the spirit of freedom - which is in them;

Alma 28:22 "Gather together whatsoever force ye can upon your march hither; And we will go speedily against those dissenters in the strength of our God, according to the faith which is in us,

Alma 28:26 "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.

Alma 29:2 But he did also mourn exceedingly because of the iniquity of those who had driven Pahoron from the judgment seat; Yea, in fine, because of those who had rebelled against their country, and also their God.

Alma 29:51 And many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility.

Alma 29:54 And Pahoron did return to his judgment seat; And Helaman did take upon him again to preach unto the people the word of God, For because of so many wars and contentions, it had become expedient that a regulation should be made again in the church;

Alma 29:55 Therefore, Helaman and his brethren went forth and did declare the word of God with much power, Unto the convincing of many people of their wickedness, which did cause them to repent of their sins and to be baptized unto the Lord their God.

Alma 29:56 And it came to pass that they did establish again the church of God throughout all the land; Yea, and regulations were made concerning the law;

Alma 29:59 And they began to grow exceeding rich. But notwithstanding their riches or their strength or their prosperity, they were not lifted up in the pride of their eyes; Neither were they slow to remember the Lord their God, But they did humble themselves exceedingly before Him;

Alma 29:61 And they did pray unto the Lord their God continually, insomuch that the Lord did bless them according to His word, So that they did wax strong and prosper in the land.

Alma 30:2 And he was a just man, And he did walk uprightly before God, And he did observe to do good continually, to keep the commandments of the Lord his God, and also did his brother.

Helaman 2:18 Nevertheless, Helaman did fill the judgment seat with justice and equity; Yea, he did observe to keep the statutes and the judgments and the commandments of God; And he did do that which was right in the sight of God continually; And he did walk after the ways of his father, insomuch that he did prosper in the land.

Helaman 2:24 And it came to pass that the work of the Lord did prosper, unto the baptizing and the uniting to the church of God many souls, yea, even tens of thousands.

Helaman 2:25 Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon His holy name. Yea, thus we see that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe on the name of Jesus Christ, which is the Son of God.

Helaman 2:26 Yea, we see that whosoever will lay hold upon the word of God, which is quick and powerful, Which shall divide asunder all the cunning and the snares and the wiles of the devil, And lead the man of Christ in a strait and narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery which is prepared to engulf the wicked, And land their souls, yea, their immortal souls, at the right hand of God in the kingdom of heaven, To sit down with Abraham and Isaac and with Jacob and with all our holy fathers to go no more out.

Helaman 2:29 And in the fifty and first year of the reign of the judges, there was peace also, Save it were the pride which began to enter into the church - Not into the church of God, but into the hearts of the people who professed to belong to the church of God - And they were lifted up in pride, even to the persecution of many of their brethren.

Helaman 2:31 Nevertheless, they did fast and pray oft, And did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, And firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, Unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, Yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, Which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.

Helaman 2:34 And it came to pass that he did fill the judgment seat with justice and equity; Yea, he did keep the commandments of God and did walk in the ways of his father.

Helaman 2:44 Now this great loss of the Nephites, and the great slaughter which was among them, would not have happened had it not been for their wickedness and their abomination which was among them; Yea, and it was among those also which professed to belong to the church of God.

Helaman 2:55 Yea, they began to remember the prophecies of Alma and also the words of Mosiah. And they saw that they had been a stiff-necked people, And that they had set at naught the commandments of God;

Helaman 2:58 And because of their iniquity, The church had begun to dwindle; And they began to disbelieve in the spirit of prophecy and in the spirit of revelation; And the judgments of God did stare them in the face.

Helaman 2:60 Therefore, the Lord did cease to preserve them by His miraculous and matchless power, For they had fallen into a state of unbelief and awful wickedness. And they saw that the Lamanites were more exceeding numerous than they, And except they should repent unto the Lord, their God, They must unavoidably perish.

Helaman 2:66 And it came to pass that Nephi had become weary because of their iniquity, And he yielded up the judgment seat and took it upon him to preach the word of God all the remainder of his days, And his brother Lehi also, all the remainder of his days; For they remembered the words which their father Helaman spake unto them.

Helaman 2:67 And these are the words which he spake: "Behold, my sons, I desire that ye should remember to keep the commandments of God; And I would that ye should declare unto the people these words.

