Title Page 1:5 An abridgment taken from the book of Ether also, which is a record of the people of Jared, Which were scattered at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people when they were building a tower to get to heaven -

1 Nephi 1:21 And when the Jews heard these things, they were angry with him, Yea, even as with the prophets of old whom they had cast out and stoned and slain;

1 Nephi 1:29 And he left his house and the land of his inheritance, and his gold, and his silver, and his precious things, And took nothing with him save it were his family and provisions and tents, And he departed into the wilderness;

1 Nephi 1:31 And he traveled in the wilderness in the borders which was nearer the Red Sea;

1 Nephi 1:32 And he did travel in the wilderness with his family, which consisted of my mother Sariah and my elder brethren, which were Laman, Lemuel and Sam.

1 Nephi 1:43 And they were like unto the Jews which were at Jerusalem which sought to take away the life of my father.

1 Nephi 1:70 And he desired of Laban the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass which contained the genealogy of my father.

1 Nephi 1:74 And we began to be exceeding sorrowful; And my brethren were about to return unto my father in the wilderness,

1 Nephi 1:87 And it came to pass that we went in unto Laban and desired him that he would give unto us the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass, For which we would give unto him our gold and our silver and all our precious things.

1 Nephi 1:89 And it came to pass that we did flee before the servants of Laban, And we were obliged to leave behind our property and it fell into the hands of Laban.

1 Nephi 1:100 "Therefore, let us go up; Let us be strong like unto Moses, For he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided hither and thither and our fathers came through out of captivity on dry ground, And the armies of Pharaoh did follow and were drowned in the waters of the Red Sea.

1 Nephi 1:103 Now when I had spoken these words, they were yet wroth and did still continue to murmur; Nevertheless, they did follow me up until we came without the walls of Jerusalem;

1 Nephi 1:127 And I also spake unto him that I should carry the engravings which were upon the plates of brass to my elder brethren which were without the wall.

1 Nephi 1:130 And he spake unto me many times concerning the elders of the Jews as I went forth unto my brethren which were without the wall.

1 Nephi 1:143 Now we were desirous that he should tarry with us for this cause: That the Jews might not know concerning our flight into the wilderness, lest they should pursue us and destroy us.

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 1:160 And also of Adam and Eve which were our first parents,

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 1:169 And now when my father saw all these things, he was filled with the Spirit and began to prophesy concerning his seed, That these plates of brass should go forth unto all nations, kindreds and tongues and people which were of his seed;

1 Nephi 1:173 And we had obtained the record which the Lord had commanded us and searched them and found that they were desirable, Yea, even of great worth unto us insomuch that we could preserve the commandments of the Lord unto our children;

1 Nephi 2:13 And it came to pass that in the which rebellion they were desirous to return unto the Land of Jerusalem.

1 Nephi 2:26 And it came to pass that when I, Nephi, had spoken these words unto my brethren, they were angry with me.

1 Nephi 2:27 And it came to pass that they did lay their hands upon me, for behold, they were exceeding wroth; And they did bind me with cords, for they sought to take away my life that they might leave me in the wilderness to be devoured by wild beasts.

1 Nephi 2:30 And it came to pass that when I had said these words, behold, the bands were loosed from off my hands and feet, And I stood before my brethren and I spake unto them again.

1 Nephi 2:31 And it came to pass that they were angry with me again and sought to lay hands upon me;

1 Nephi 2:33 And it came to pass that they were sorrowful because of their wickedness insomuch that they did bow down before me and did plead with me that I would forgive them of the thing that they had done against me.

1 Nephi 2:65 And I saw numberless concourses of people, many of whom were pressing forward, that they might obtain the path which led unto the tree by which I stood.

1 Nephi 2:67 "And it came to pass that there arose a mist of darkness, yea, even an exceeding great mist of darkness, Insomuch that they which had commenced in the path did lose their way, that they wandered off and were lost.

1 Nephi 2:70 "And after that they had partaken of the fruit of the tree, they did cast their eyes about as if they were ashamed.

1 Nephi 2:72 And it stood, as it were, in the air high above the earth;

1 Nephi 2:75 And they were in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers toward those which had come up and were partaking of the fruit;

1 Nephi 2:76 And after that they had tasted of the fruit, they were ashamed because of those that were a scoffing at them, And they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost."

1 Nephi 2:80 And it came to pass that many were drowned in the depths of the fountain,

1 Nephi 2:81 And many were lost from his view wandering in strange roads,

1 Nephi 2:83 And after that they did enter into that building, they did point the finger of scorn at me and those that were partaking of the fruit also, But we heeded them not;

1 Nephi 2:86 And it came to pass that after my father had spoken all the words of his dream or vision, which were many, He said unto us, because of these things which he saw in a vision, he exceedingly feared for Laman and Lemuel -

1 Nephi 3:2 For behold, it came to pass that after my father had made an end of speaking the words of his dream, and also of exhorting them to all diligence, He spake unto them concerning the Jews - How that after they were destroyed, yea, even that great City Jerusalem, and that many were carried away captive into Babylon, That according to the own due time of the Lord they should return again, yea, even be brought back out of captivity;

1 Nephi 3:21 And also many more things which I do not write in this book, For I have written as many of them as were expedient for me in mine other book.

1 Nephi 3:22 And all these things of which I have spoken were done as my father dwelt in a tent in the Valley of Lemuel.

1 Nephi 3:76 And the multitudes were gathered together to hear Him;

1 Nephi 3:79 And it came to pass that they were carried away in the Spirit from before my face, that I saw them not.

1 Nephi 3:83 And I beheld multitudes of people which were sick and which were afflicted of all manner of diseases and with devils and unclean spirits;

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 3:88 And after that He was slain I saw the multitudes of the earth, that they were gathered together to fight against the apostles of the Lamb, for thus were the twelve called by the angel of the Lord;

1 Nephi 3:90 And I beheld that they were in a large and spacious building like unto the building which my father saw.

1 Nephi 3:98 And I beheld multitudes of people, yea, even as it were in number as many as the sand of the sea.

1 Nephi 3:106 And I saw the plains of the earth, that they were broken up;

1 Nephi 3:107 And I saw many cities, that they were sunk;

1 Nephi 3:108 And I saw many, that they were burnt with fire;

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 3:118 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 3:123 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the people of my seed gathered together in multitudes against the seed of my brethren, And they were gathered together to battle;

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 3:150 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 3:151 And I beheld the Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the Gentiles, that they did prosper and obtain the land for their inheritance; And I beheld that they were white and exceeding fair and beautiful, like unto my people before that they were slain.

1 Nephi 3:153 And I beheld that their mother Gentiles were gathered together upon the waters, and upon the land also, to battle against them;

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 3:172 And after that these plain and precious things were taken away, it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles;

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 3:191 And after it had come forth unto them, I beheld other books which came forth by the power of the Lamb from the Gentiles unto them, Unto the convincing of the Gentiles and the remnant of the seed of my brethren, And also to the Jews which were scattered upon all the face of the earth, That the records of the prophets and of the twelve apostles of the Lamb are true.

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 3:230 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 3:245 And at the time they proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, or at the time the book proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, The things which were written were plain and pure and most precious and easy to the understanding of all men.

1 Nephi 4:2 And it came to pass that I beheld my brethren; And they were disputing one with another concerning the things which my father had spoken unto them,

1 Nephi 4:3 For he truly spake many great things unto them which were hard to be understood save a man should inquire of the Lord;

1 Nephi 4:6 And it came to pass that I was overcome because of my afflictions, For I considered that mine afflictions were great above all because of the destruction of my people, for I had beheld their fall.

1 Nephi 4:33 And after that they were restored, they should no more be confounded, neither should they be scattered again.

1 Nephi 4:34 And it came to pass that I did speak so many words unto my brethren that they were pacified and did humble themselves before the Lord.

1 Nephi 4:52 For the day should come that they must be judged of their works, Yea, even the works which were done by the temporal body in their days of probation.

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 5:6 Now all these things were said and done as my father dwelt in a tent in the valley which he called Lemuel.

1 Nephi 5:12 And within the ball were two spindles, And the one pointed the way whither we should go into the wilderness.

1 Nephi 5:18 And we did go forth again in the wilderness following the same direction, keeping in the most fertile parts of the wilderness which were in the borders near the Red Sea.

1 Nephi 5:22 And it came to pass that as I, Nephi, went forth to slay food, behold, I did break my bow which was made of fine steel; And after that I did break my bow, behold, my brethren were angry with me because of the loss of my bow, for we did obtain no food.

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 5:33 And it came to pass that when my father beheld the things which were written upon the ball, he did fear and tremble exceedingly, And also my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and our wives.

1 Nephi 5:34 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the pointers which were in the ball, that they did work according to the faith and diligence and heed which we did give unto them.

1 Nephi 5:37 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did go forth up into the top of the mountain according to the directions which were given upon the ball.

1 Nephi 5:47 And thus they did murmur against my father, and also against me, And they were desirous to return again to Jerusalem.

1 Nephi 5:54 And after that they were chastened by the voice of the Lord, they did turn away their anger and did repent of their sins insomuch that the Lord did bless us again with food, that we did not perish.

1 Nephi 5:57 And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; And they began to bear their journeyings without murmuring.

1 Nephi 5:63 And all these things were prepared of the Lord that we might not perish;

1 Nephi 5:66 And notwithstanding we had suffered many afflictions and much difficulty, yea, even so much that we cannot write them all, We were exceedingly rejoiced when we came to the seashore;

1 Nephi 5:88 And thus my brethren did complain against me and were desirous that they might not labor, for they did not believe that I could build a ship,

1 Nephi 5:91 And now when they saw that I began to be sorrowful, they were glad in their hearts insomuch that they did rejoice over me, saying:

1 Nephi 5:92 "We knew that ye could not construct a ship, for we knew that ye were lacking in judgment; Wherefore, thou canst not accomplish so great a work.

1 Nephi 5:95 And our women have toiled, being big with child, And they have borne children in the wilderness and suffered all things, save it were death;

1 Nephi 5:98 "And we know that the people which were in the Land of Jerusalem were a righteous people,

1 Nephi 5:103 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, spake unto them, saying: "Do ye believe that our fathers, which were the children of Israel, would have been led away out of the hands of the Egyptians if they had not hearkened unto the words of the Lord?

1 Nephi 5:105 "Now ye know that the children of Israel were in bondage; And ye know that they were laden with tasks which were grievous to be borne;

1 Nephi 5:108 And ye know that by his word the waters of the Red Sea were divided hither and thither and they passed through on dry ground.

1 Nephi 5:109 "But ye know that the Egyptians were drowned in the Red Sea, which were the armies of Pharaoh.

1 Nephi 5:110 "And ye also know that they were fed with manna in the wilderness.

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 5:116 And there was not anything done save it were by His word.

1 Nephi 5:118 "And now do ye suppose that the children of this land - which were in the Land of Promise, which were driven out by our fathers - do ye suppose that they were righteous? Behold, I say unto you, Nay.

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 5:134 He sent flying fiery serpents among them; And after they were bitten, He prepared a way that they might be healed;

1 Nephi 5:135 And the labor which they had to perform was to look; And because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it, there were many which perished.

1 Nephi 5:137 Nevertheless, ye know that they were led forth by His matchless power into the Land of Promise.

1 Nephi 5:146 And He hath spoken unto you in a still small voice, but ye were past feeling that ye could not feel His words;

1 Nephi 5:147 Wherefore, He hath spoken unto you like unto the voice of thunder which did cause the earth to shake as if it were to divide asunder.

1 Nephi 5:153 And now it came to pass that when I had spoken these words, they were angry with me and were desirous to throw me into the depths of the sea;

1 Nephi 5:160 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said many things unto my brethren insomuch that they were confounded and could not contend against me,

1 Nephi 5:166 And they fell down before me and were about to worship me, but I would not suffer them, saying: "I am thy brother, yea, even thy younger brother;

1 Nephi 5:181 We did put forth into the sea and were driven forth before the wind toward the Promised Land.

1 Nephi 5:184 Yea, they were lifted up unto exceeding rudeness.

1 Nephi 5:187 But behold, they were angry with me, saying: "We will not that our younger brother shall be a ruler over us."

1 Nephi 5:192 And we were driven back upon the waters for the space of three days;

1 Nephi 5:196 And it came to pass that we were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea.

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 5:198 Wherefore, they came unto me and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists; And behold, they had much swollen exceedingly, And also mine ankles were much swollen, and great was the soreness thereof;

1 Nephi 5:201 And my parents, being stricken in years and having suffered much grief because of their children, they were brought down, yea, even upon their sickbeds;

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 5:203 Yea, their grey hairs were about to be brought down to lie low in the dust,

1 Nephi 5:204 Yea, even they were near to be cast with sorrow into a watery grave.

1 Nephi 5:205 And Jacob and Joseph also being young, having need of much nourishment, were grieved because of the afflictions of their mother;

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 5:208 Wherefore, when they saw that they were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea, they repented of the thing which they had done insomuch that they loosed me.

1 Nephi 5:215 And it came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; Wherefore, we were blessed in abundance.

1 Nephi 5:216 And it came to pass that we did find upon the Land of Promise, as we journeyed in the wilderness, That there were beasts in the forests of every kind - both the cow and the ox, and the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, And all manner of wild animals which were for the use of men;

1 Nephi 5:224 And that the things which were written should be kept for the instruction of my people which should possess the land, And also for other wise purposes, which purposes are known unto the Lord.

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 6:2 And it came to pass that I did read many things to them which were engraven upon the plates of brass, that they might know concerning the doings of the Lord in other lands among people of old;

1 Nephi 6:3 And I did read many things unto them which were written in the books of Moses;

1 Nephi 6:6 Wherefore, I spake unto them, saying: "Hear ye the words of the prophet, ye which are a remnant of the house of Israel, a branch which have been broken off; Hear ye the words of the prophet which were written unto all the house of Israel and liken it unto yourselves, that ye may have hope, as well as your brethren from whom ye have been broken off."

1 Nephi 6:14 They are created now and not from the beginning; Even before the day when thou heardest them not, they were declared unto thee, Lest thou shouldst say, 'Behold, I knew them.'

1 Nephi 7:1 And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, after that I had read these things which were engraven upon the plates of brass, My brethren came unto me and said unto me: "What meaneth these things which ye have read?

1 Nephi 7:3 And I, Nephi, saith unto them: "Behold, they were made manifest unto the prophet by the voice of the Spirit,

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 1:41 For were it not for him, we must have perished with hunger in the wilderness;

2 Nephi 1:70 Yea, by the temporal law they were cut off, and also by the spiritual law - They perish from that which is good and become miserable forever;

2 Nephi 1:100 Wherefore, man could not act for himself, save it should be that he were enticed by the one or the other.

2 Nephi 1:105 "And after that Adam and Eve had partaken of the forbidden fruit, they were driven out from the garden of Eden to till the earth;

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 1:110 For He showed unto all men that they were lost because of the transgression of their parents.

2 Nephi 1:112 And all things which were created must have remained in the same state which they were after that they were created, And they must have remained forever and had no end;

2 Nephi 2:6 And great were the covenants of the Lord which He made unto Joseph."Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day;

2 Nephi 3:24 And it came to pass that not many days after his death, Laman and Lemuel and the sons of Ishmael were angry with me because of the admonitions of the Lord,

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 4:10 And we did take our tents and whatsoever things were possible for us and did journey in the wilderness for the space of many days.

2 Nephi 4:13 And all they which were with me did take it upon them to call themselves the people of Nephi;

2 Nephi 4:17 And I, Nephi, had also brought the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass, And also the ball, or the compass, which was prepared for my father by the hand of the Lord, according to that which is written.

2 Nephi 4:19 And I, Nephi, did take the sword of Laban and after the manner of it did make many swords, Lest by any means the people which were now called Lamanites should come upon us and destroy us,

2 Nephi 4:20 For I knew their hatred toward me and my children and they which were called my people.

2 Nephi 4:21 And I did teach my people that they should build buildings, And that they should work in all manner of wood, and of iron and of copper, and of brass and of steel, and of gold and of silver, and of precious ores which were in great abundance.

2 Nephi 4:22 And I, Nephi, did build a temple; And I did construct it after the manner of the Temple of Solomon, save it were not built of so many precious things,

2 Nephi 4:23 for they were not to be found upon the land,

2 Nephi 4:32 And behold, they were cut off from His presence.

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 5:22 And now I, Jacob, would speak somewhat concerning these words; For behold, the Lord hath shown me that they which were at Jerusalem from whence we came have been slain and carried away captive;

2 Nephi 5:95 And hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy?

2 Nephi 6:14 And because man became fallen, they were cut off from the presence of the Lord;

2 Nephi 6:95 Would I harrow up your souls if your minds were pure?

2 Nephi 6:96 Would I be plain unto you, according to the plainness of the truth, if ye were freed from sin?

2 Nephi 6:97 Behold, if ye were holy, I would speak unto you of holiness, But as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher, it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin.

2 Nephi 8:88 Wo unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity and sin as it were with a cart rope!

2 Nephi 8:95 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against His people, And He hath stretched forth His hand against them and hath smitten them; And the hills did tremble, And their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand stretched out still.

2 Nephi 9:36 And it shall come to pass in that day, every place shall be - where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings - which shall be for briers and thorns.

2 Nephi 9:96 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? As if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up! Or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood!

2 Nephi 10:24 And the people shall take them and bring them to their place, yea, from far unto the ends of the earth; And they shall return to their lands of promise; And the house of Israel shall possess them, And the land of the Lord shall be for servants and handmaids; And they shall take them captives unto whom they were captives; And they shall rule over their oppressors.

2 Nephi 11:2 For behold, Isaiah spake many things which were hard for many of my people to understand, For they know not concerning the manner of prophesying among the Jews,

2 Nephi 11:3 For I, Nephi, have not taught them many things concerning the manner of the Jews, For their works were works of darkness and their doings were doings of abomination.

