1 Nephi 7:50 "For the time speedily shall come that all churches which are built up to get gain, And all they which are built up to get power over the flesh, And they which are built up to become
popular in the eyes of the world, And they which seek the lusts of the flesh, and the things of the world, and to do all manner of iniquity,
Alma 1:5 Declaring unto the people that every priest and teacher had ought to become
popular, And they ought not to labor with their own hands, but that they had ought to be supported by the people.
Alma 16:242 And it came to pass that after the more
popular part of the Zoramites had consulted together concerning the words which had been preached unto them, They were angry because of the word, for it did destroy their craft; Therefore, they would not hearken unto the words.