Helaman 2:74 "And now my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the Rock of our Redeemer, which is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; That when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind,

Helaman 2:77 And they did remember his words; And therefore, they went forth - keeping the commandments of God - to teach the word of God among all the people of Nephi, Beginning at the City Bountiful, and from thenceforth to the City of Gid, and from the City of Gid to the City of Mulek;

Helaman 2:89 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did stand forth and began to speak unto them, saying: "Fear not! For behold, it is God that hath shown unto you this marvelous thing, In the which is shown unto you that ye cannot lay your hands on us to slay us."

Helaman 2:99 Now there was one among them who was a Nephite by birth who had once belonged to the church of God but had dissented from them;

Helaman 2:105 Now the man's name was Aminadab; And Aminadab saith unto them: "They do converse with the angels of God."

Helaman 2:111 And behold, the Holy Spirit of God did come down from heaven and did enter into their hearts, And they were filled as if with fire; And they could speak forth marvelous words.

Helaman 2:119 For behold, there were many of the Nephites which had become hardened and impenitent and grossly wicked, Insomuch that they did reject the word of God and all the preaching and prophesying which did come among them.

Helaman 2:120 Nevertheless, the people of the church did have great joy because of the conversion of the Lamanites, Yea, because of the church of God which had been established among them;

Helaman 2:123 Yea, and many did preach with exceeding great power and authority, Unto the bringing down many of them into the depths of humility, to be the humble followers of God and of the Lamb.

Helaman 2:147 And thus they might murder and plunder and steal and commit whoredoms and all manner of wickedness contrary to the laws of their country, and also the laws of their God;

Helaman 2:158 Yea, the more part of them had turned out of the way of righteousness, And did trample under their feet the commandments of God, And did turn unto their own ways, And did build up unto themselves idols of their gold and of their silver.

Helaman 2:161 And thus we see that the Nephites did begin to dwindle in unbelief and grow in wickedness and abominations, While the Lamanites began to grow exceedingly in the knowledge of their God; Yea, they did begin to keep His statutes and commandments and to walk in truth and uprightness before Him.

Helaman 2:164 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did hunt the band of robbers of Gaddianton; And they did preach the word of God among the more wicked part of them, Insomuch that this band of robbers was utterly destroyed from among the Lamanites.

Helaman 2:166 And thus they did obtain the sole management of the government, Insomuch that they did trample under their feet and smite and rend and turn their backs upon the poor and the meek and humble followers of God.

Helaman 3:Intro The prophecy of Nephi, the son of Helaman. God threatens the people of Nephi that He will visit them in His anger to their utter destruction, except they repent of their wickedness. God smiteth the people of Nephi with pestilence; they repent and turn unto Him. Samuel, a Lamanite, prophesies unto the Nephites.

Helaman 3:1 Behold, now it came to pass in the sixty and ninth year of the reign of the judges over the people of the Nephites that Nephi, the son of Helaman, returned to the Land of Zarahemla from the Land Northward; For he had been forth among the people which were in the Land Northward, And did preach the word of God unto them, And did prophesy many things unto them;

Helaman 3:3 And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness and those Gaddianton robbers filling the judgment seats, Having usurped the power and authority of the land, Laying aside the commandments of God and not in the least aright before Him, Doing no justice unto the children of men, Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness, Letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money;

Helaman 3:7 Then were his people easy to be entreated, firm to keep the commandments of God and slow to be led to do iniquity; And they were quick to hearken unto the words of the Lord;

Helaman 3:12 And it came to pass that there were certain men passing by and saw Nephi as he was a pouring out his soul unto God upon the tower; And they ran and told the people what they had seen; And the people came together in multitudes that they might know the cause of so great mourning for the wickedness of the people.

Helaman 3:15 "Yea, because I have got upon my tower, that I might pour out my soul unto my God because of the exceeding sorrow of my heart, which is because of your iniquities,

Helaman 3:18 "O repent ye! repent ye! Why will ye die? "Turn ye! turn ye unto the Lord your God! Why hath He forsaken you?

Helaman 3:21 "O how could you have forgotten your God in the very day that He hath delivered you?

Helaman 3:31 "Behold, now I do not say that these things shall be of myself, Because it is not of myself that I know these things; But behold, I know that these things are true because the Lord God hath made them known unto me; Therefore, I testify that they shall be."

Helaman 3:35 For behold, Nephi had spoken unto them concerning the corruptness of their law; Yea, many things did Nephi speak which cannot be written; And nothing did he speak which was contrary to the commandments of God.

Helaman 3:44 Therefore, he was constrained to speak more unto them, saying: "Behold, my brethren, have ye not read that God gave power unto one man - even Moses - to smite upon the waters of the Red Sea? And they parted hither and thither, insomuch that the Israelites, which were our fathers, came through upon dry ground? And the waters closed upon the armies of the Egyptians and swallowed them up?