2 Nephi 11:8 Yea, and my soul delighteth in the words of Isaiah, For I came out from Jerusalem and mine eyes hath beheld the things of the Jews; And I know that the Jews do understand the things of the prophets, And there is none other people that understand the things of the prophets which were spoken unto the Jews, like unto them, Save it be that they are taught after the manner of the things of the Jews.

2 Nephi 11:16 And never hath any of them been destroyed, save it were foretold them by the prophets of the Lord;

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 11:108 And except they should have charity, they were nothing; Wherefore, if they should have charity, they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish;

2 Nephi 11:131 And the day cometh that the words of the book which were sealed shall be read upon the housetops; And they shall be read by the power of Christ;

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 12:54 Have ye obtained a Bible, save it were by the Jews?

2 Nephi 13:28 Behold, I say unto you, Nay; For ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ, with unshaken faith in Him, Relying wholly upon the merits of Him who is mighty to save.

2 Nephi 14:3 And now, how could ye speak with the tongue of angels save it were by the Holy Ghost? Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost, wherefore, they speak the words of Christ.

2 Nephi 15:1 And now I, Nephi, cannot write all the things which were taught among my people, Neither am I mighty in writing, like unto speaking, For when a man speaketh by the power of the Holy Ghost, the power of the Holy Ghost carrieth it unto the hearts of the children of men.

Jacob 1:2 And he gave me, Jacob, a commandment that I should write upon these plates a few of the things which I considered to be most precious, That I should not touch, save it were lightly, concerning the history of this people, which are called the people of Nephi;

Jacob 1:4 And if there were preaching which was sacred, or revelation which was great, or prophesying, That I should engraven the heads of them upon these plates, And touch upon them as much as it were possible, for Christ's sake and for the sake of our people.

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 1:10 The people having loved Nephi exceedingly - he having been a great protector for them, having wielded the sword of Laban in their defense and having labored in all his days for their welfare - Wherefore, the people were desirous to retain in remembrance his name;

Jacob 1:11 And whoso should reign in his stead were called by the people Second Nephi, Third Nephi, etc., according to the reigns of the kings; And thus they were called by the people, let them be of whatsoever name they would.

Jacob 1:13 Now the people which were not Lamanites were Nephites; Nevertheless, they were called Nephites, Jacobites, Josephites, Zoramites; Lamanites, Lemuelites and Ishmaelites;

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 2:30 And were it not that I must speak unto you concerning a grosser crime, my heart would rejoice exceedingly because of you;

Jacob 2:32 For behold, thus saith the Lord: "This people beginneth to wax in iniquity; They understand not the scriptures, For they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms because of the things which were written concerning David and Solomon his son.

Jacob 2:44 And now behold, my brethren, ye know that these commandments were given to our father Lehi; Wherefore, ye have known them before; And ye have come unto great condemnation, for ye have done these things which ye ought not to have done.

Jacob 2:55 For they have not forgotten the commandments of the Lord which were given unto our father that they should have save it were one wife and concubines they should have none, And there should not be whoredoms committed among them;

Jacob 2:69 These plates are called the plates of Jacob and they were made by the hand of Nephi;

Jacob 3:4 For, for this intent have we written these things: That they may know that we knew of Christ and we had a hope of His glory many hundred years before His coming, And not only we ourselves had a hope of His glory, but also all the holy prophets which were before us.

Jacob 3:22 But behold, the Jews were a stiff-necked people, And they despised the words of plainness and killed the prophets and sought for things that they could not understand;

Jacob 3:90 Behold, I knew that all the fruit of the vineyard, save it were these, had become corrupted;

Jacob 3:136 "And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sent His Servant, And the Servant went and did as the Lord had commanded Him and brought other servants, and they were few;

Jacob 3:144 And they became like unto one body, And the fruit were equal, And the Lord of the vineyard had preserved unto Himself the natural fruit which was most precious unto Him from the beginning.

Jacob 5:3 And he preached many things which were flattering unto the people; And this he did that he might overthrow the doctrine of Christ;

Jacob 5:30 And it came to pass that on the morrow that the multitude were gathered together, And he spake plainly unto them and denied the things which he had taught them, And confessed the Christ and the power of the Holy Ghost and the ministering of angels;

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 5:39 And it came to pass that many means were devised to reclaim and restore the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth, But it all was vain, for they delighted in wars and bloodsheds, And they had an eternal hatred against us, their brethren;

Jacob 5:43 that the time passed away with us, And also our lives passed away, like as it were unto us a dream, We being a lonesome and a solemn people, wanderers cast out from Jerusalem,

Enos 1:21 For at the present our strugglings were vain in restoring them to the true faith,

Enos 1:22 And they swore in their wrath that if it were possible they would destroy our records and us, and also all the traditions of our fathers.

Enos 1:31 But our labors were vain - their hatred was fixed, And they were led by their evil nature, that they became wild and ferocious and a bloodthirsty people, Full of idolatry and filthiness,

Enos 1:33 And many of them did eat nothing, save it was raw meat; And they were continually seeking to destroy us.

Enos 1:35 And there were exceeding many prophets among us;

Enos 1:36 And the people were a stiff-necked people, hard to understand;

Omni 1:7 Behold, it came to pass that three hundred and twenty years had passed away and the more wicked part of the Nephites were destroyed,

Omni 1:22 And they departed out of the land into the wilderness, as many as would hearken unto the voice of the Lord; And they were led by many preachings and prophesyings,

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 1:24 And they discovered a people which were called the people of Zarahemla.

Omni 1:27 And they journeyed in the wilderness and were brought by the hand of the Lord across the great waters into the land where Mosiah discovered them; And they had dwelt there from that time forth;

Omni 1:33 And it came to pass that after they were taught in the language of Mosiah, Zarahemla gave a genealogy of his fathers according to his memory; And they are written, but not in these plates.

Omni 1:49 For there was a large number which were desirous to possess the land of their inheritance; Wherefore, they went up into the wilderness;

Omni 1:50 And their leader, being a strong and a mighty man and a stiff-necked man, wherefore, he caused a contention among them, And they were all slain, save fifty, in the wilderness; And they returned again to the Land of Zarahemla.

Jarom 1:13 And the laws of the land were exceeding strict;

Jarom 1:14 And they were scattered upon much of the face of the land, and the Lamanites also;

Jarom 1:15 And they were exceeding more numerous than were they of the Nephites; And they loved murder and would drink the blood of beasts.

Jarom 1:17 But our kings and our leaders were mighty men in the faith of the Lord, And they taught the people the ways of the Lord.

Words of Mormon 1:15 And they were handed down from King Benjamin from generation to generation until they have fallen into my hands.

Words of Mormon 1:25 And after there having been much contentions and many dissensions away unto the Lamanites, Behold, it came to pass that King Benjamin, with the assistance of the holy prophets which were among his people - For behold, King Benjamin was a holy man and he did reign over his people in righteousness;

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 1:3 And he caused that they should be taught in all the language of his fathers, that thereby they might become men of understanding, And that they might know concerning the prophecies which had been spoken by the mouths of their fathers, which were delivered them by the hand of the Lord.

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 1:5 For it were not possible that our father Lehi could have remembered all these things, to have taught them to his children, except it were for the help of these plates;

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 1:23 And moreover, he also gave him charge concerning the records which were engraven on the plates of brass, And also the plates of Nephi,

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 1:26 And therefore they were smitten with famine and sore afflictions to stir them up in remembrance of their duty.

Mosiah 1:27 And now it came to pass that Mosiah went and did as his father had commanded him and proclaimed unto all the people which were in the Land of Zarahemla, That thereby they might gather themselves together to go up to the temple to hear the words which his father should speak unto them.

Mosiah 1:29 And there were a great number, even so many that they did not number them, For they had multiplied exceedingly and waxed great in the land.

Mosiah 1:37 Therefore, he caused that the words which he spake should be written and sent forth among those that were not under the sound of his voice, that they might also receive his words.

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 1:113 And yet they hardened their hearts and understood not that the law of Moses availeth nothing, except it were through the atonement of His blood.

Mosiah 1:114 'And even if it were possible that little children could sin, they could not be saved; But I say unto you, they are blessed;

Mosiah 2:5 And it came to pass that after they had spoken these words, the Spirit of the Lord came upon them, And they were filled with joy,

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 4:2 And it came to pass that there was not one soul, except it were little children, but what had entered into the covenant and had taken upon them the name of Christ.

Mosiah 5:7 And Ammon took three of his brethren - and their names were Amaleki, Helem, and Hem - and they went down into the Land of Nephi.

Mosiah 5:9 And they were surrounded by the king's guard and were taken and were bound and were committed to prison.

Mosiah 5:10 And it came to pass when they had been in prison two days, they were again brought before the king and their bands were loosed;

Mosiah 5:11 And they stood before the king and were permitted, or rather commanded, that they should answer the questions which he should ask them.

Mosiah 5:13 "And now, I desire to know the cause whereby ye were so bold as to come near the walls of the city when I, myself, was with my guards without the gate.

Mosiah 5:18 And now it came to pass that after Limhi had heard the words of Ammon, he was exceeding glad and said: "Now I know of a surety that my brethren which were in the Land of Zarahemla are yet alive;

Mosiah 5:53 And it came to pass that after King Limhi had made an end of speaking to his people - for he spake many things unto them and only a few of them have I written in this book - He told his people all the things concerning their brethren which were in the Land of Zarahemla.

Mosiah 5:61 And they were lost in the wilderness for the space of many days, yet they were diligent and found not the Land of Zarahemla, But returned to this land, having traveled in a land among many waters,

Mosiah 5:63 Having discovered a land which had been peopled with a people which were as numerous as the hosts of Israel.

Mosiah 5:64 "And for a testimony that the things that they had said were true, they have brought twenty-four plates which are filled with engravings, And they are of pure gold.

Mosiah 5:66 "And again, they have brought swords - The hilts thereof hath perished, And the blades thereof were cankered with rust.

Mosiah 5:83 "Doubtless a great mystery is contained within these plates; And these interpreters were doubtless prepared for the purpose of unfolding all such mysteries to the children of men.

Mosiah 6:Intro An account of his people from the time they left the Land of Zarahemla, until the time that they were delivered out of the hands of the Lamanites.

Mosiah 6:5 And we returned, those of us that were spared, to the Land of Zarahemla to relate that tale to their wives and their children.

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 6:7 Nevertheless, after many days wandering in the wilderness, we pitched our tents in the place where our brethren were slain, which was near to the land of our fathers.

Mosiah 6:15 Now they were a lazy and an idolatrous people; Therefore, they were desirous to bring us into bondage, that they might glut themselves with the labors of our hands, Yea, that they might feast themselves upon the flocks of our fields.

Mosiah 6:17 For in the thirteenth year of my reign in the Land of Nephi, away on the south of the Land of Shilom, when my people were watering and feeding their flocks and tilling their lands, A numerous host of Lamanites came upon them and began to slay them and to take of their flocks and the corn of their fields;

Mosiah 6:18 Yea, and it came to pass that they fled, all that were not overtaken, even into the City of Nephi, and did call upon me for protection.

Mosiah 6:21 For I and my people did cry mightily to the Lord that He would deliver us out of the hands of our enemies, For we were awakened to a remembrance of the deliverance of our fathers.

Mosiah 6:25 And behold, to our great sorrow and lamentation, two hundred and seventy - nine of our brethren were slain.

Mosiah 6:38 And they had their heads shaved, that they were naked; And they were girded about with a leathern girdle about their loins.

Mosiah 6:40 And I also caused that all my old men that could bear arms, and also all my young men that were able to bear arms, should gather themselves together to go to battle against the Lamanites, And I did place them in their ranks, every man according to his age.

Mosiah 6:45 Yet they were a strong people as to the strength of men. They were a wild and ferocious and a bloodthirsty people, believing in the tradition of their fathers, which is this:

Mosiah 6:46 Believing that they were driven out of the Land of Jerusalem because of the iniquities of their fathers, And that they were wronged in the wilderness by their brethren; And they were also wronged while crossing the sea;

Mosiah 6:47 And again, that they were wronged while in the land of their first inheritance, after they had crossed the sea.

Mosiah 6:49 And his brethren were wroth with him because they understood not the dealings of the Lord;

Mosiah 6:50 They were also wroth with him upon the waters because they hardened their hearts against the Lord.

Mosiah 6:51 And again, they were wroth with him when they had arrived to the Promised Land because they said that he had taken the ruling of the people out of their hands; And they sought to kill him.

Mosiah 6:52 And again, they were wroth with him because he departed into the wilderness as the Lord had commanded him and took the records which were engraven on the plates of brass, For they said that he robbed them.

Mosiah 7:8 For he put down all the priests that had been consecrated by his father and consecrated new ones in their stead, such as were lifted up in the pride of their hearts;

Mosiah 7:9 Yea, and thus were they supported in their laziness and in their idolatry and in their whoredoms by the taxes which King Noah had put upon his people; Thus did the people labor exceedingly to support iniquity;

Mosiah 7:10 Yea, and they also became idolatrous because they were deceived by the vain and flattering words of the king and priests, For they did speak flattering things unto them.

Mosiah 7:14 And the seats which were set apart for the high priests, which were above all the other seats, he did ornament with pure gold;

Mosiah 7:22 And it came to pass that the Lamanites began to come in upon his people, upon small numbers, and to slay them in their fields and while they were tending their flocks;

Mosiah 7:25 And it came to pass that King Noah sent his armies against them and they were driven back, or they drove them back for a time; Therefore, they returned rejoicing in their spoil.

Mosiah 7:26 And now because of this great victory, they were lifted up in the pride of their hearts; They did boast in their own strength, saying that their fifty could stand against thousands of the Lamanites;

Mosiah 7:39 Now it came to pass that when Abinadi had spoken these words unto them, they were wroth with him and sought to take away his life, but the Lord delivered him out of their hands.

Mosiah 7:43 Now the eyes of the people were blinded; Therefore, they hardened their hearts against the words of Abinadi and they sought from that time forward to take him;

Mosiah 7:59 And it came to pass that they were angry with him; And they took him and carried him bound before the king and saith unto the king:

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 8:8 "But behold, I say unto you that all these things were types of things to come.

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 8:18 He is despised and rejected of men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

Mosiah 8:48 "And, O how beautiful upon the mountains were their feet!

Mosiah 8:53 For were it not for the redemption which He hath made for His people, which was prepared from the foundation of the world, I say unto you, were it not for this, that all mankind must have perished.

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 8:86 Having gone according to their own carnal wills and desires, Having never called upon the Lord while the arms of mercy were extended toward them;

Mosiah 8:87 For the arms of mercy were extended toward them and they would not, They being warned of their iniquities and yet they would not depart from them,

Mosiah 8:88 And they were commanded to repent and yet they would not repent.

Mosiah 9:35 And it came to pass after many days there were a goodly number gathered together to the Place of Mormon to hear the words of Alma,

Mosiah 9:36 Yea, all were gathered together that believed on his word to hear him;

Mosiah 9:38 And it came to pass that he said unto them: "Behold, here are the Waters of Mormon" - for thus were they called -

Mosiah 9:45 And after Alma had said these words, both Alma and Helam were buried in the water; And they arose and came forth out of the water rejoicing, being filled with the Spirit.

Mosiah 9:47 And after this manner he did baptize everyone that went forth to the Place of Mormon, And they were in number about two hundred and four souls,

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 9:52 And he commanded them that they should teach nothing save it were the things which he had taught and which had been spoken by the mouth of the holy prophets.

Mosiah 9:53 Yea, even he commanded them that they should preach nothing save it were repentance and faith on the Lord who hath redeemed His people.

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 9:68 And these things were done in the borders of the land, that they might not come to the knowledge of the king.

Mosiah 9:70 Therefore, on the day that they were assembling themselves together to hear the word of the Lord, they were discovered unto the king.

Mosiah 9:72 And it came to pass that Alma and the people of the Lord were apprised of the coming of the king's army; Therefore, they took their tents and their families and departed into the wilderness;

Mosiah 9:73 And they were in number about four hundred and fifty souls.

Mosiah 9:75 And now behold, the forces of the king were small, having been reduced. And there began to be a division among the remainder of the people,

Mosiah 9:79 And Gideon pursued after him and was about to get upon the tower to slay the king, And the king cast his eyes round about toward the Land of Shemlon, And behold, the army of the Lamanites were within the borders of the land.

Mosiah 9:85 Now there were many that would not leave them, but had rather stay and perish with them,

Mosiah 9:88 And it came to pass that the Lamanites had compassion on them, for they were charmed with the beauty of their women;

Mosiah 9:91 And now there was one of the sons of the king among those that were taken captive whose name was Limhi.

Mosiah 9:93 And it came to pass that Gideon sent men into the wilderness, secretly, to search for the king and those that were with him.

Mosiah 9:95 Now they had sworn in their hearts that they would return to the Land of Nephi, And if their wives and their children were slain, and also those that had tarried with them, that they would seek revenge and also perish with them;

Mosiah 9:96 And the king commanded them that they should not return; And they were angry with the king and caused that he should suffer, even unto death by fire;

Mosiah 9:97 And they were about to take the priests also, to put them to death, And they fled before them.

Mosiah 9:98 And it came to pass that they were about to return to the Land of Nephi and they met the men of Gideon;

Mosiah 9:101 And it came to pass that after they had ended the ceremony, that they returned to the Land of Nephi, rejoicing because their wives and their children were not slain; And they told Gideon what they had done to the king.

