100 For the names of the righteous shall be written in the book of life; and unto them will I grant an inheritance at my right hand.
101 And now my brethren, What have ye to say against this?
102 I say unto you, If ye speak against it, it matters not, for the word of God must be fulfilled.
103 For what shepherd is there among you having many sheep, doth not watch over them, that the wolves enter not and devour his flock?
104 And behold, if a wolf enter his flock, doth he not drive him out? Yea, and at the last, if he can, he will destroy him.
105 And now I say unto you, that the good shepherd doth call after you; and if you will hearken unto his voice, he will bring you into his fold, and ye are his sheep;
106 And he commandeth you that ye suffer no ravenous wolf to enter among you, that ye may not be destroyed.
107 And now, I, Alma, do command you in the language of him who hath commanded me, that ye observe to do the words which I have spoken unto you.
108 I speak by way of command unto you that belong to the church; and unto those who do not belong to the church, I speak by way of invitation, saying, Come, and be baptized unto repentance, that ye also may be partakers of the fruit of the tree of life.
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.
2 And it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church who repented of their sins, were baptized unto repentance, and were received into the church.