Helaman 3:45 "And now behold, if God gave unto this man such power, Then why should ye dispute among yourselves and say that He hath given unto me no power whereby I may know concerning the judgments that shall come upon you except ye repent?

Helaman 3:47 "Yea, did he not bear record that the Son of God should come? And as he lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, even so should He be lifted up which should come;

Helaman 3:48 And as many as should look upon that serpent should live, Even so, as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith, having a contrite spirit, might live, even unto that life which is eternal.

Helaman 3:51 "Yea, and behold, I say unto you that Abraham not only knew of these things, But there were many before the days of Abraham which were called by the order of God, yea, even after the order of His Son;

Helaman 3:55 "And now we know that Jerusalem was destroyed according to the words of Jeremiah; O then, why not the Son of God come according to his prophecy?

Helaman 3:60 "And behold, He is God and He is with them; And He did manifest Himself unto them, that they were redeemed by Him; And they gave unto Him glory because of that which is to come.

Helaman 3:63 "But behold, ye have rejected the truth and rebelled against your Holy God; And even at this time, instead of laying up for yourselves treasures in heaven where nothing doth corrupt and where nothing can come which is unclean, Ye are heaping up for yourselves wrath against the day of judgment;

Helaman 3:68 And they said among themselves as they went: "Behold, now we will know of a surety whether this man be a prophet, And God hath commanded him to prophesy such marvelous things unto us -

Helaman 3:75 And now behold, the people knew nothing concerning the multitude which had gathered together at the garden of Nephi; Therefore, they said among themselves: "These men are they which have murdered the judge, And God hath smitten them, that they could not flee from us."

Helaman 3:85 And now it came to pass that the judges did expound the matter unto the people and did cry out against Nephi, saying: "Behold, we know that this Nephi must have agreed with someone to slay the judge, And then he might declare it unto us, that he might convert us unto his faith, That he might raise himself to be a great man chosen of God and a prophet.

Helaman 3:91 But Nephi saith unto them: "O ye fools! Ye uncircumcised of heart! Ye blind and ye stiff-necked people! "Do ye know how long the Lord your God will suffer you that ye shall go on in this your ways of sin?

Helaman 3:104 "And then shall he say unto you that I, Nephi, know nothing concerning the matter, save it were given unto me by the power of God;

Helaman 3:105 And then shall ye know that I am an honest man and that I am sent unto you from God."

Helaman 3:110 And now there were some among the people which said that Nephi was a prophet; And there were others which said: "Behold, he is a god, For except he was a god, he could not know of all things;

Helaman 3:118 "Behold, thou art Nephi and I Am God.

Helaman 3:123 "And behold, if ye shall say that God shall smite this people, it shall come to pass.

Helaman 3:124 "And now behold, I command you that ye shall go and declare unto this people that, 'Thus saith the Lord God, who is the Almighty, Except ye repent, ye shall be smitten, even unto destruction! '"

Helaman 3:129 But behold, the power of God was with him and they could not take him to cast him into prison, For he was taken by the Spirit and conveyed away out of the midst of them.

Helaman 3:130 And it came to pass that thus he did go forth in the Spirit from multitude to multitude, declaring the word of God, Even until he had declared it unto them all, or sent it forth among all the people.

Helaman 4:4 And it came to pass that in this year, Nephi did cry unto the Lord, saying: "O Lord, do not suffer that this people shall be destroyed by the sword; But O Lord, rather let there be a famine in the land to stir them up in remembrance of the Lord their God, And perhaps they will repent and turn unto Thee."

Helaman 4:9 And it came to pass that the people saw that they were about to perish by famine, And they began to remember the Lord their God; And they began to remember the words of Nephi.

Helaman 4:10 And the people began to plead with their chief judges and their leaders, that they would say unto Nephi: "Behold, we know that thou art a man of God; And therefore, cry unto the Lord our God that He turn away from us this famine, lest all the words which thou hast spoken concerning our destruction be fulfilled."

Helaman 4:22 And behold, the people did rejoice and glorify God, And the whole face of the land was filled with rejoicing; And they did no more seek to destroy Nephi, But they did esteem him as a great prophet and a man of God, having great power and authority given unto him from God;

Helaman 4:42 And now this great evil which came unto the people because of their iniquity did stir them up again in remembrance of the Lord their God.

Helaman 4:44 And in the eighty and second year, they began again to forget the Lord their God.

Helaman 4:51 Yea, then is the time that they do harden their hearts, and do forget the Lord their God, and do trample under their feet the Holy One; Yea, and this because of their ease and their exceeding great prosperity.