Mosiah 9:111 And having tarried in the wilderness and having discovered the daughters of the Lamanites, they laid and watched them; And when there were but few of them gathered together to dance, they came forth out of their secret places and took them and carried them into the wilderness,

Mosiah 9:113 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites found that their daughters had been missing, they were angry with the people of Limhi, for they thought it was the people of Limhi;

Mosiah 9:118 And it came to pass that the people of Limhi began to drive the Lamanites before them, yet they were not half so numerous as the Lamanites;

Mosiah 9:139 And when the Lamanites saw the people of Limhi, that they were without arms, They had compassion on them and were pacified toward them and returned with their king in peace to their own land.

Mosiah 9:143 And now the afflictions of the Nephites were great; And there was no way that they could deliver themselves out of their hands, for the Lamanites had surrounded them on every side.

Mosiah 9:149 Now there were a great many widows in the land and they did cry mightily from day to day, for a great fear of the Lamanites had come upon them.

Mosiah 9:151 And they went again to battle, but they were driven back again, suffering much loss;

Mosiah 9:152 Yea, they went again, even the third time, and suffered in the like manner; And those that were not slain returned again to the City of Nephi.

Mosiah 9:162 For they were desirous to take them, that they might punish them, For they had come into the Land of Nephi by night and carried off their grain and many of their precious things; Therefore, they laid wait for them.

Mosiah 9:165 And had they been the priests of Noah, he would have caused that they should be put to death; But when he found that they were not, but that they were his brethren and had come from the Land of Zarahemla, he was filled with exceeding great joy.

Mosiah 9:166 Now King Limhi had sent, previous to the coming of Ammon, a small number of men to search for the Land of Zarahemla, but they could not find it and they were lost in the wilderness;

Mosiah 9:169 And they brought a record with them, even a record of the people whose bones they had found, And they were engraven on plates of ore.

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 9:176 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 9:178 Now they were desirous to become even as Alma and his brethren which had fled into the wilderness -

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 10:3 And it came to pass that they could find no way to deliver themselves out of bondage, Except it were to take their women and children and their flocks and their herds and their tents and depart into the wilderness,

Mosiah 10:19 And after they had pursued them two days, they could no longer follow their tracks; Therefore, they were lost in the wilderness.

Mosiah 11:Intro An account of Alma and the people of the Lord, which were driven into the wilderness by the people of King Noah.

Mosiah 11:5 And it came to pass that they pitched their tents and began to till the ground and began to build buildings, etc., Yea, they were industrious and did labor exceedingly.

Mosiah 11:6 And it came to pass that the people were desirous that Alma should be their king, for he was beloved by his people;

Mosiah 11:8 "Nevertheless, if it were possible that ye could always have a just man to be your king, it would be well for you to have a king;

Mosiah 11:9 But remember the iniquity of King Noah and his priests; And I, myself, was caught in a snare and did many things which were abominable in the sight of the Lord, which caused me sore repentance.

Mosiah 11:12 "And now I say unto you, as you have been oppressed by King Noah and have been in bondage to him and his priests and have been brought into iniquity by them, Therefore, ye were bound with the bands of iniquity.

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 11:19 Therefore, he consecrated all their priests and all their teachers, And none were consecrated except it were just men;

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 11:27 And it came to pass that He did deliver them, And He did show forth His mighty power unto them; And great were their rejoicings.

Mosiah 11:28 For behold, it came to pass that while they were in the Land of Helam, yea, in the City of Helam, while tilling the land round about, Behold, an army of the Lamanites were in the borders of the land.

Mosiah 11:29 Now it came to pass that the brethren of Alma fled from their fields and gathered themselves together into the City of Helam; And they were much frightened because of the appearance of the Lamanites.

Mosiah 11:37 And it came to pass that Amulon did plead with the Lamanites, And he also sent forth their wives, which were the daughters of the Lamanites, to plead with their brethren, that they should not destroy their husbands.

Mosiah 11:39 And Amulon and his brethren did join the Lamanites; And they were traveling in the wilderness in search of the Land of Nephi when they discovered the Land of Helam which was possessed by Alma and his brethren.

Mosiah 11:43 And the king of the Lamanites had granted unto Amulon that he should be a king and a ruler over his people which were in the Land of Helam; Nevertheless, he should have no power to do anything contrary to the will of the king of the Lamanites.

Mosiah 11:45 Yea, even over the people which were in the Land of Shemlon and in the Land of Shilom and in the Land of Amulon,

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 11:53 Yea, a very cunning people, delighting in all manner of wickedness and plunder, except it were among their own brethren.

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

Mosiah 11:63 And now it came to pass that the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light,

Mosiah 11:67 Now it came to pass that Alma and his people, in the nighttime, gathered their flocks together, and also of their grain, Yea, even all the nighttime were they gathering their flocks together;

Mosiah 11:68 And in the morning the Lord caused a deep sleep to come upon the Lamanites, Yea, and all their taskmasters were in a profound sleep.

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

Mosiah 11:78 Now there were not so many of the children of Nephi, or so many of those which were descendants of Nephi, as there were of the people of Zarahemla, which was a descendant of Mulek and those which came with him into the wilderness;

Mosiah 11:79 And there were not so many of the people of Nephi and of the people of Zarahemla as there were of the Lamanites, Yea, they were not half so numerous.

Mosiah 11:80 And now all the people of Nephi were assembled together, And also all the people of Zarahemla; And they were gathered together in two bodies.

Mosiah 11:83 And now when Mosiah had made an end of reading the records, his people which tarried in the land were struck with wonder and amazement, for they knew not what to think;

Mosiah 11:84 For when they beheld those that had been delivered out of bondage, they were filled with exceeding great joy.

Mosiah 11:85 And again, when they thought of their brethren which had been slain by the Lamanites, they were filled with sorrow and even shed many tears of sorrow.

Mosiah 11:87 And again, when they thought upon the Lamanites which were their brethren, of their sinful and polluted state, they were filled with pain and anguish for the welfare of their souls.

Mosiah 11:88 And it came to pass that when those which were the children of Amulon and his brethren - which had taken to wife the daughters of the Lamanites - They were displeased with the conduct of their fathers,

Mosiah 11:89 And they would no longer be called by the names of their fathers; Therefore, they took upon themselves the name of Nephi, that they might be called the children of Nephi and be numbered among those which were called Nephites.

Mosiah 11:90 And now all the people of Zarahemla were numbered with the Nephites, And this because the kingdom had been conferred upon none but those which were descendants of Nephi.

Mosiah 11:92 And it came to pass that Alma did speak unto them when they were assembled together in large bodies; And he went from one body to another preaching unto the people repentance and faith on the Lord;

Mosiah 11:94 And it came to pass that after Alma had taught the people many things and had made an end of speaking to them, that King Limhi was desirous that he might be baptized, And all his people were desirous that they might be baptized also;

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 11:102 And now there were seven churches in the Land of Zarahemla.

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 11:104 And the Lord did pour out His Spirit upon them and they were blessed and prospered in the land.

Mosiah 11:105 Now it came to pass that there were many of the rising generation that could not understand the words of King Benjamin, being little children at the time he spake unto his people, And they did not believe the tradition of their fathers;

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 11:111 For it came to pass that they did deceive many with their flattering words which were in the church, and did cause them to commit many sins;

Mosiah 11:112 Therefore, it became expedient that those who committed sin that were in the church should be admonished by the church.

Mosiah 11:113 And it came to pass that they were brought before the priests and delivered up unto the priests by the teachers; And the priests brought them before Alma which was the high priest.

Mosiah 11:115 And it came to pass that Alma did not know concerning them, for there were many witnesses against them, Yea, the people stood and testified of their iniquity in abundance.

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 11:145 And those that would not confess their sins and repent of their iniquity, the same were not numbered among the people of the church and their names were blotted out.

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 11:150 And now it came to pass that the persecutions which were inflicted on the church by the unbelievers became so great that the church began to murmur and complain to their leaders concerning the matter; And they did complain to Alma,

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 11:159 Now the sons of Mosiah were numbered among the unbelievers, And also one of the sons of Alma was numbered among them, he being called Alma after his father; Nevertheless, he became a very wicked and an idolatrous man;

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 11:174 "Now I say unto thee, Go, And remember the captivity of thy fathers in the Land of Helam and in the Land of Nephi, And remember how great things He hath done for them, for they were in bondage and He hath delivered them.

Mosiah 11:176 And now it came to pass that these were the last words which the angel spake unto Alma, And he departed.

Mosiah 11:177 And now Alma and those that were with him fell again to the earth, for great was their astonishment; For with their own eyes they had beheld an angel of the Lord and his voice was as thunder which shook the earth,

Mosiah 11:180 Therefore, he was taken by those that were with him and carried helpless, even until he was laid before his father;

Mosiah 11:182 And he caused that a multitude should be gathered together, that they might witness what the Lord had done for his son, and also for those that were with him;

Mosiah 11:200 And now it came to pass that Alma began from this time forward to teach the people, And those which were with Alma at the time the angel appeared unto 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 11:203 And four of them were the sons of Mosiah, And their names were Ammon and Aaron and Omner and Himni; These were the names of the sons of Mosiah.

Mosiah 11:204 And after they had traveled throughout all the Land of Zarahemla and among all the people which were under the reign of King Mosiah, Zealously striving to repair all the injuries which they had done to the church,

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 12:5 Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish;

Mosiah 12:7 And thus did the Spirit of the Lord work upon them, for they were the very vilest of sinners;

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 12:16 And after having translated and caused to be written the records which were on the plates of gold which had been found by the people of Limhi, which were delivered to him by the hand of Limhi -

Mosiah 12:17 And this he did because of the great anxiety of his people, for they were desirous beyond measure to know concerning those people which had been destroyed -

Mosiah 12:18 And now he translated them by the means of those two stones which were fastened into the two rims of a bow;

Mosiah 12:19 Now these things were prepared from the beginning and were handed down from generation to generation for the purpose of interpreting languages;

Mosiah 12:22 Now after Mosiah had finished translating these records, Behold, it gave an account of the people which were destroyed, From the time that they were destroyed back to the building of the Great Tower, At the time the Lord confounded the language of the people,

Mosiah 12:23 and they were scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth, Yea, and even from that time until the creation of Adam -

Mosiah 12:24 Now this account did cause the people of Mosiah to mourn exceedingly, Yea, they were filled with sorrow;

Mosiah 13:6 Neither were any of the sons of Mosiah willing to take upon them the kingdom; Therefore, King Mosiah sent again among the people, yea, even a written word sent he among the people.

Mosiah 13:7 And these were the words that were written, saying: "Behold, O ye my people, or my brethren, for I esteem you as such, For I desire that ye should consider the cause which ye are called to consider, for ye are desirous to have a king;

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 13:24 "Behold, what great destruction did come upon them, And also because of their iniquities, they were brought into bondage;

Mosiah 13:25 And were it not for the interposition of their all-wise Creator, and this because of their sincere repentance, they must unavoidably remain in bondage until now.

Mosiah 13:34 Therefore, choose you by the voice of this people, judges, that ye may be judged according to the laws which hath been given you by our fathers, which are correct, And which were given them by the hand of the Lord.

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

Mosiah 13:53 And now it came to pass after King Mosiah had sent these things forth among the people, they were convinced of the truth of his words;

Mosiah 13:57 And they were exceedingly rejoiced because of the liberty which had been granted unto them,

Mosiah 13:65 And thus commenced the reign of the judges throughout all the Land of Zarahemla, among all the people which were called the Nephites; And Alma was the first and chief judge.

Alma 1:2 Nevertheless, he established laws and they were acknowledged by the people; Therefore, they were obliged to abide by the laws which he had made.

Alma 1:18 "And behold, thou art not only guilty of priestcraft, but hast endeavored to enforce it by the sword; And were priestcraft to be enforced among this people, it would prove their entire destruction.

Alma 1:19 "And thou hast shed the blood of a righteous man, yea, a man which has done much good among this people; And were we to spare thee, his blood would come upon us for vengeance.

Alma 1:24 Nevertheless, this did not put an end to the spreading of priestcraft through the land, for there were many which loved the vain things of the world; And they went forth preaching false doctrines, And this they did for the sake of riches and honor.

Alma 1:25 Nevertheless, they durst not lie, if it were known, for fear of the law, for liars were punished; Therefore, they pretended to preach according to their belief -

Alma 1:27 And they durst not steal for fear of the law, for such were punished; Neither durst they rob nor murder, for he that murdereth was punished unto death.

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 1:32 Nevertheless, there were many among them who began to be proud and began to contend warmly with their adversaries, even unto blows, Yea, they would smite one another with their fists.

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 1:39 And the priest, not esteeming himself above his hearers, for the preacher was no better than the hearer, neither was the teacher any better than the learner, And thus they were all equal and they did all labor, every man according to his strength.

Alma 1:41 And they did not wear costly apparel, yet they were neat and comely;

Alma 1:46 And they did not set their hearts upon riches; Therefore, they were liberal to all - both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church - Having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need.

Alma 1:50 Nevertheless, the law was put in force upon all those who did transgress it, inasmuch as it were possible.

Alma 1:51 And it came to pass that by thus exercising the law upon them, every man suffering according to that which he had done, they became more still and durst not commit any wickedness if it were known;

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 1:58 And it came to pass that the people assembled themselves together throughout all the land - Every man according to his mind, whether it were for or against Amlici - In separate bodies, having much dispute and wonderful contentions one with another;

Alma 1:59 And thus they did assemble themselves together to cast in their voices concerning the matter; And they were laid before the judges.

Alma 1:61 Now this did cause much joy in the hearts of those which were against him; But Amlici did stir up those which were in his favor to anger against those which were not in his favor.

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 1:65 Therefore, the people of the Nephites were aware of the intent of the Amlicites and therefore they did prepare for to meet them;

Alma 1:67 And thus they were prepared to meet the Amlicites at the time of their coming;

Alma 1:68 And there were appointed captains and higher captains and chief captains, according to their numbers.

Alma 1:78 Now those which he had sent out to watch the camp of the Amlicites were called Zeram and Amnor and Manti and Limher; These were they which went out with their men to watch the camp of the Amlicites.

Alma 1:84 And behold, as they were crossing the River Sidon, the Lamanites and the Amlicites being as numerous almost as it were as the sands of the sea, coming upon them to destroy them -

Alma 1:93 And it came to pass that when they had all crossed the River Sidon, that the Lamanites and the Amlicites began to flee before them, notwithstanding they were so numerous that they could not be numbered;

Alma 1:95 And the Nephites did pursue them with their might and did slay them, Yea, they were met on every hand and slain and driven until they were scattered on the west and on the north, until they had reached the wilderness which was called Hermounts;

Alma 1:97 And it came to pass that many died in the wilderness of their wounds and were devoured by those beasts, and also the vultures of the air; And their bones have been found and have been heaped upon the earth.

Alma 1:98 And it came to pass that the Nephites which were not slain by the weapons of war, after having buried those which had been slain - now the number of the slain were not numbered because of the greatness of their number - And after they had finished burying their dead, they all returned to their lands and to their houses and their wives and their children.

Alma 1:100 And also many of their fields of grain were destroyed, for they were trodden down by the hosts of men.

Alma 1:101 And now as many of the Lamanites and the Amlicites which had been slain upon the bank of the River Sidon were cast into the waters of Sidon; And behold, their bones are in the depths of the sea, and they are many.

Alma 1:102 And the Amlicites were distinguished from the Nephites, for they had marked themselves with red in their foreheads after the manner of the Lamanites; Nevertheless, they had not shorn their heads like unto the Lamanites.

Alma 1:103 Now the heads of the Lamanites were shorn, And they were naked, save it were skin which was girded about their loins, And also their armor which was girded about them, and their bows and their arrows, and their stones and their slings, etc.

Alma 1:104 And the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark which was set upon their fathers, Which was a curse upon them because of their transgression and their rebellion against their brethren which consisted of Nephi, Jacob and Joseph and Sam, which were just and holy men.

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 1:108 Therefore, whomsoever suffered himself to be led away by the Lamanites were called under that head and there was a mark set upon him.

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 1:116 "And again I say, he that departeth from thee shall no more be called thy seed; And I will bless thee, etc., and whomsoever shall be called thy seed, henceforth and forever." And these were the promises of the Lord unto Nephi and to his seed.

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 1:126 Now all these things were done, yea, all these wars and contentions were commenced and ended in the fifth year of the reign of the judges.

Alma 1:127 And in one year were thousands and tens of thousands of souls sent to the eternal world,

Alma 1:128 That they might reap their rewards according to their works - whether they were good or whether they were bad, To reap eternal happiness or eternal misery according to the spirit which he listed to obey - whether it be a good spirit or a bad one;

Alma 2:1 Now it came to pass in the sixth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, there were no contentions nor wars in the Land of Zarahemla.

Alma 2:2 And the people being afflicted, yea, greatly afflicted for the loss of their brethren, And also for the loss of their flocks and herds, And also for the loss of their fields of grain which were trodden underfoot and destroyed by the Lamanites -

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 2:5 Yea, they were baptized by the hand of Alma who had been consecrated the high priest over the people of the church by the hand of his father Alma.

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 2:10 And in all these things were they lifted up in the pride of their eyes, for they began to wear very costly apparel.

Alma 2:12 Yea, many of them were sorely grieved for the wickedness which they saw had begun to be among their people,

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 2:18 And it came to pass in the commencement of the ninth year, Alma seeing the wickedness of the church, And seeing also that the example of the church began to lead those who were unbelievers on from one piece of iniquity to another, thus bringing on the destruction of the people,

Alma 2:19 Yea, seeing great inequality among the people - Some lifting themselves up with their pride, despising others, Turning their backs upon the needy and the naked, and those which were hungry, and those which were athirst, and those which were sick and afflicted -

Alma 2:20 Now this was a great cause for lamentations among the people; While others were abasing themselves, succoring those who stood in need of their succor, Such as imparting their substance to the poor and the needy, feeding the hungry, And suffering all manner of afflictions for Christ's sake, which should come according to the spirit of prophecy, looking forward to that day; Thus retaining a remission of their sins,

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 2:27 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 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 3:6 "And behold, after that they were brought into bondage by the hands of the Lamanites in the wilderness, Yea, I say unto you, they were in captivity and again the Lord did deliver them out of bondage by the power of His word;

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 3:12 Behold, they were in the midst of darkness, Nevertheless, their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word;

Alma 3:13 Yea, they were encircled about by the bands of death and the chains of hell, And an everlasting destruction did await them.

Alma 3:14 "And now I ask of you my brethren, were they destroyed?

Alma 3:15 Behold I say unto you, nay, they were not.

Alma 3:16 "And again I ask, were the bands of death broken? And the chains of hell which encircled them about, were they loosed?

Alma 3:17 I say unto you, yea, they were loosed, And their souls did expand and they did sing redeeming love;

Alma 3:21 "Behold, I can tell you; Did not my father Alma believe in the words which were delivered by the mouth of Abinadi? And was he not a holy prophet?

Alma 3:26 "And behold, they were faithful until the end, therefore, they were saved.

Alma 3:48 Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves that ye have been sufficiently humble?

Alma 4:4 I mean those which were lifted up in the pride of their hearts - The same were rejected and their names were blotted out, that their names were not numbered among those of the righteous. And thus they began to establish the order of the church in the City of Zarahemla.

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 5:3 And even I could not have come now at this time, were it not that the judgment seat hath been given to another to reign in my stead; And the Lord in much mercy hath granted that I should come unto you.

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 5:5 That I should find that ye were not in the awful dilemma that our brethren were in at Zarahemla,

Alma 5:10 But behold, I trust that ye are not in a state of so much unbelief as were your brethren;

Alma 5:32 For as I said unto you from the beginning that I had much desire that ye were not in the state of dilemma like your brethren, Even so I have found that my desires have been gratified.

Alma 6:7 And it came to pass that they were baptized throughout all the land; So that when he had finished his work at Melek, he departed thence and traveled three days' journey on the north of the Land of Melek, And he came to a city which was called Ammonihah.

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 6:17 And it came to pass that while he was journeying thither - being weighed down with sorrow, wading through much tribulation and anguish of soul because of the wickedness of the people which were in the City of Ammonihah -

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 6:39 And they had power given unto them, insomuch that they could not be confined in dungeons, Neither were it possible that any man could slay them;

Alma 6:40 Nevertheless, they did not exercise their power until they were bound in bands and cast into prison;

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 7:10 Do ye not remember that they were all led by Him through the wilderness?

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 7:47 Now it came to pass that when I, Alma, had spoken these words, Behold, the people were wroth with me because I said unto them that they were a hard-hearted and a stiff - necked people;

Alma 7:48 And also because I said unto them that they were a lost and a fallen people, they were angry with me and sought to lay their hands upon me, that they might cast me into prison.

Alma 8:1 Now these are the words which Amulek preached unto the people which were in the Land of Ammonihah, saying: "I am Amulek; I am the son of Gidanah, who was the son of Ishmael, who was a descendant of Aminadi;

Alma 8:18 And now when Amulek had spoken these words, the people began to be astonished, Seeing there was more than one witness which testified of the things whereof they were accused, and also of the things which were to come, according to the spirit of prophecy which was in them.

Alma 8:19 Nevertheless, there were some among them which thought to question them, That by their cunning devices they might catch them in their words, That they might find witness against them, That they might deliver them to the judges,

Alma 8:21 Now, it was those men which sought to destroy them which were lawyers which were hired, or appointed by the people to administer the law at their times of trials, or at the trials of the crimes of the people before the judges.

Alma 8:22 Now these lawyers were learned in all the arts and cunning of the people; And this was to enable them that they might be skillful in their profession.

Alma 8:31 "Yea, and I say unto you that if it were not for the prayers of the righteous which are now in the land, that ye would even now be visited with utter destruction;

Alma 8:32 Yet it would not be by flood, as were the people in the days of Noah, but it would be by famine and by pestilence and the sword;

Alma 8:35 And now it came to pass that the people were more angry with Amulek and they cried out, saying: "This man doth revile against our laws, which are just, and our wise lawyers which we have selected."

Alma 8:48 Now it was in the law of Mosiah that every man which was a judge of the law, or which were appointed to be judges, should receive wages according to the time which they labored to judge those which were brought before them to be judged.

Alma 8:54 And the names are given by the Nephites, for they did not reckon after the manner of the Jews which were at Jerusalem; Neither did they measure after the manner of the Jews,

Alma 8:66 and that they might get money according to the suits which were brought before them; Therefore, they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.

Alma 9:2 Now the words that Alma spake unto Zeezrom were heard by the people round about, for the multitude was great. And he spake on this wise:

Alma 9:44 "And now behold, if it were possible that our first parents could have gone forth and partaken of the tree of life, they would have been forever miserable, having no preparatory state;

Alma 9:51 "Wherefore, He gave commandments unto men, they having first transgressed the first commandments as to things which were temporal and becoming as gods, knowing good from evil, Placing themselves in a state to act, or being placed in a state to act, according to their wills and pleasures, whether to do evil or to do good.

Alma 9:64 And those priests were ordained after the order of His Son in a manner that thereby the people might know in what manner to look forward to His Son for redemption.

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 9:68 Or in fine, in the first place they were on the same standing with their brethren - "Thus this holy calling being prepared from the foundation of the world for such as would not harden their hearts, Being in and through the atonement of the Only Begotten Son which was prepared;

Alma 9:72 "Now they were ordained after this manner, being called with a holy calling and ordained with a holy ordinance, And taking upon themselves the high priesthood of the holy order, which calling and ordinance and high priesthood is without beginning or end.

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 10:3 Therefore, they were called after this holy order and were sanctified, And their garments were washed white through the blood of the Lamb.

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 10:9 "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 10:11 "Now this Melchizedek was a king over the Land of Salem; And his people had waxed strong in iniquity and abominations, yea, they had all gone astray - they were full of all manner of wickedness;

Alma 10:15 "Now there were many before him and also there were many afterward, but none were greater, Therefore, of him they have more particularly made mention;

Alma 10:33 But the more part of them were desirous that they might destroy Alma and Amulek, For they were angry with Alma because of the plainness of his words unto Zeezrom;

Alma 10:35 And they were also angry with Alma and Amulek; And because they had testified so plainly against their wickedness, they sought to put them away privily.

Alma 10:37 And the people went forth and witnessed against them, testifying that they had reviled against their law and their lawyers and judges of the land, And also all the people that were in the land;

Alma 10:47 And it came to pass that they took Alma and Amulek and carried them forth to the place of martyrdom, that they might witness the destruction of those which were consumed by fire.

Alma 10:48 And it came to pass that when Amulek saw the pains of the women and children which were consuming in the fire, he was also pained and he saith unto Alma: "How can we witness this awful scene?

Alma 10:55 Now it came to pass that when the bodies of those which had been cast into the fire were consumed, and also the records which were cast in with them, The chief judge of the land came and stood before Alma and Amulek, as they were bound,

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 10:61 And it came to pass that when they had been cast into prison three days, there came many lawyers and judges and priests and teachers which were of the profession of Nehor;

Alma 10:72 And they also did take from them their clothes, that they were naked; And thus they were bound with strong cords and confined in prison.

Alma 10:73 And it came to pass after they had thus suffered for many days - and it was on the twelfth day, in the tenth month, in the tenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi - That the chief judge over the Land of Ammonihah, and many of their teachers and their lawyers, went in unto the prison where Alma and Amulek were bound with cords;

Alma 10:77 O Lord! give us strength according to our faith which is in Christ, even unto deliverance." And they brake the cords with which they were bound; And when the people saw this, they began to flee, for the fear of destruction had come upon them.

Alma 10:79 And the earth shook mightily and the walls of the prison were rent in twain so that they fell to the earth;

Alma 10:80 And the chief judge and the lawyers and priests and teachers which smote upon Alma and Amulek were slain by the fall thereof.

Alma 10:81 And Alma and Amulek came forth out of the prison and they were not hurt, for the Lord had granted unto them power according to their faith which was in Christ;

Alma 10:82 And they straightway came forth out of the prison and they were loosed from their bands.

Alma 10:83 And the prison had fallen to the earth, And every soul which was within the walls thereof, save it were Alma and Amulek, were slain; And they straightway came forth into the city.

Alma 10:85 And when they saw Alma and Amulek coming forth out of the prison and the walls thereof had fallen to the earth, They were struck with great fear and fled from the presence of Alma and Amulek, even as a goat fleeth with her young from two lions; And thus they did flee from the presence of Alma and Amulek.

Alma 10:86 And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek were commanded to depart out of that land; And they departed and came out even into the Land of Sidom;

Alma 10:89 And also Zeezrom lay sick at Sidom with a burning fever which was caused by the great tribulations of his mind on account of his wickedness, For he supposed that Alma and Amulek were no more, And he supposed that they had been slain by the cause of his iniquity;

Alma 10:91 Now when he heard that Alma and Amulek were in the Land of Sidom, his heart began to take courage, And he sent a message immediately unto them, desiring them to come unto him.

Alma 10:103 And Alma established a church in the Land of Sidom, And consecrated priests and teachers in the land to baptize unto the Lord whosoever were desirous to be baptized.

Alma 10:104 And it came to pass that they were many, for they did flock in from all the region round about Sidom and were baptized.

Alma 10:105 But as to the people that were in the Land of Ammonihah, they yet remained a hard-hearted and a stiff - necked people;

Alma 10:106 And they repented not of their sins, ascribing all the power of Alma and Amulek to the devil, For they were of the profession of Nehor and did not believe in the repentance of their sins.

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 11:3 And now it came to pass, before the Nephites could raise a sufficient army to drive them out of the land, They had destroyed the people which were in the City of Ammonihah, and also some around the borders of Noah, and taking others captive into the wilderness.

Alma 11:4 Now it came to pass that the Nephites were desirous to obtain those which had been carried away captive into the wilderness,

Alma 11:12 And they came upon the armies of the Lamanites, And the Lamanites were scattered and driven into the wilderness; And they took their brethren which had been taken captive by the Lamanites and there was not one soul of them which had been lost that were taken captive;

Alma 11:13 And they were brought by their brethren to possess their own lands.

Alma 11:14 And thus ended the eleventh year of the judges, the Lamanites having been driven out of the land and the people of Ammonihah were destroyed,

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 11:16 But behold, in one day it was left desolate, And their carcasses were mangled by dogs and by wild beasts of the wilderness.

Alma 11:17 Nevertheless, after many days, their dead bodies were heaped up upon the face of the earth and they were covered with a shallow covering;

Alma 11:19 And it was called Desolation of Nehors, for they were of the profession of Nehor which were slain, And their lands remained desolate.

Alma 11:22 And Alma and Amulek went forth preaching repentance unto the people in their temples and in their sanctuaries, and also in their synagogues, which were built after the manner of the Jews;

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 12:2 Now these sons of Mosiah were with Alma at the time the angel first appeared unto him, therefore, Alma did rejoice exceedingly to see his brethren;

Alma 12:3 And what added more to his joy, they were still his brethren in the Lord, yea, and they had waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth,

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 12:7 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 12:10 Now these were their journeyings, Having taken leave of their father Mosiah in the first year of the reign of the judges, Having refused the kingdom which their father was desirous to confer upon them, and also this was the minds of the people;

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 12:16 To the knowledge of the baseness of the traditions of their fathers, which were not correct.

Alma 12:17 And it came to pass that the Lord did visit them with His Spirit and said unto them: "Be comforted"; And they were comforted.

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 12:23 And their hearts were set upon riches, or upon gold and silver and precious stones,

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 12:33 And the king inquired of Ammon if it were his desires to dwell in the land among the Lamanites, or among his people.

Alma 12:39 Therefore, as Ammon and the servants of the king were driving forth their flocks to this place of water, Behold, a certain number of the Lamanites who had been with their flocks to water stood and scattered the flocks of Ammon and the servants of the king; And they scattered them insomuch that they fled many ways.

Alma 12:40 Now the servants of the king began to murmur, saying: "Now the king will slay us as he has our brethren because their flocks were scattered by the wickedness of these men."

Alma 12:44 Now these were the thoughts of Ammon when he saw the affliction of those which he termed to be his brethren.

Alma 12:50 And they were not in number a very few, therefore, they did not fear Ammon, For they supposed that one of their men could slay him according to their pleasure, For they knew not that the Lord had promised Mosiah that he would deliver his sons out of their hands, Neither did they know anything concerning the Lord;

Alma 12:54 Nevertheless, they were angry because of the slain of their brethren and they were determined that he should fall;

Alma 12:58 yea, and they were not few in number, And he caused them to flee by the strength of his arm -

Alma 12:59 Now six of them had fallen by the sling, but he slew none save it were their leader - And he smote off as many of their arms as were lifted against him, and they were not a few.

Alma 12:61 And they were carried in unto the king for a testimony of the things which they had done.

Alma 12:73 For he had slain many of them because their brethren had scattered their flocks at the place of water; And thus, because they had had their flocks scattered, they were slain.

Alma 12:74 Now it was the practice of the Lamanites to stand by the Waters of Sebus to scatter the flocks of the people, That thereby they might drive away many that were scattered unto their own land, it being a practice of plunder among them.

Alma 12:98 And if it were needed, I would guard thee with my armies, but I know that thou art more powerful than all they, Nevertheless, whatsoever thou desirest of me, I will grant it unto thee."

Alma 12:110 And Ammon saith: "Yea, and He looketh down upon all the children of men; And He knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart, for by His hand were they all created from the beginning."

Alma 12:123 And now when he had said this, he fell unto the earth as if he were dead.

Alma 12:124 And it came to pass that his servants took him and carried him in unto his wife and laid him upon a bed; And he lay as if he were dead for the space of two days and two nights;

Alma 12:126 And it came to pass that after two days and two nights, They were about to take his body and lay it in a sepulcher which they had made for the purpose of burying their dead.

Alma 12:150 And it came to pass that they did call on the name of the Lord in their might, even until they had all fallen to the earth, Save it were one of the Lamanitish women whose name was Abish, she having been converted unto the Lord for many years on account of a remarkable vision of her father, Thus having been converted to the Lord, never had made it known.

Alma 12:154 And there came a multitude; And to their astonishment they beheld the king and the queen and their servants prostrate upon the earth; And they all lay there as though they were dead;

Alma 12:158 And they were also rebuked by those men which had stood at the Waters of Sebus and scattered the flocks which belonged to the king,

Alma 12:159 For they were angry with Ammon because of the number which he had slain of their brethren at the Waters of Sebus while defending the flocks of the king.

Alma 12:164 And it came to pass that there were many among them who said that Ammon was the Great Spirit; And others said he was sent by the Great Spirit;

Alma 12:166 And there were some which said that Ammon was sent by the Great Spirit to afflict them because of their iniquities, And that it was the Great Spirit that had always attended the Nephites, which had even delivered them out of their hands,

Alma 12:168 And while they were thus contending, the woman servant, which had caused the multitude to be gathered together, came; And when she saw the contention which was among the multitude, she was exceeding sorrowful, even unto tears.

Alma 12:171 And when she had said this, she clapped her hands, being filled with joy, speaking many words which were not understood.

Alma 12:173 And he immediately, seeing the contention among his people, went forth and began to rebuke them and to teach them the words which he had heard from the mouth of Ammon; And as many as heard his words believed and were converted unto the Lord;

Alma 12:174 But there were many among them who would not hear his words, therefore, they went their way.

Alma 12:178 And it came to pass that there were many that did believe in their words; And as many as did believe were baptized; And they became a righteous people and they did establish a church among them;

Alma 12:186 Now Lamoni saith unto him: "Who told thee that thy brethren were in prison?"

Alma 12:190 And it came to pass that as Ammon and Lamoni were a journeying thither, that they met the father of Lamoni who was king over all the land.

Alma 12:201 But Ammon stood forth and saith unto him: "Behold, thou shalt not slay thy son; Nevertheless, it were better that he should fall than thee,

Alma 12:216 And it came to pass that Lamoni found favor in the eyes of the king of the land, therefore, the brethren of Ammon were brought forth out of prison.

Alma 12:217 And when Ammon did meet them he was exceeding sorrowful, For behold, they were naked and their skins were worn exceedingly because of being bound with strong cords.

Alma 12:218 And they also had suffered hunger, thirst and all kind of afflictions; Nevertheless, they were patient in all their sufferings.

Alma 12:221 And there they were taken and cast into prison and bound with strong cords and kept in prison for many days, And were delivered by Lamoni and Ammon.

Alma 13:3 Now the Lamanites of themselves were sufficiently hardened, but the Amalekites and the Amulonites were still harder; Therefore, they did cause the Lamanites that they should harden their hearts, that they should wax stronger in wickedness and their abominations.

Alma 13:5 And he began to preach to them in their synagogues, for they had built synagogues after the order of the Nehors, for many of the Amalekites and the Amulonites were after the order of the Nehors.

Alma 13:13 Now Aaron began to open the scripture unto them concerning the coming of Christ, and also concerning the resurrection of the dead, And that there could be no redemption for mankind save it were through the death and sufferings of Christ and the atonement of His blood.

Alma 13:14 And it came to pass that as he began to expound these things unto them, they were angry with him and began to mock him, And they would not hear the words which he spake;

Alma 13:18 Nevertheless, Aaron and a certain number of his brethren were taken and cast into prison, And the remainder of them fled out of the Land of Middoni unto the regions round about;

Alma 13:19 And those which were cast into prison suffered many things; And they were delivered by the hand of Lamoni and Ammon, And they were fed and clothed,

Alma 13:20 And they went forth again to declare the word; And thus they were delivered for the first time out of prison; And thus they had suffered.