Helaman 4:55 And how slow are they to remember the Lord their God and to give ear unto His counsels! Yea, how slow to walk in wisdom's paths!

Helaman 4:56 Behold, they do not desire that the Lord their God who hath created them should rule and reign over them; Notwithstanding His great goodness and His mercy toward them, they do set at naught His counsels, And they will not that He should be their guide.

Helaman 4:58 For behold, the dust of the earth moveth hither and thither, to the dividing asunder at the command of our great and Everlasting God.

Helaman 4:70 Therefore, blessed are they who will repent and hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God, For these are they that shall be saved;

Helaman 4:71 And may God grant in His great fullness that men might be brought unto repentance and good works, That they might be restored unto grace for grace according to their works.

Helaman 5:1 And now it came to pass in the eighty and sixth year, the Nephites did still remain in wickedness - yea, in great wickedness - While the Lamanites did observe strictly to keep the commandments of God according to the law of Moses.

Helaman 5:14 'But if ye will repent and return unto the Lord your God, I will turn away Mine anger, ' saith the Lord; 'Yea, ' thus saith the Lord, 'blessed are they who will repent and turn unto Me. 'But wo unto him that repenteth not!

Helaman 5:23 'And it shall come to pass, ' saith the Lord of Hosts, yea, our great and true God, 'That whoso shall hide up treasures in the earth shall find them again no more because of the great curse of the land, save it be a righteous man and shall hide it up unto the Lord;

Helaman 5:30 "Ye do not remember the Lord your God in the things which He hath blessed you, But ye do always remember your riches - not to thank the Lord your God for them -

Helaman 5:32 For this cause hath the Lord God caused that a curse should come upon the land, and also upon your riches; And this because of your iniquities.

Helaman 5:45 "Yea, in that day shall ye say: 'O that we had remembered the Lord our God in the day that He gave us our riches! And then they would not have become slippery, that we should lose them. 'For behold, our riches are gone from us-

Helaman 5:55 And behold, he saith unto them: "Behold, I give unto you a sign - For five years more cometh, And behold, then cometh the Son of God to redeem all those who shall believe on His name;

Helaman 5:62 "And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall believe on the Son of God, the same shall have everlasting life.

Helaman 5:65 "And ye shall hear my words! For, for this intent I have come up upon the walls of this city, That ye might hear and know of the judgments of God which doth await you because of your iniquities; And also that ye might know the conditions of repentance;

Helaman 5:66 And also that ye might know of the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and of earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; And that ye might know of the signs of His coming, to the intent that ye might believe on His name;

Helaman 5:85 "And now remember, remember, my brethren, That whosoever perisheth, perisheth unto himself; And whosoever doeth iniquity, doeth it unto himself; For behold, ye are free - ye are permitted to act for yourselves; For behold, God hath given unto you a knowledge and He hath made you free -

Helaman 5:93 "And I would that ye should behold that the more part of them are in the path of their duty - And they do walk circumspectly before God, And they do observe to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, according to the law of Moses -

Helaman 5:122 And thus ended also the eighty and seventh year of the reign of the judges - The more part of the people remaining in their pride and wickedness, And the lesser part walking more circumspectly before God.

Helaman 5:124 And there was but little alteration in the affairs of the people, Save it were the people began to be more hardened in iniquity and do more and more of that which was contrary to the commandments of God in the eighty and ninth year of the reign of the judges.

Helaman 5:130 If so, and He be the Son of God, the Father of heaven and of earth, as it hath been spoken, Why will He not show Himself unto us, as well as unto they which shall be at Jerusalem?

3 Nephi 1:11 And it came to pass that he went out and bowed himself down upon the earth and cried mightily to his God in behalf of his people, yea, those which were about to be destroyed because of their faith in the tradition of their fathers.

3 Nephi 1:18 And there were many which had not believed the words of the prophets fell to the earth and became as if they were dead, For they knew that the great plan of destruction which they had laid for those who had believed in the words of the prophets had been frustrated, for the sign which had been given was already at hand; And they began to know that the Son of God must shortly appear.

3 Nephi 2:3 Yea, ye do stand well - as if ye were supported by the hand of a God in the defense of your liberty and your property and your country, or that which ye do call so;

3 Nephi 2:36 And they did put up their prayers unto the Lord their God, that he would deliver them in the time that their enemies should come down against them to battle;

3 Nephi 2:52 And it came to pass that the armies of the Nephites - when they saw the appearance of the army of Giddianhi - hast all fallen to the earth, And did lift their cries to the Lord their God, that He would spare them and deliver them out of the hands of their enemies.