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 13:22 And it came to pass that the Lord began to bless them insomuch that they brought many to the knowledge of the truth, Yea, they did convince many of their sins and of the tradition of their fathers which were not correct.

Alma 13:24 And King Lamoni would not suffer that Ammon should serve him or be his servant; But he caused that there should be synagogues built in the Land of Ishmael, And he caused that his people, or the people which were under his reign, should assemble themselves together;

Alma 13:26 And he did also declare unto them that they were a people which were under him and that they were a free people, that they were free from the oppressions of the king, his father, For that his father had granted unto him that he might reign over the people which were in the Land of Ishmael and in all the land round about.

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 13:31 For after he departed from the Land of Middoni, he was led by the Spirit to the Land of Nephi, even to the house of the king which was over all the land, save it were the Land of Ishmael; And he was the father of Lamoni.

Alma 13:54 And now when the king had said these words, he was struck as if he were dead.

Alma 13:56 and she came in unto the king; And when she saw him lay as if he were dead, and also Aaron and his brethren standing as though they had been the cause of his fall, She was angry with them and commanded that her servants, or the servants of the king, should take them and slay them.

Alma 13:64 And the king stood forth and began to minister unto them, And he did minister unto them insomuch that his whole household were converted unto the Lord.

Alma 13:66 But the king stood forth among them and administered unto them. And it came to pass that they were pacified toward Aaron and his brethren which were with him.

Alma 13:67 And it came to pass that when the king saw that the people were pacified, he caused that Aaron and his brethren should stand forth in the midst of the multitude and that they should preach the word unto them.

Alma 13:68 And it came to pass that the king sent a proclamation throughout all the land, amongst all his people which were in all his land, which were in all the regions round about, Which was bordering even to the sea on the east and on the west and which was divided from the Land of Zarahemla by a narrow strip of wilderness,

Alma 13:69 Which ran from the Sea East even to the Sea West and round about on the borders of the seashore and the borders of the wilderness which was on the north by the Land of Zarahemla, Through the borders of Manti, by the head of the River Sidon, running from the east toward the west; And thus were the Lamanites and the Nephites divided.

Alma 13:70 Now the more idle part of the Lamanites lived in the wilderness and dwelt in tents; And they were spread through the wilderness on the west in the Land of Nephi,

Alma 13:72 And also there were many Lamanites on the east by the seashore whither the Nephites had driven them; And thus the Nephites were nearly surrounded by the Lamanites.

Alma 13:77 And thus the Land of Nephi and the Land of Zarahemla were nearly surrounded by water, there being a small neck of land between the Land Northward and the Land Southward.

Alma 13:81 Now this was wisdom in the Nephites; As the Lamanites were an enemy to them, they would not suffer their afflictions on every hand, And also that they might have a country whither they might flee according to their desires.

Alma 14:6 And that they might be convinced that they were all brethren, And that they had not ought to murder, nor to plunder, nor to steal, nor to commit adultery, nor to commit any manner of wickedness.

Alma 14:9 And thousands were brought to the knowledge of the Lord, Yea, thousands were brought to believe in the traditions of the Nephites; And they were taught the records and the prophecies which were handed down, even to the present time.

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 14:11 Yea, I say unto you, as the Lord liveth, as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching and were converted unto the Lord never did fall away, for they became a righteous people;

Alma 14:13 Now these are they which were converted unto the Lord - The people of the Lamanites which were in the Land of Ishmael, And also of the people of the Lamanites which were in the Land of Middoni, And also of the people of the Lamanites which were in the City of Nephi, And also of the people of the Lamanites which were in the Land of Shilom, And which were in the Land of Shemlon, And in the City of Lemuel, And in the City of Shimnilon -

Alma 14:14 And these are the names of the cities of the Lamanites which were converted unto the Lord; And these are they that laid down the weapons of their rebellion, yea, all their weapons of war; And they were all Lamanites.

Alma 14:15 And the Amalekites were not converted, save only one, neither were any of the Amulonites, But they did harden their hearts, and also the hearts of the Lamanites in that part of the land whithersoever they dwelt, yea, and all their villages and all their cities;

Alma 14:16 Therefore, we have named all the cities of the Lamanites in which they did repent and come to the knowledge of the truth and were converted.

Alma 14:17 And now it came to pass that the king and those people which were converted were desirous that they might have a name, that thereby they might be distinguished from their brethren,

Alma 14:19 And it came to pass that they called their name Anti-Nephi-Lehis; And they were called by this name and were no more called Lamanites.

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 14:21 And it came to pass that the Amalekites and the Amulonites and the Lamanites - Which were in the Land of Amulon, and also in the Land of Helam, and which were in the Land of Jerusalem and, in fine, in all the land round about, Which had not been converted and had not taken upon them the name of Anti - Nephi - Lehi - Were stirred up by the Amalekites and by the Amulonites to anger against their brethren;

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 14:42 And now it came to pass that when the king had made an end of these sayings and all the people were assembled together, They took their swords and all the weapons which were used for the shedding of man's blood and they did bury them up deep in the earth;

Alma 14:46 And thus we see that when these Lamanites were brought to believe and to know the truth, that they were firm and would suffer even unto death rather than to commit sin;

Alma 14:49 And it came to pass that when the people saw that they were coming against them, they went out to meet them and prostrated themselves before them to the earth and began to call on the name of the Lord;

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 14:52 And there were many whose hearts had swollen in them for those of their brethren who had fallen under the sword, for they repented of the things which they had done.

Alma 14:53 And it came to pass that they threw down their weapons of war and they would not take them again, for they were stung for the murders which they had committed; And they came down, even as their brethren, relying upon the mercies of those whose arms were lifted to slay 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 14:55 And there was not a wicked man slain among them, but there were more than a thousand brought to the knowledge of the truth; Thus we see that the Lord worketh in many ways to the salvation of His people.

Alma 14:56 Now the greatest number of those of the Lamanites which slew so many of their brethren were Amalekites and Amulonites, the greatest number of whom were after the order of the Nehors;

Alma 14:57 Now among those which joined the people of the Lord there were none which were Amalekites or Amulonites or which were after the order of Nehor, but they were actual descendants of Laman and Lemuel.

Alma 14:59 And behold, now it came to pass that those Lamanites were more angry because they had slain their brethren, Therefore, they swore vengeance upon the Nephites;

Alma 14:60 And they did no more attempt to slay the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi at that time, But they took their armies and went over into the borders of the Land of Zarahemla and fell upon the people which were in the Land of Ammonihah and destroyed them;

Alma 14:61 And after that, they had many battles with the Nephites in the which they were driven and slain.

Alma 14:62 And among the Lamanites which were slain were almost all the seed of Amulon and his brethren, which were the priests of Noah, And they were slain by the hands of the Nephites;

Alma 14:65 Therefore, they began to disbelieve the traditions of their fathers and to believe in the Lord and that He gave great power unto the Nephites, And thus there were many of them converted in the wilderness.

Alma 14:66 And it came to pass that those rulers which were the remnant of the children of Amulon caused that they should be put to death, yea, all those that believed in these things;

Alma 14:68 And behold, they are hunted at this day by the Lamanites. Thus the words of Abinadi were brought to pass which he said concerning the seed of the priests which caused that he should suffer death by fire;

Alma 14:72 And now behold, these words were verified, for they were driven by the Lamanites and they were hunted and they were smitten.

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 14:81 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 14:95 Yea, they were encircled about with everlasting darkness and destruction, But behold, He hath brought them into His everlasting light, yea, into everlasting salvation, And they are encircled about with the matchless bounty of His love.

Alma 14:100 O my soul almost, as it were, fleeth at the thought!

Alma 14:111 "Now when our hearts were depressed and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us and said: 'Go amongst thy brethren the Lamanites and bear with patience thine afflictions, And I will give unto thee success.'

Alma 14:123 "Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yea, I say unto you, there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we since the world began;

Alma 15:2 And it came to pass that the Amalekites, because of their loss, were exceeding angry;

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 15:6 Therefore, when Ammon and his brethren saw this great work of destruction, they were moved with compassion and they said unto the king: "Let us gather together this people of the Lord, And let us go down to the Land of Zarahemla to our brethren the Nephites and flee out of the hands of our enemies, that we be not destroyed."

Alma 15:22 And it came to pass that the chief judge sent a proclamation throughout all the land, desiring the voice of the people concerning the admitting their brethren which were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

Alma 15:29 And it came to pass that they went down into the Land of Jershon and took possession of the Land of Jershon. And they were called by the Nephites, the people of Ammon,

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 15:35 And thus they were a zealous and beloved people, a highly favored people of the Lord.

Alma 15:36 And now it came to pass that after the people of Ammon were established in the Land of Jershon, and a church also established in the Land of Jershon, And the armies of the Nephites were set round about the Land of Jershon, yea, in all the borders round about the Land of Zarahemla, Behold, the armies of the Lamanites had followed their brethren into the wilderness;

Alma 15:37 And thus there was a tremendous battle, yea, even such an one as never had been known among all the people in the land from the time Lehi left Jerusalem; Yea, and tens of thousands of the Lamanites were slain and scattered abroad,

Alma 15:38 Yea, and also there was a tremendous slaughter among the people of Nephi; Nevertheless, the Lamanites were driven and scattered and the people of Nephi returned again to their land.

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 15:67 Now when I think of the success of these my brethren, my soul is carried away, Even to the separation of it from the body, as it were, so great is my joy;

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

Alma 16:2 Now their dead were not numbered because of the greatness of their numbers, neither were the dead of the Nephites numbered -

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 16:11 But if he murdered, he was punished unto death, And if he robbed, he was also punished, And if he stole, he was also punished, And if he committed adultery, he was also punished; Yea, for all this wickedness they were punished, for there was a law that men should be judged according to their crimes;

Alma 16:12 Nevertheless, there was no law against a man's belief, Therefore, a man was punished only for the crimes which he had done, Therefore, all men were on equal grounds.

Alma 16:20 Now this man went over to the Land of Jershon also to preach these things among the people of Ammon, which were once the people of the Lamanites;

Alma 16:21 But behold, they were more wise than many of the Nephites, for they took him and bound him and carried him before Ammon, which was a high priest over that people;

Alma 16:34 "And ye keep them down, even as it were, in bondage, That ye may glut yourselves with the labors of their hands, That they durst not look up with boldness, And that they durst not enjoy their rights and privileges;

Alma 16:41 And notwithstanding the many labors which I have performed in the church, I have never received so much as even one senine for my labor, Neither hath any of my brethren, save it were in the judgment seat, And then we have received only according to law for our time.

Alma 16:42 "And now, if we do not receive anything for our labors in the church, what doth it profit us to labor in the church, save it were to declare the truth that we may have rejoicings in the joy of our brethren?

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 16:68 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 16:69 And I taught them even until I had much success, insomuch that I verily believed that they were true; And for this cause I withstood the truth, even until I have brought this great curse upon me."

Alma 16:74 And it came to pass that they were all convinced of the wickedness of Korihor, therefore they were all converted again unto the Lord; And this put an end to the iniquity after the manner of Korihor;

Alma 16:78 Now it came to pass that after the end of Korihor, Alma having received tidings that the Zoramites were perverting the ways of the Lord and that Zoram, which was their leader, was leading the hearts of the people to bow down to dumb idols, etc., His heart again began to sicken because of the iniquity of the people;

Alma 16:83 Therefore, he took Ammon and Aaron and Omner - and Himni he did leave in the church in Zarahemla, but the former three he took with him - and also Amulek and Zeezrom which were at Melek, And he also took two of his sons;

Alma 16:84 Now the eldest of his sons he took not with him - and his name was Helaman - but the names of those which he took with him were Shiblon and Coreanton; And these are the names of those which went with him among the Zoramites to preach unto them the word.

Alma 16:85 Now the Zoramites were dissenters from the Nephites, therefore they had had the word of God preached unto them;

Alma 16:95 Now it came to pass that after Alma and his brethren and his sons had heard these prayers, they were astonished beyond all measure,

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 16:100 Now when Alma saw this, his heart was grieved, For he saw that they were a wicked and a perverse people, Yea, he saw that their hearts were set upon gold and upon silver and upon all manner of fine goods,

Alma 16:101 Yea, and he also saw that their hearts were lifted up unto great boasting, in their pride.

Alma 16:116 Now it came to pass that when Alma had said these words, that he clapped his hands upon all they which were with him;

Alma 16:117 And behold, as he clapped his hands upon them, they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Alma 16:119 And the Lord provided for them, that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst, Yea, and He also gave them strength that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ.

Alma 16:122 And it came to pass that after much labor among them, they began to have success among the poorer class of the people; For behold, they were cast out of the synagogues because of the coarseness of their apparel,

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 16:124 Now as Alma was teaching and speaking unto the people upon the Hill Onidah, there came a great multitude unto him which were those of which have been spoken which were poor in heart because of their poverty as to the things of the world;

Alma 16:127 And now when Alma heard this, he turned him about, his face immediately toward him, and he beheld with great joy, For he beheld that their afflictions had truly humbled them and that they were in a preparation to hear the word;

Alma 16:128 Therefore, he did say no more to the other multitude, But he stretched forth his hand and cried unto those which he beheld, which were truly penitent, and saith unto them: "I behold that ye are lowly in heart and, if so, blessed are ye.

Alma 16:136 "And now as I said unto you that because ye were compelled to be humble, ye were blessed, Do ye not suppose that they are more blessed who truly humble themselves because of the word?

Alma 16:163 "And now behold, after ye have tasted this light, is your knowledge perfect? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; Neither must ye lay aside your faith, For ye have only exercised your faith to plant the seed, that ye might try the experiment to know if the seed were good.

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 16:193 But there were many which were so hardened that they would not look, therefore they perished;

Alma 16:202 Yea, I know that these things were taught unto you bountifully before your dissension from among us, And as ye have desired of my beloved brother that he should make known unto you what ye should do because of your afflictions - And he hath spoken somewhat unto you to prepare your minds, Yea, and he hath exhorted you unto faith and to patience,

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.

Alma 16:245 And it came to pass that after they had found out the minds of all the people, Those which were in favor of the words which had been spoken by Alma and his brethren were cast out of the land - And they were many - And they came over also into the Land of Jershon.

Alma 16:247 Now the people of the Zoramites were angry with the people of Ammon which were in Jershon; And the chief ruler of the Zoramites, being a very wicked man, sent over unto the people of Ammon desiring them that they should cast out of their land all those which came over from them into their land,

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 16:258 Now Alma, being grieved for the iniquity of his people, Yea, for the wars and the bloodsheds and the contentions which were among them, And having been to declare the word, or sent to declare the word among all the people in every city,

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 17:6 And behold, he spake unto us as it were the voice of thunder, And the whole earth did tremble beneath our feet, And we all fell to the earth, for the fear of the Lord came upon us.

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 17:18 And O, what joy and what marvelous light I did behold! Yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain; Yea, I say unto you my son, that there can be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains;

Alma 17:38 Yea, I say unto you, were it not for these things that these records do contain, which are on these plates, Ammon and his brethren could not have convinced so many thousands of the Lamanites of the incorrect tradition of their fathers;

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 17:62 And ye shall teach them to abhor such wickedness and abominations and murders, And ye shall also teach them that these people were destroyed on account of their wickedness and abominations and their murders;

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 17:75 Nevertheless, because those miracles were worked by small means, nevertheless it did show unto them marvelous works.

Alma 17:76 They were slothful and forgot to exercise their faith and diligence, And then those marvelous works ceased and they did not progress in their journey;

Alma 17:77 Therefore, they tarried in the wilderness, or did not travel a direct course, and were afflicted with hunger and thirst because of their transgression.

Alma 17:78 And now my son, I would that ye should understand that these things are not without a shadow; For as our fathers were slothful to give heed to this compass - now these things were temporal - they did not prosper, Even so it is with things which are spiritual;

Alma 19:11 I would not dwell upon your crimes to harrow up your soul, if it were not for your good;

Alma 19:23 And now my son, this was the ministry unto which ye were called - To declare these glad tidings unto this people, To prepare their minds, or rather, that salvation might come unto them, that they may prepare the minds of their children to hear the word at the time of His coming.

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 19:87 But behold, it was appointed unto man to die; Therefore, as they were cut off from the tree of life, Therefore, they should be cut off from the face of the earth and man became lost forever; Yea, they became fallen man.

Alma 19:88 And now we see by this that our first parents were cut off, both temporally and spiritually, from the presence of the Lord, And thus we see they became subjects to follow after their own will.

Alma 19:90 Therefore, as the soul could never die, And the fall had brought upon all mankind a spiritual death as well as a temporal - That is, they were cut off from the presence of the Lord - Therefore, it was expedient that mankind should be reclaimed from this spiritual death;

Alma 19:92 And now remember, my son, if it were not for the plan of redemption - laying it aside - As soon as they were dead, their souls were miserable, being cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Alma 19:94 Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; For, except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect, except it should destroy the work of justice;

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 19:98 Now repentance could not come unto men except there were a punishment, which also was as eternal as the life of the soul should be, Affixed opposite to the plan of happiness, which was as eternal also as the life of the soul.

Alma 19:108 And thus God bringeth about His great and eternal purposes which were prepared from the foundation of the world.

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 20:4 For behold, it came to pass that the Zoramites became Lamanites; Therefore, in the commencement of the eighteenth year, the people of the Nephites saw that the Lamanites were coming upon them, Therefore, they made preparations for war, Yea, they gathered together their armies in the Land of Jershon.

Alma 20:6 And now, as the Amalekites were of a more wicked and a murderous disposition than the Lamanites were, in and of themselves, Therefore, Zerahemnah appointed chief captains over the Lamanites, And they were all the Amalekites and the Zoramites.

Alma 20:8 For behold, his designs were to stir up the Lamanites to anger against the Nephites; And this he did that he might usurp great power over them, And also that he might gain power over the Nephites by bringing them into bondage, etc.

Alma 20:11 Yea, and they also knew the extreme hatred of the Lamanites towards their brethren which were the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi, which were called the people of Ammon;

Alma 20:15 And thus the Nephites were compelled, alone, to withstand against the Lamanites which were a compound of Laman and Lemuel and the sons of Ishmael, And all those which had dissented from the Nephites, which were Amalekites and Zoramites, And the descendants of the priests of Noah;

Alma 20:16 Now those descendants were as numerous, nearly, as were the Nephites; And thus the Nephites were obliged to contend with their brethren, even unto bloodshed.

Alma 20:17 And it came to pass as the armies of the Lamanites had gathered together in the Land of Antionum, Behold, the armies of the Nephites were prepared to meet them in the Land of Jershon.

Alma 20:20 And it came to pass that he met the Lamanites in the borders of Jershon; And his people were armed with swords and with scimitars and all manner of weapons of war.

Alma 20:21 And it came to pass that when the armies of the Lamanites saw that the people of Nephi - Or that Moroni had prepared his people with breastplates and with armshields, yea, and also shields to defend their heads, And also they were dressed with thick clothing -

Alma 20:23 They had only their swords and their scimitars, their bows and their arrows, their stones and their slings; But they were naked, save it were a skin which was girded about their loins, Yea, all were naked, save it were the Zoramites and the Amalekites;

Alma 20:24 But they were not armed with breastplates nor shields, Therefore, they were exceeding fraid of the armies of the Nephites, because of their armor, Notwithstanding their number being so much greater than the Nephites.

Alma 20:27 And it came to pass that the word of the Lord came unto Alma, And Alma informed the messengers of Moroni that the armies of the Lamanites were marching round about in the wilderness, That they might come over into the Land of Manti, That they might commence an attack upon the more weak part of the people;

Alma 20:30 And he caused that all the people in that quarter of the land should gather themselves together to battle against the Lamanites to defend their lands and their country, their rights and their liberties; Therefore they were prepared against the time of the coming of the Lamanites.

Alma 20:34 And he also knowing that it was the only desire of the Nephites to preserve their lands and their liberty and their church, Therefore, he thought it no sin that he should defend them by stratagem, Therefore, he found, by his spies, which course the Lamanites were to take.

Alma 20:43 And they were pursued by Lehi and his men, And they were driven by Lehi into the waters of Sidon, And they crossed the waters of Sidon;

Alma 20:46 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did flee again before them, toward the Land of Manti, And they were met again by the armies of Moroni.

Alma 20:48 And they were inspired by the Zoramites and the Amalekites, which were their chief captains and leaders, And by Zerahemnah who was their chief captain, or their chief leader and commander;

Alma 20:49 Yea, they did fight like dragons and many of the Nephites were slain by their hands - Yea, for they did smite in two many of their headplates, And they did pierce many of their breastplates, And they did smite off many of their arms; And thus the Lamanites did smite in their fierce anger.

Alma 20:50 Nevertheless, the Nephites were inspired by a better cause, For they were not fighting for monarchy nor power, But they were fighting for their homes and their liberties, their wives and their children and their all, yea, for their rights of worship and their church;

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 20:52 And again, the Lord hath said that, "Ye shall defend your families even unto bloodshed, " Therefore, for this cause were the Nephites contending with the Lamanites - To defend themselves and their families and their lands, their country and their rights and their religion.

Alma 20:53 And it came to pass that when the men of Moroni saw the fierceness and the anger of the Lamanites, they were about to shrink and flee from them;

Alma 20:57 Now the Lamanites were more numerous, yea, by more than double the number of the Nephites; Nevertheless, they were driven insomuch that they were gathered together in one body in the valley upon the bank by the River Sidon;

Alma 20:58 Therefore, the armies of Moroni encircled them about, yea, even on both sides of the river, For behold, on the east were the men of Lehi;

Alma 20:59 Therefore, when Zerahemnah saw the men of Lehi on the east of the River Sidon and the armies of Moroni on the west of the River Sidon, that they were encircled about by the Nephites, They were struck with terror.

Alma 20:86 Now there were many when they heard these words and saw the scalp which was upon the sword, they were struck with fear, And many came forth and threw down their weapons of war at the feet of Moroni and entered into a covenant of peace;

Alma 20:91 But behold, their naked skins and their bare heads were exposed to the sharp swords of the Nephites, Yea, behold, they were pierced and smitten,

Alma 20:93 Now Zerahemnah, when he saw that they were all about to be destroyed, he cried mightily unto Moroni, Promising that he would covenant, and also his people with them, if they would spare the remainder of their lives, that they never would come to war again against them.

Alma 20:95 And it came to pass that he took the weapons of war from the Lamanites; And after they had entered into a covenant with him of peace, they were suffered to depart into the wilderness.

Alma 20:96 Now, the number of their dead were not numbered, because of the greatness of the number, Yea, the number of their dead were exceeding great, both on the Nephites and on the Lamanites.

Alma 21:1 Behold, now it came to pass that the people of Nephi were exceedingly rejoiced because the Lord had again delivered them out of the hands of their enemies;

Alma 21:29 And it came to pass that as many as would not hearken to the words of Helaman and his brethren were gathered together against their brethren;

Alma 21:30 And now behold, they were exceeding wroth, insomuch that they were determined to slay them.

Alma 21:31 Now the leader of those which were wroth against their brethren was a large and a strong man, And his name was Amalickiah;

Alma 21:32 And Amalickiah was desirous to be a king, And those people which were wroth were also desirous that he should be their king; And they were - the greater part of them - the lower judges of the land, And they were seeking for power;

Alma 21:34 Thus they were led away by Amalickiah to dissensions, notwithstanding the preaching of Helaman and his brethren, Yea, notwithstanding their exceeding great care over the church, for they were high priests over the church;

Alma 21:35 And there were many in the church which believed in the flattering words of Amalickiah, Therefore they dissented, even from the church.

Alma 21:36 And thus were the affairs of the people of Nephi exceeding precarious and dangerous, Notwithstanding their great victory which they had had over the Lamanites, And their great rejoicings which they had had because of their delivery by the hands of the Lord.

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 21:45 Yea, all those who were true believers in Christ took upon them gladly the name of Christ, or Christians, as they were called, because of their belief in Christ, which should come - And therefore, at this time, Moroni prayed that the cause of the Christians and the freedom of the land might be favored.

Alma 21:61 And now it came to pass that when Moroni had said these words, he went forth, and also sent forth in all the parts of the land where there were dissensions, And gathered together all the people which were desirous to maintain their liberty to stand against Amalickiah and those which had dissented, which were called Amalickiahites.

Alma 21:62 And it came to pass that when Amalickiah saw that the people of Moroni were more numerous than the Amalickiahites, And he also saw that his people were doubtful concerning the justice of the cause in which they had undertaken, Therefore, fearing that he should not gain the point, he took those of his people which would and departed into the Land of Nephi.

Alma 21:68 And it came to pass that Amalickiah fled with a small number of his men, And the remainder were delivered up into the hands of Moroni and were taken back into the Land of Zarahemla.

Alma 21:74 And it came to pass that there were many who died, firmly believing that their souls were redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ; Thus they went out of the world rejoicing.

Alma 21:75 And there were some who died with fevers, which at some seasons of the year was very frequent in the land -

Alma 21:77 But there were many who died with old age. And those who died in the faith of Christ are happy in Him, as we must needs suppose.

Alma 21:79 And it came to pass that when the proclamation had gone forth among them, they were exceeding fraid - Yea, they feared to displease the king, And they also feared to go to battle against the Nephites, lest they should lose their lives.

Alma 21:83 And now he had got the command of those parts of the Lamanites which were in favor of the king, And he sought to gain favor of those which were not obedient.

Alma 21:84 Therefore, he went forward to the place which was called Oneidah - for thither had all the Lamanites fled - For they discovered the army coming and they supposed that they were coming to destroy them, Therefore, they fled to Oneidah to the place of arms.

Alma 21:89 And it came to pass that when it was night, he sent a secret embassy into the Mount Antipas, Desiring that the leader of those which were upon the mount, whose name was Lehonti, that he should come down to the foot of the mount, for he desired to speak with him.

Alma 21:94 And it came to pass that Lehonti came down with his men and surrounded the men of Amalickiah, So that before they awoke at the dawn of the day, they were surrounded by the armies of Lehonti.

Alma 21:95 And it came to pass that when they saw that they were surrounded, They pled with Amalickiah that he would suffer them to fall in with their brethren, that they might not be destroyed.

Alma 21:111 Now when the servants of the king saw an army pursuing after them, They were frightened again, and fled into the wilderness, and came over into the Land of Zarahemla, and joined the people of Ammon;

Alma 21:116 And it came to pass that Amalickiah took the same servant that slew the king, and also they which were with him, And went in unto the queen, unto the place where she sat,

Alma 21:120 Yea, he was acknowledged king throughout all the land, among all the people of the Lamanites, Which were composed of the Lamanites and the Lemuelites and the Ishmaelites and all the dissenters of the Nephites, from the reign of Nephi down to the present time.

Alma 21:125 Yea, and all the people which were in the land, the Nephites as well as the Lamanites. Therefore, he had accomplished his design, For he had hardened the hearts of the Lamanites, and blinded their minds, and stirred them up to anger, Insomuch that he had gathered together a numerous host to go to battle against the Nephites; For he was determined because of the greatness of the number of his people to overpower the Nephites and to bring them into bondage.

Alma 21:135 Now the Nephites were taught to defend themselves against their enemies, even to the shedding of blood if it were necessary;

Alma 21:136 Yea, and they were also taught never to give an offense, Yea, and never to raise the sword, except it were against an enemy, except it were to preserve their lives.

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 21:140 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been and were and ever would be like unto Moroni, Behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever, Yea, the devil would never have any power over the hearts of the children of men;

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 21:143 And thus they went forth; And the people did humble themselves because of their words, insomuch that they were highly favored of the Lord. And thus they were free from wars and contentions among themselves, yea, even for the space of four years.

Alma 21:144 But, as I have said, in the latter end of the nineteenth year, notwithstanding their peace amongst themselves, They were compelled reluctantly to contend with their brethren the Lamanites;

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 21:147 Nevertheless, they could not suffer to lay down their lives, that their wives and their children should be massacred by the barbarous cruelty of those who were once their brethren, Yea, and had dissented from their church, And had left them and had gone to destroy them by joining the Lamanites;

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 21:149 And now it came to pass in the eleventh month of the nineteenth year, on the tenth day of the month, The armies of the Lamanites were seen approaching toward the Land of Ammonihah;

Alma 21:153 Now at this time the chief captains of the Lamanites were astonished exceedingly because of the wisdom of the Nephites in preparing their places of security.

Alma 21:157 But behold, to their uttermost astonishment, they were prepared for them in a manner which never had been known among all the children of Lehi.

Alma 21:158 Now they were prepared for the Lamanites, to battle after the manner of the instructions of Moroni.

Alma 21:159 And it came to pass that the Lamanites, or the Amalickiahites, were exceedingly astonished at their manner of preparation for war.

Alma 21:162 And behold, his chief captains durst not attack the Nephites at the City of Ammonihah, For Moroni had altered the management of affairs among the Nephites insomuch that the Lamanites were disappointed in their places of retreat, And they could not come upon them,

Alma 21:169 And now behold, it came to pass that when the Lamanites had found that Lehi commanded the city, They were again disappointed, for they feared Lehi exceedingly; Nevertheless, their chief captains had sworn with an oath to attack the city, Therefore, they brought up their armies.

Alma 21:170 Now behold, the Lamanites could not get into their forts of security by any other way, save by the entrance, Because of the highness of the bank which had been thrown up and the depth of the ditch which had been dug round about, save it were by the entrance.

Alma 21:171 And thus were the Nephites prepared to destroy all such as should attempt to climb up to enter the fort by any other way, by casting over stones and arrows at them;

Alma 21:172 Thus they were prepared - yea, a body of their most strong men with their swords and their slings - to smite down all who should attempt to come into their place of security by the place of entrance; And thus were they prepared to defend themselves against the Lamanites.

Alma 21:174 But behold, they were driven back, from time to time, insomuch that they were slain with an immense slaughter.

Alma 21:176 But behold, in these attempts, they were swept off by the stones and the arrows which were thrown at them, And instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth, they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.

Alma 21:177 Thus the Nephites had all power over their enemies. And thus the Lamanites did attempt to destroy the Nephites, until their chief captains were all slain;

Alma 21:178 Yea, and more than a thousand of the Lamanites were slain, While on the other hand there was not a single soul of the Nephites which were slain -

Alma 21:179 There were about fifty which were wounded, which had been exposed to the arrows of the Lamanites through the pass, But they were shielded by their shields and their breastplates and their headplates, insomuch that their wounds were upon their legs, many of which were very severe.

Alma 21:180 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that their chief captains were all slain, they fled into the wilderness.

Alma 22:3 And he caused that upon those works of timbers that there should be a frame of pickets built upon the timbers round about, And they were strong and high. And he caused towers to be erected that overlooked those works of pickets.

Alma 22:5 And they were prepared that they could cast stones from the top thereof, according to their pleasure and their strength, And slay him which should attempt to approach near the walls of the city.

Alma 22:7 And it came to pass that Moroni caused that his armies should go forth into the East Wilderness; Yea, and they went forth and drove all the Lamanites which were in the East Wilderness into their own lands, which were south of the Land of Zarahemla.

Alma 22:9 And it came to pass that when Moroni had driven all the Lamanites out of the East Wilderness, which was north of the lands of their own possessions, He caused that the inhabitants, which were in the Land of Zarahemla and in the land round about, should go forth into the East Wilderness, even to the borders by the seashore, and possess the land.

Alma 22:17 And in these prosperous circumstances were the people of Nephi, in the commencement of the twenty and first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi;

Alma 22:22 And we see that these promises have been verified to the people of Nephi; For it has been their quarrelings and their contentions - yea, their murderings and their plunderings, their idolatry, their whoredoms and their abominations which were among themselves - which brought upon them their wars and their destructions.

Alma 22:23 And those who were faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord were delivered at all times, Whilst thousands of their wicked brethren have been consigned to bondage, or to perish by the sword, or to dwindle in unbelief and mingle with the Lamanites.

Alma 22:26 And it came to pass that in the commencement of the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the judges, There would also have been peace among the people of Nephi had it not been for a contention which took place among them concerning the Land of Lehi and the Land of Morionton, which joined upon the borders of Lehi, Both of which were on the borders by the seashore.

Alma 22:27 For behold, the people which possessed the Land of Morionton did claim a part of the Land of Lehi; Therefore, there began to be a warm contention between them, insomuch that the people of Morionton took up arms against their brethren, And they were determined by the sword to slay them.

Alma 22:28 But behold, the people which possessed the Land of Lehi fled to the camp of Moroni and appealed unto him for assistance, For behold, they were not in the wrong.

Alma 22:29 And it came to pass that when the people of Morionton, which were led by a man whose name was Morionton, found that the people of Lehi had fled to the camp of Moroni, They were exceeding fearful lest the army of Moroni should come upon them and destroy them;

Alma 22:33 Now behold, the people which were in the Land Bountiful - Or rather, Moroni feared that they would hearken to the words of Morionton and unite with his people; And thus he would obtain possession of those parts of the land, which would lay a foundation for serious consequences among the people of Nephi, Yea, which consequences would lead to the overthrow of their liberty;

Alma 22:37 And so stubborn were the people of Morionton, being inspired by his wickedness and his flattering words, That a battle commenced between them in the which Teancum did slay Morionton and defeat his army and took them prisoners and returned to the camp of Moroni.

Alma 22:38 And thus ended the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi. And thus were the people of Morionton brought back.

Alma 22:39 And upon their covenanting to keep the peace, they were restored to the Land of Morionton, And a union took place between them and the people of Lehi; And they were also restored to their lands.

Alma 22:41 Nevertheless, he had refused Alma to take possession of those records and those things which were esteemed by Alma and his fathers to be most sacred; Therefore, Alma had conferred them upon his son Helaman.

Alma 23:2 Nevertheless, they did not long maintain an entire peace in the land, For there began to be a contention among the people concerning the chief judge Pahoron. For behold, there were a part of the people which desired that a few particular points of the law should be altered;

Alma 23:4 Therefore, those which were desirous that the law should be altered were angry with him and desired that he should no longer be chief judge over the land; Therefore, there arose a warm dispute concerning the matter, But not unto bloodshed.

Alma 23:5 And it came to pass that those who were desirous that Pahoron should be dethroned from the judgment seat were called Kingmen, For they were desirous that the law should be altered in a manner to overthrow the free government and to establish a king over the land;

Alma 23:6 And those who were desirous that Pahoron should remain chief judge over the land took upon them the name of Freemen; And thus was the division among them, For the Freemen had sworn or covenanted to maintain their rights and the privileges of their religion by a free government.

Alma 23:8 And it came to pass that the voice of the people came in the favor of the Freemen; And Pahoron retained the judgment seat which caused much rejoicing among the brethren of Pahoron, and also among the people of liberty, Which also put the Kingmen to silence, that they durst not oppose, but were obliged to maintain the cause of freedom.

Alma 23:9 Now those which were in favor of kings were those of high birth, And they sought to be kings; And they were supported by those which sought power and authority over the people.

Alma 23:12 Now his armies were not so great as they had hitherto been because of the many thousands which had been slain by the hand of the Nephites;

Alma 23:16 And it came to pass that when the men which were called Kingmen had heard that the Lamanites were coming down to battle against them, They were glad in their hearts and they refused to take up arms; For they were so wroth with the chief judge, and also with the people of liberty, that they would not take up arms to defend their country.