3 Nephi 2:54 But in this thing they were disappointed, for the Nephites did not fear them, But they did fear their God and did supplicate Him for protection;

3 Nephi 2:77 And they did rejoice and cry again with one voice, saying, "May the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob protect this people in righteousness, so long as they shall call on the name of their God for protection!"

3 Nephi 2:78 And it came to pass that they did break forth - all as one - in singing and praising their God for the great thing which He had done for them in preserving them from falling into the hands of their enemies;

3 Nephi 2:79 Yea, they did cry, "Hosanna to the Most High God!" And they did cry, "Blessed be the name of the Lord God Almighty, the Most High God!"

3 Nephi 2:80 And their hearts were swollen with joy unto the gushing out of many tears because of the great goodness of God in delivering them out of the hands of their enemies;

3 Nephi 2:85 Therefore, they did forsake all their sins and their abominations and their whoredoms and did serve God with all diligence day and night.

3 Nephi 2:86 And now it came to pass that when they had taken all the robbers prisoners, insomuch that none did escape which were not slain, They did cast their prisoners into prison and did cause the word of God to be preached unto them;

3 Nephi 2:97 Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; I have been called of Him to declare His word among His people, that they might have everlasting life.

3 Nephi 2:98 And it hath become expedient that I - according to the will of God that the prayers of those which have gone hence, which were the holy ones, should be fulfilled according to their faith - should make a record of these things which have been done,

3 Nephi 2:103 I have reason to bless my God and my Savior Jesus Christ - That He brought our fathers out of the Land of Jerusalem - and no one knew it, save it were Himself and those which He brought out of that land - And that He hath given me and my people so much knowledge unto the salvation of our souls.

3 Nephi 2:106 Yea, and surely shall He again bring a remnant of the seed of Joseph to the knowledge of the Lord their God;

3 Nephi 2:109 And then shall they know their Redeemer, which is Jesus Christ the Son of God; And then shall they be gathered in from the four quarters of the earth unto their own lands, from whence they have been dispersed. Yea, as the Lord liveth, so shall it be! Amen.

3 Nephi 3:14 Some were lifted up in pride, and others were exceeding humble; Some did return railing for railing, while others would receive railing and persecution and all manner of afflictions and would not turn and revile again, but were humble and penitent before God.

3 Nephi 3:20 Now they did not sin ignorantly, for they knew the will of God concerning them, for it had been taught unto them; Therefore, they did willfully rebel against God.

3 Nephi 3:55 Nevertheless, their hearts were turned from the Lord their God and they did stone the prophets and did cast them out from among them.

3 Nephi 3:63 But as many as were converted did truly signify unto the people that they had been visited by the power and Spirit of God which was in Jesus Christ in whom they believed.

3 Nephi 3:64 And as many as had devils cast out from them and were healed of their sicknesses and their infirmities did truly manifest unto the people that they had been wrought upon by the Spirit of God and had been healed;

3 Nephi 3:69 Therefore, there were ordained of Nephi men unto this ministry, that all such as should come unto them should be baptized with water, And this as a witness and a testimony before God and unto the people that they had repented and received a remission of their sins;

3 Nephi 4:44 "Behold, I Am Jesus Christ, the Son of God; I created the heavens and the earth and all things that in them is;

3 Nephi 4:47 And as many as have received Me, to them have I given to become the sons of God, And even so will I to as many as shall believe on My name. "For behold, by Me redemption cometh, And in Me is the law of Moses fulfilled.

3 Nephi 4:51 "Behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world - to save the world from sin; Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto Me as a little child, him will I receive, For of such is the kingdom of God.

3 Nephi 5:14 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto them, saying: "Arise and come forth unto Me, That ye may thrust your hands into My side, And also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in My hands and in My feet, That ye may know that I Am the God of Israel and the God of the whole earth and have been slain for the sins of the world."

3 Nephi 5:17 And it came to pass that when they had all gone forth and had witnessed for themselves, they did cry out with one accord, saying: "Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God!" And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus and did worship Him.

3 Nephi 5:34 And whoso believeth in Me and is baptized, the same shall be saved, And they are they which shall inherit the kingdom of God;

3 Nephi 5:40 "And again I say unto you, Ye must repent, and be baptized in My name, and become as a little child, Or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God!

3 Nephi 5:55 "And blessed are all the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

3 Nephi 5:56 "And blessed are all the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.

3 Nephi 5:69 "Ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time - and it is also written before you - that, ' Thou shalt not kill and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment of God ';