Alma 23:17 And it came to pass that when Moroni saw this, and also saw that the Lamanites were coming into the borders of the land, He was exceeding wroth because of the stubbornness of those people of whom he had labored with so much diligence to preserve; Yea, he was exceeding wroth; His soul was filled with anger against them.

Alma 23:22 And it came to pass that the armies did march forth against them; And they did pull down their pride and their nobility, insomuch that as they did lift their weapons of war to fight against the men of Moroni, They were hewn down and leveled to the earth.

Alma 23:23 And it came to pass that there were four thousand of those dissenters which were hewn down by the sword; And those of their leaders which were not slain in battle were taken and cast into prison, For there was no time for their trials at this period;

Alma 23:24 And the remainder of those dissenters, rather than to be smote down to the earth by the sword, Yielded to the standard of liberty and were compelled to hoist the title of liberty upon their towers and in their cities and to take up arms in defense of their country.

Alma 23:25 And thus Moroni put an end to those Kingmen, that there were not any known by the appellation of Kingmen; And thus he put an end to the stubbornness and the pride of those people which professed the blood of nobility;

Alma 23:26 But they were brought down to humble themselves, like unto their brethren, and to fight valiantly for their freedom from bondage.

Alma 23:28 And it came to pass that the Nephites were not sufficiently strong in the City of Moroni; Therefore, Amalickiah did drive them, slaying many.

Alma 23:30 And those which fled out of the City of Moroni came to the City of Nephihah; And also the people of the City of Lehi gathered themselves together and made preparations and were ready to receive the Lamanites to battle.

Alma 23:32 And thus he went on, Taking possession of many cities - the City of Nephihah, and the City of Lehi, and the City of Morionton, and the City of Omner, and the City of Gid, and the City of Mulek - All of which were on the east borders by the seashore.

Alma 23:33 And thus had the Lamanites obtained, by the cunning of Amalickiah, so many cities by their numberless hosts, All of which were strongly fortified after the manner of the fortifications of Moroni, All of which afforded strongholds for the Lamanites.

Alma 23:35 But it came to pass that they were met by Teancum, who had slain Morionton and had headed his people in his flight.

Alma 23:37 But behold, he met with a disappointment by being repulsed by Teancum and his men, for they were great warriors; For every man of Teancum did exceed the Lamanites in their strength and in their skill of war, Insomuch that they did gain advantage over the Lamanites.

Alma 23:39 And it came to pass that Teancum and his men did pitch their tents in the borders of the Land Bountiful; And Amalickiah did pitch his tents in the borders on the beach by the seashore. And after this manner were they driven.

Alma 23:42 And he returned again privily to his own camp, And behold, his men were asleep; And he awoke them and told them all the things that he had done.

Alma 24:2 And now when the Lamanites saw this, they were affrighted, And they abandoned their design in marching into the Land Northward and retreated with all their army into the City of Mulek and sought protection in their fortifications.

Alma 24:5 And now Teancum saw that the Lamanites were determined to maintain those cities which they had taken and those parts of the land which they had obtained possession of;

Alma 24:15 And thus he was endeavoring to harass the Nephites and to draw away a part of their forces to that part of the land, While he had commanded those which he had left to possess the cities which he had taken, that they should also harass the Nephites on the borders by the East Sea, And should take possession of their lands as much as it were in their power, according to the power of their armies.

Alma 24:16 And thus were the Nephites in those dangerous circumstances in the ending of the twentieth and sixth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.

Alma 24:18 And it came to pass that Teancum had received orders to make an attack upon the City of Mulek and retake it if it were possible.

Alma 24:19 And it came to pass that Teancum made preparations to make an attack upon the City of Mulek and march forth with his army against the Lamanites; But he saw that it was impossible that he could overpower them while they were in their fortifications;

Alma 24:32 And while Teancum was thus leading away the Lamanites which were pursuing them in vain, Behold, Moroni commanded that a part of his army which were with him should march forth into the city and take possession of it.

Alma 24:35 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did pursue Teancum until they came near the City Bountiful; And then they were met by Lehi and a small army which had been left to protect the City Bountiful.

Alma 24:36 And now behold, when the chief captains of the Lamanites had beheld Lehi with his army coming against them, they fled in much confusion, Lest perhaps they should not obtain the City Mulek before Lehi should overtake them, For they were wearied because of their march and the men of Lehi were fresh.

Alma 24:39 And it came to pass that before the Lamanites had retreated far, they were surrounded by the Nephites - by the men of Moroni on one hand and the men of Lehi on the other, all of whom were fresh and full of strength; But the Lamanites were wearied because of their long march,

Alma 24:43 But behold, Moroni and his men were more powerful, Therefore, they did not give way before the Lamanites.

Alma 24:44 And it came to pass that they fought on both hands with exceeding fury; And there were many slain on both sides, Yea, and Moroni was wounded and Jacob was killed;

Alma 24:47 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites had heard these words, Their chief captains - all those which were not slain - came forth and threw down their weapons of war at the feet of Moroni, And also commanded their men that they should do the same.

Alma 24:48 But behold, there were many that would not; And those who would not deliver up their swords were taken and bound and their weapons of war were taken from them, And they were compelled to march with their brethren forth into the Land Bountiful;

Alma 24:49 And now the number of prisoners which were taken exceeded more than the number of those which had been slain, yea, more than those which had been slain on both sides.

Alma 24:50 And it came to pass that they did set guards over the prisoners of the Lamanites, And did compel them to go forth and bury their dead, yea, and also the dead of the Nephites which were slain; And Moroni placed men over them to guard them while they should perform their labors.

Alma 24:52 Now behold, this Lehi was a man who had been with Moroni in the more part of all his battles and he was a man like unto Moroni; And they rejoiced in each other's safety, Yea, they were beloved by each other, and also beloved by all the people of Nephi.

Alma 24:53 And it came to pass that after the Lamanites had finished burying their dead, and also the dead of the Nephites, They were marched back into the Land Bountiful.

Alma 24:62 And thus because of iniquity amongst themselves, yea, because of dissensions and intrigue among themselves, they were placed in the most dangerous circumstances.

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 24:66 And for this cause, they were brought down into the Land of Zarahemla, And they ever had been protected by the Nephites.

Alma 24:67 But it came to pass that when they saw the danger and the many afflictions and tribulations which the Nephites bore for them, They were moved with compassion and were desirous to take up arms in the defense of their country;

Alma 24:68 But behold, as they were about to take their weapons of war, They were overpowered by the persuasions of Helaman and his brethren, for they were about to break the oath which they had made;

Alma 24:69 And Helaman feared lest by so doing, they should lose their souls; Therefore, all those which had entered into this covenant were compelled to behold their brethren wade through their afflictions in their dangerous circumstances at this time.

Alma 24:71 Therefore, they did assemble themselves together at this time as many as were able to take up arms, And they called themselves Nephites;

Alma 24:74 Now behold, there were two thousand of those young men which entered into this covenant and took their weapons of war to defend their country.

Alma 24:76 And they were all young men, And they were exceeding valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; But behold, this was not all - They were men which were true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted,

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 25:2 And it came to pass that Moroni felt to rejoice exceedingly at this request; For he desired the provisions which were imparted for the support of the Lamanite prisoners for the support of his own people, And he also desired his own people for the strengthening of his army.

Alma 25:4 Therefore, Moroni resolved upon a stratagem to obtain as many prisoners of the Nephites from the Lamanites as it were possible; Therefore, he wrote an epistle and sent it by the servant of Ammaron, the same who had brought an epistle to Moroni.

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 25:32 Now Moroni caused that Laman and a small number of his men should go forth unto the guards which were over the Nephites;

Alma 25:33 Now the Nephites were guarded in the City of Gid; Therefore, Moroni caused that Laman and a small number of men, which was appointed, to go with him.

Alma 25:34 And it came to pass that when it was evening, Laman went to the guards which were over the Nephites, And behold, they saw him coming and they hailed him;

Alma 25:40 And it came to pass they did drink and were merry; And by and by they were all drunken.

Alma 25:41 And now when Laman and his men saw that they were all drunken and were in a deep sleep, they returned to Moroni and told him all the things that had happened; And now this was according to the design of Moroni.

Alma 25:42 And Moroni had prepared his men with weapons of war; And he went to the City Gid while the Lamanites were in a deep sleep and drunken, And cast in the weapons of war in unto the prisoners, insomuch that they were all armed, Yea, even to their women and all those of their children - as many as were able to use a weapon of war - when Moroni had armed all those prisoners;

Alma 25:43 And all those things were done in a profound silence; But had they awakened the Lamanites, Behold, they were drunken and the Nephites could have slain them.

Alma 25:45 But he had obtained his desire, for he had armed those prisoners of the Nephites which were within the walls of the city, And had given them power to gain possession of those parts which were within the walls;

Alma 25:46 And then he caused the men which were with him to withdraw a pace from them and surround the armies of the Lamanites;

Alma 25:47 Now behold, this was done in the nighttime so that when the Lamanites awoke in the morning, they beheld that they were surrounded by the Nephites without and that their prisoners were armed within.

Alma 25:50 He took them prisoners of war and took possession of the city, And caused that all the prisoners should be liberated, which were Nephites; And they did join the army of Moroni and were a great strength to his army.

Alma 25:58 But behold, the Nephites were not slow to remember the Lord their God in this, their times of affliction;

Alma 25:60 And they were thus cautious that no poison should be administered among them; For if their wine would poison a Lamanite, it would also poison a Nephite; And thus they did try all their liquors.

Alma 25:62 For behold, the Lamanites had by their labors fortified the City Morionton until it had become an exceeding stronghold; And they were continually bringing new forces into that city, and also new supplies of provisions.

Alma 26:4 Now ye have known that these were a descendant of Laman which was the eldest son of our father Lehi -

Alma 26:7 But in the twenty and sixth year, when they saw our afflictions and our tribulations for them, they were about to break the covenant which they had made and take up their weapons of war in our defense;

Alma 26:17 Yea, and they were depressed in body as well as in spirit, For they had fought valiantly by day and toiled by night to maintain their cities; And thus they had suffered great afflictions of every kind.

Alma 26:18 "And now they were determined to conquer in this place, or die; Therefore, you may well suppose that the little force which I brought with me, yea, those sons of mine, gave them great hopes and much joy.

Alma 26:19 "And now it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that Antipus had received a greater strength to his army, They were compelled, by the orders of Ammaron, to not come against the City of Judeah, or against us to battle.

Alma 26:20 "And thus were we favored of the Lord, For had they come upon us in this our weakness, they might have perhaps destroyed our little army; But thus were we favored -

Alma 26:21 They were commanded by Ammaron to maintain those cities which they had taken."And thus ended the twenty and sixth year.

Alma 26:23 Now we were desirous that the Lamanites should come upon us, For we were not desirous to make an attack upon them in their stronghold.

Alma 26:24 "And it came to pass that we kept spies out round about to watch the movements of the Lamanites, That they might not pass us by night nor by day to make an attack upon our other cities which were on the northward;

Alma 26:25 For we knew in those cities they were not sufficiently strong to meet them; Therefore, we were desirous - if they should pass by us - to fall upon them in their rear, And thus bring them up in the rear at the same time they were met in the front;

Alma 26:26 We supposed that we could overpower them. "But behold, we were disappointed in this our desire -

Alma 26:29 And thus, with their forces, they were determined to maintain those cities which they had taken.

Alma 26:31 And also there were sent unto us two thousand men from the Land of Zarahemla;

Alma 26:32 And thus we were prepared with ten thousand men and provisions for them, And also for their wives and their children.

Alma 26:33 "And the Lamanites, thus seeing our forces increase daily and provisions arrive for our support, They began to be fearful and began to sally forth, if it were possible to put an end to our receiving provisions and strength.

Alma 26:34 "Now when we saw that the Lamanites began to grow uneasy on this wise, we were desirous to bring a stratagem into an effect upon them;

Alma 26:35 Therefore, Antipus ordered that I should march forth with my little sons to a neighboring city, as if we were carrying provisions to a neighboring city;

Alma 26:36 And we were to march near the City Antiparah, as if we were going to the city beyond, in the borders by the seashore.

Alma 26:40 And now in the City Antiparah, were stationed the strongest army of the Lamanites, yea, the most numerous.

Alma 26:47 "And it came to pass that before the dawn of the morning, behold, the Lamanites were pursuing us;

Alma 26:48 Now we were not sufficiently strong to contend with them; Yea, I would not suffer that my little sons should fall into their hands; Therefore, we did continue our march and we took our march into the wilderness.

Alma 26:52 "And now whether they were overtaken by Antipus, we knew not; But I said unto my men: 'Behold, we know not but they have halted for the purpose that we should come against them, that they might catch us in their snare; Therefore, what say ye, my sons? Will ye go against them to battle?'

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 26:60 The army of Antipus, being weary because of their long march in so short a space of time, were about to fall into the hands of the Lamanites; And had I not returned with my two thousand, they would have obtained their purpose,

Alma 26:62 "And it came to pass that the Lamanites took courage and began to pursue them; And thus were the Lamanites pursuing them with great vigor when Helaman came upon their rear with his two thousand and began to slay them exceedingly, Insomuch that the whole army of the Lamanites halted and turned upon Helaman.

Alma 26:64 "And now it came to pass that we - the people of Nephi, the people of Antipus and I with my two thousand - did surround the Lamanites and did slay them, Yea, insomuch that they were compelled to deliver up their weapons of war, and also themselves as prisoners of war.

Alma 26:65 "And now it came to pass that when they had surrendered themselves up unto us, Behold, I numbered those young men which had fought with me, fearing lest there were many of them slain;

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 26:68 "And as we had no place for our prisoners that we could guard them to keep them from the armies of the Lamanites, Therefore, we sent them to the Land of Zarahemla - and a part of those men which were not slain of Antipus with them -

Alma 26:71 "But I sent an epistle unto the king that we were sure our forces were sufficient to take the City of Antiparah by our force; And by delivering up the prisoners for that city, we should suppose ourselves unwise, And that we would only deliver up our prisoners on exchange.

Alma 26:76 "And now behold, we were strong; Yea, and we had also a plenty of provisions brought to us.

Alma 26:78 "And now behold, I will show unto you that we soon accomplished our desire; Yea, with our strong force, or with a part of our strong force, we did surround by night the City Cumeni a little before they were to receive a supply of provisions.

Alma 26:80 "At length their provisions did arrive, And they were about to enter the city by night;

Alma 26:81 And we, instead of being Lamanites, were Nephites, therefore, we did take them and their provisions;

Alma 26:82 And notwithstanding the Lamanites being cut off from their support, after this manner, they were still determined to maintain the city;

Alma 26:85 "But it came to pass that our prisoners were so numerous that, notwithstanding the enormity of our number, We were obliged to employ all our force to keep them or put them to death.

Alma 26:88 And also our provisions were not any more than sufficient for our own people, Notwithstanding that which we had taken from the Lamanites.

Alma 26:91 And now behold, we did not inquire of them concerning the prisoners, For behold, the Lamanites were upon us, And they returned in season to save us from falling into their hands;

Alma 26:93 And it came to pass that those men which we sent with the prisoners did arrive in season to check them as they were about to overpower us.

Alma 26:94 "But behold, my little band of two thousand and sixty fought most desperately, Yea, they were firm before the Lamanites and did administer death unto all those who opposed them;

Alma 26:95 And as the remainder of our army were about to give way before the Lamanites, Behold, these two thousand and sixty were firm and undaunted, Yea, and they did obey and observe to perform every word of command with exactness,

Alma 26:97 "And now behold, it was these - my sons and those men which had been selected to convey the prisoners - to whom we owe this great victory, For it was they who did beat the Lamanites; Therefore, they were driven back to the City of Manti,

Alma 26:98 And we retained our City Cumeni and were not all destroyed by the sword; Nevertheless, we had suffered great loss.

Alma 26:100 "And it came to pass that there were two hundred out of my two thousand and sixty which had fainted because of the loss of blood;

Alma 26:102 And now, their preservation was astonishing to our whole army, Yea, that they should be spared while there was a thousand of our brethren which were slain.

Alma 26:105 "And now it came to pass that after we had thus taken care of our wounded men and had buried our dead, and also the dead of the Lamanites, which were many, Behold, we did inquire of Gid concerning the prisoners which they had started to go down to the Land of Zarahemla with;

Alma 26:112 'And it came to pass that they did, in a body, run upon our swords, in the which the greater number of them were slain, And the remainder of them broke through and fled from us.

Alma 26:120 And they were so exceeding more numerous than was our army that we durst not go forth and attack them in their strongholds.

Alma 26:125 But behold, this did not profit us but little, For the Lamanites were also receiving great strength from day to day, and also many provisions. "And thus were our circumstances at this period of time.

Alma 26:126 "And the Lamanites were sallying forth against us from time to time, resolving by stratagem to destroy us; Nevertheless, we could not come to battle with them, because of their retreats and their strongholds.

Alma 26:127 "And it came to pass that we did wait in these difficult circumstances for the space of many months, even until we were about to perish for the want of food.

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 26:133 And we did take courage with our small force which we had received, And were fixed with a determination to conquer our enemies and to maintain our lands and our possessions and our wives and our children and the cause of our liberty.

Alma 26:134 "And thus we did go forth with all our might against the Lamanites which were in the City of Manti; And we did pitch our tents by the wilderness side, which was near to the city.

Alma 26:135 "And it came to pass on the morrow that when the Lamanites saw that we were in the borders by the wilderness, which was near the city, That they sent out their spies round about us that they might discover the number and the strength of our army.

Alma 26:136 "And it came to pass that when they saw that we were not strong, according to our numbers, And fearing that we should cut them off from their support, except they should come out to battle against us and kill us,

Alma 26:138 "And when we saw that they were making preparations to come out against us, Behold, I caused that Gid, with a small number of men, should secrete himself in the wilderness, And also that Teomner should with a small number of men secrete themselves also in the wilderness.

Alma 26:139 "Now Gid and his men were on the right and the others on the left; And when they had thus secreted themselves, behold, I remained with the remainder of my army in that same place where we had first pitched our tents, Against the time that the Lamanites should come out to battle.

Alma 26:141 And when they had come and were about to fall upon us with the sword, I caused that my men, those which were with me, should retreat into the wilderness.

Alma 26:142 "And it came to pass that the Lamanites did follow after us with great speed, For they were exceedingly desirous to overtake us that they might slay us; Therefore, they did follow us into the wilderness;

Alma 26:143 And we did pass by in the midst of Gid and Teomner insomuch that they were not discovered by the Lamanites.

Alma 26:145 "And it came to pass that when they had cut them off, They ran to the city and fell upon the guards which were left to guard the city, insomuch that they did destroy them and did take possession of the city.

Alma 26:149 And when the Lamanites saw that they were marching toward the Land of Zarahemla, They were exceeding fraid, lest there was a plan laid to lead them on to destruction; Therefore, they began to retreat into the wilderness again, yea, even back by the same way which they had come.

Alma 26:150 "And behold, it was night and they did pitch their tents; For the chief captains of the Lamanites supposing that the Nephites were weary because of their march, And supposing that they had driven their whole army, Therefore, they took no thought concerning the City of Manti.

Alma 26:152 And because of this our march in the nighttime, behold, on the morrow, we were beyond the Lamanites, insomuch that we did arrive before them to the City of Manti.

Alma 26:154 "And it came to pass that when the armies of the Lamanites did arrive near the city and saw that we were prepared to meet them, They were astonished exceedingly and struck with great fear, insomuch that they did flee into the wilderness.

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 27:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, after Moroni had received and had read Helaman's epistle, He was exceedingly rejoiced because of the welfare, yea, the exceeding success which Helaman had had in obtaining those lands which were lost;

Alma 27:5 And it came to pass that while Moroni was thus making preparations to go against the Lamanites to battle, Behold, the people of Nephihah which were gathered together from the City of Moroni and the City of Lehi and the City of Morionton were attacked by the Lamanites.

Alma 27:8 And their armies were so numerous that the remainder of the people of Nephihah were obliged to flee before them; And they came even and joined the army of Moroni.

Alma 27:17 "But behold, were this all we had suffered, we would not murmur nor complain; But behold, great has been the slaughter among our people -

Alma 27:24 Yea, and this they have done when they were about to perish with hunger because of your exceeding great neglect toward them.

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 27:31 "For were it not for the wickedness which first commenced at our head, We could have withstood our enemies, that they could have gained no power over us - "Yea, had it not been for the war which broke out among ourselves -

Alma 27:32 "Yea, were it not for those Kingmen which caused so much bloodshed among ourselves - "Yea, at the time we were contending among ourselves, if we had united our strength as we hitherto have done -

Alma 28:6 "And behold, they have driven me out before them, And I have fled to the Land of Gideon with as many men as it were possible that I could get.

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 29:8 And behold, Pachus was slain and his men were taken prisoners; And Pahoron was restored to his judgment seat.

Alma 29:9 And the men of Pachus received their trial according to the law, and also those Kingmen which had been taken and cast into prison; And they were executed according to the law -

Alma 29:10 Yea, those men of Pachus and those Kingmen - whosoever would not take up arms in the defense of their country, but would fight against it - were put to death.

Alma 29:12 And thus ended the thirtieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, Moroni and Pahoron having restored peace to the Land of Zarahemla among their own people, Having inflicted death upon all those who were not true to the cause of freedom.

Alma 29:17 And it came to pass that as they were marching toward the land, They took a large body of men of the Lamanites and slew many of them, And took their provisions and their weapons of war.

Alma 29:19 And when they had entered into this covenant, they sent them to dwell with the people of Ammon; And they were in number about four thousand which had not been slain.

Alma 29:24 And it came to pass that they were on the east by the entrance, And they were all asleep.

Alma 29:27 And it came to pass that they were all let down into the city by night, by the means of their strong cords and their ladders; Thus when the morning came, they were all within the walls of the city.

Alma 29:28 And now when the Lamanites awoke and saw that the armies of Moroni were within the walls, They were affrightened exceedingly, insomuch that they did flee out by the pass.

Alma 29:29 And now when Moroni saw that they were fleeing before him, He did cause that his men should march forth against them and slew many and surrounded many others and took them prisoners; And the remainder of them fled into the Land of Moroni, which was in the borders by the seashore.

Alma 29:30 Thus had Moroni and Pahoron obtained the possession of the City of Nephihah without the loss of one soul; And there were many of the Lamanites which were slain.

Alma 29:31 Now it came to pass that as many of the Lamanites that were prisoners were desirous to join the people of Ammon and become a free people.

Alma 29:32 And it came to pass that as many as were desirous, unto them it was granted, according to their desires; Therefore, all the prisoners of the Lamanites did join the people of Ammon, And did begin to labor exceedingly, tilling the ground, raising all manner of grain and flocks and herds of every kind;

Alma 29:33 And thus were the Nephites relieved from a great burden, Yea, insomuch that they were relieved from all the prisoners of the Lamanites.

Alma 29:35 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that Moroni was a coming against them, They were again frightened and fled before the army of Moroni.

Alma 29:36 And it came to pass that Moroni and his army did pursue them from city to city, until they were met by Lehi and Teancum; And the Lamanites fled from Lehi and Teancum, even down upon the borders by the seashore, until they came to the Land of Moroni.

Alma 29:37 And the armies of the Lamanites were all gathered together, insomuch that they were all in one body in the Land of Moroni;

Alma 29:39 And it came to pass that Moroni and Lehi and Teancum did encamp with their armies round about in the borders of the Land of Moroni, Insomuch that the Lamanites were encircled about in the borders by the wilderness on the south, And in the borders by the wilderness on the east; And thus they did encamp for the night.

Alma 29:40 For behold, the Nephites and the Lamanites also were weary because of the greatness of the march; Therefore, they did not resolve upon any stratagem in the nighttime, save it were Teancum;

Alma 29:45 Now it came to pass that when Lehi and Moroni knew that Teancum was dead, they were exceeding sorrowful; For behold, he had been a man which had fought valiantly for his country, yea, a true friend to liberty, And he had suffered very many exceeding sore afflictions;

Alma 29:49 And there had been murders and contentions and dissensions and all manner of iniquity among the people of Nephi; Nevertheless, for the righteous' sake, yea, because of the prayers of the righteous, they were spared.

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 29:52 And it came to pass that after Moroni had fortified those parts of the land which were most exposed to the Lamanites until they were sufficiently strong, he returned to the City of Zarahemla, And also Helaman returned to the place of his inheritance; And there was once more peace established among the people of Nephi.

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 29:57 And their judges and their chief judges were chosen;

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 29:62 And it came to pass that all these things were done.

Alma 30:7 And behold, there were many of the Nephites which did enter therein and did sail forth with much provisions, and also many women and children; And they took their course northward;

Alma 30:11 And it came to pass that they were never heard of more, And we suppose that they are drowned up in the depths of the sea.

Alma 30:13 And it came to pass that in this year, there were many people which went forth into the Land Northward; And thus ended the thirty and eighth year.

Alma 30:16 Now behold, all those engravings which were in the possession of Helaman were written and sent forth among the children of men throughout all the land, save it were those parts which had been commanded by Alma should not go forth.

Alma 30:17 Nevertheless, these things were to be kept sacred and handed down from one generation to another; Therefore, in this year they had been conferred upon Helaman before the death of Shiblon.

Alma 30:18 And it came to pass also in this year that there were some dissenters which had gone forth unto the Lamanites; And they were stirred up again to anger against the Nephites.

Alma 30:19 And also in this same year, they came down with a numerous army to war against the people of Moronihah, or against the army of Moronihah, In the which they were beaten and driven back again to their own lands, suffering great loss.

Helaman 1:2 For behold, Pahoron had died and gone the way of all the earth; Therefore, there began to be a serious contention concerning who should have the judgment seat among the brethren which were the sons of Pahoron.

Helaman 1:7 But behold, Paanchi, and that part of the people that were desirous that he should be their governor, was exceeding wroth; Therefore, he was about to flatter away those people to rise up in rebellion against their brethren.

Helaman 1:9 Now when those people which were desirous that he should be their governor saw that he was condemned unto death, Therefore, they were angry. And behold, they sent forth one, Kishcumen, even to the judgment seat of Pahoron, And murdered Pahoron as he sat upon the judgment seat;

Helaman 1:12 And Kishcumen and his band which had covenanted with him did mingle themselves among the people in a manner that they all could not be found; But as many as were found were condemned unto death.

Helaman 1:16 And they were led by a man whose name was Coriantumr, And he was a descendant of Zarahemla, And he was a dissenter from among the Nephites, And he was a large and a mighty man.

Helaman 1:24 And now when Coriantumr saw that he was in possession of the City of Zarahemla, And saw that the Nephites had fled before them and were slain, And were taken and were cast into prison, And that he had obtained the possession of the strongest hold in all the land, His heart took courage, insomuch that he was about to go forth against all the land.

Helaman 1:26 And supposing that their greatest strength was in the center of the land, Therefore, he did march forth, giving them no time to assemble themselves together, save it were in small bodies; And in this manner they did fall upon them and cut them down to the earth.

Helaman 1:27 But behold, this march of Coriantumr through the center of the land gave Moronihah great advantage over them, Notwithstanding the greatness of the number of the Nephites which were slain;

Helaman 1:29 But behold, the Lamanites were not frightened according to his desire; But they had come into the center of the land and had taken the capital city, which was the City of Zarahemla, And were marching through the most capital parts of the land, Slaying the people with a great slaughter - both men, women and children - Taking possession of many cities and of many strongholds.

Helaman 1:32 And it came to pass that Moronihah did head them in their retreat and did give unto them battle, Insomuch that it became an exceeding bloody battle; Yea, many were slain; And among the number which were slain, Coriantumr was also found.

Helaman 1:33 And now behold, the Lamanites could not retreat either way - neither on the north, nor on the south, nor on the east, nor on the west - For they were surrounded on every hand by the Nephites.

Helaman 1:34 And thus had Coriantumr plunged the Lamanites into the midst of the Nephites, Insomuch that they were in the power of the Nephites; And he himself was slain, And the Lamanites did yield themselves up into the hands of the Nephites.

Helaman 1:45 Now this did please Kishcumen exceedingly, For he did suppose that he should accomplish his design; But behold, the servant of Helaman, as they were going forth unto the judgment seat, did stab Kishcumen, even to the heart, that he fell dead without a groan;

Helaman 2:1 And now it came to pass in the forty and third year of the reign of the judges, There was no contention among the people of Nephi, save it were a little pride which was in the church, Which did cause some little dissensions among the people, Which affairs were settled in the ending of the forty and third year.

Helaman 2:3 And it came to pass in the forty and sixth year, there were much contentions and many dissensions, In the which there were an exceeding great many which departed out of the Land of Zarahemla and went forth unto the Land Northward to inherit the land.

Helaman 2:6 And now no part of the land was desolate, save it were for timber, etc.; But because of the greatness of the destruction of the people which had before inhabited the land, It was called desolate.

Helaman 2:9 And the people which were in the Land Northward did dwell in tents and in houses of cement, And they did suffer whatsoever tree should spring up upon the face of the land, that it should grow up, That in time they might have timber to build their houses, yea, their cities and their temples and their synagogues and their sanctuaries and all manner of their buildings.

Helaman 2:11 And it came to pass that there were many of the people of Ammon which were Lamanites by birth did also go forth into this land.

Helaman 2:21 And it came to pass in the forty and ninth year of the reign of the judges, there was continual peace established in the land - All, save it were the secret combinations which Gaddianton the robber had established in the more settled parts of the land, Which at that time were not known unto those which were at the head of government; Therefore, they were not destroyed out of the land.

Helaman 2:22 And it came to pass that in this same year, there was exceeding great prosperity in the church, Insomuch that there were thousands who did join themselves unto the church and were baptized unto repentance;

Helaman 2:23 And so great was the prosperity of the church, And so many the blessings which were poured out upon the people, That even the high priests and the teachers were themselves astonished beyond measure.

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 2:32 And it came to pass that the fifty and second year ended in peace also, Save it were the exceeding great pride which had got into the hearts of the people; And it was because of their exceeding great riches and their prosperity in the land; And it did grow upon them from day to day.

Helaman 2:35 And it came to pass in the fifty and fourth year, there were many dissensions in the church, And there was also a contention among the people, insomuch that there was much bloodshed; And the rebellious part were slain and driven out of the land, And they did go unto the king of the Lamanites.

Helaman 2:36 And it came to pass that they did endeavor to stir up the Lamanites to war against the Nephites; But behold, the Lamanites were exceeding fraid, insomuch that they would not hearken to the words of those dissenters.

Helaman 2:37 But it came to pass in the fifty and sixth year of the reign of the judges, there were dissenters which went up from the Nephites unto the Lamanites; And they succeeded with those others in stirring them up to anger against the Nephites; And they were all that year preparing for war.

Helaman 2:39 And the Nephites and the armies of Moronihah were driven even into the Land of Bountiful; And there they did fortify against the Lamanites from the West Sea even unto the east - It being a day's journey for a Nephite on the line which they had fortified - And stationed their armies to defend their North Country.

Helaman 2:46 And because of this, their great wickedness and their boastings in their own strength, they were left in their own strength; Therefore, they did not prosper, But were afflicted and smitten and driven before the Lamanites, until they had lost possession of almost all their lands.

Helaman 2:47 But behold, Moronihah did preach many things unto the people because of their iniquity, And also Nephi and Lehi, which were the sons of Helaman, did preach many things unto the people,

Helaman 2:53 Therefore, they did abandon their design to obtain the remainder of their lands, For so numerous were the Lamanites that it became impossible for the Nephites to obtain more power over them; Therefore, Moronihah did employ all his armies in maintaining those parts which he had taken.

Helaman 2:54 And it came to pass because of the greatness of the number of the Lamanites, the Nephites were in great fear lest they should be overpowered and trodden down and slain and destroyed;

Helaman 2:57 And thus seeing that their laws had become corrupted and that they had become a wicked people, Insomuch that they were wicked even like unto the Lamanites,

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 2:64 For as their laws and their governments were established by the voice of the people, And they which chose evil were more numerous than they which chose good, Therefore, they were ripening for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted.

Helaman 2:65 Yea, and this was not all - They were a stiff - necked people, Insomuch that they could not be governed by the law nor justice, save it were to their destruction.

Helaman 2:68 "Behold, I have given unto you the names of our first parents which came out of the Land of Jerusalem; And this I have done that when you remember your names, that ye may remember them; And when ye remember them, ye may remember their works; And when ye remember their works, ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they were good.

Helaman 2:76 And it came to pass that these were the words which Helaman taught to his sons; Yea, he did teach them many things which are not written, and also many things which are written.

Helaman 2:78 And even from one city to another until they had gone forth among all the people of Nephi which were in the Land Southward; And from thence into the Land of Zarahemla, among the Lamanites.

Helaman 2:79 And it came to pass that they did preach with great power, Insomuch that they did confound many of those dissenters which had gone over from the Nephites, Insomuch that they came forth and did confess their sins and were baptized unto repentance, And immediately returned to the Nephites to endeavor to repair unto them the wrongs which they had done.

Helaman 2:81 Therefore, they did speak unto the great astonishment of the Lamanites to the convincing them, Insomuch that there were eight thousand of the Lamanites which were in the Land of Zarahemla and round about baptized unto repentance, And were convinced of the wickedness of the traditions of their fathers.

Helaman 2:83 And it came to pass that they were taken by an army of the Lamanites and cast into prison; Yea, even in that same prison in which Ammon and his brethren were cast by the servants of Limhi;

Helaman 2:85 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi were encircled about as if by fire, Even insomuch that they durst not lay their hands upon them for fear, lest they should be burned.

Helaman 2:86 Nevertheless, Nephi and Lehi were not burned, And they were as standing in the midst of fire and were not burned;

Helaman 2:87 And when they saw that they were encircled about with a pillar of fire and that it burned them not, Their hearts did take courage;

Helaman 2:88 For they saw that the Lamanites durst not lay their hands upon them; Neither durst they come near unto them, but stood as if they were struck dumb with amazement.

Helaman 2:90 And behold, when they had said these words, the earth shook exceedingly, And the walls of the prison did shake, as if they were about to tumble to the earth; But behold, they did not fall.

Helaman 2:91 And behold, they that were in the prison were Lamanites and Nephites which were dissenters.

Helaman 2:92 And it came to pass that they were overshadowed with a cloud of darkness, And an awful, solemn fear came upon them.

Helaman 2:93 And it came to pass that there came a voice as if it were above the cloud of darkness, saying: "Repent ye, repent ye! And seek no more to destroy My servants which I have sent unto you to declare good tidings!"

Helaman 2:95 And notwithstanding the mildness of the voice, Behold, the earth shook exceedingly, And the walls of the prison trembled again as if it were about to tumble to the earth; And behold, the cloud of darkness which had overshadowed them did not disperse.

Helaman 2:97 And it came to pass that the earth shook again and the walls trembled; And also again the third time the voice came and did speak unto them marvelous words which cannot be uttered by man; And the walls did tremble again and the earth shook as if it were about to divide asunder.

Helaman 2:98 And it came to pass that the Lamanites could not flee because of the cloud of darkness which did overshadow them; Yea, and also they were immovable because of the fear which did come upon them.

Helaman 2:101 And he beheld that they did lift their eyes to heaven; And they were in the attitude as if talking or lifting their voices to some Being which they beheld.

Helaman 2:109 And it came to pass that when they cast their eyes about and saw that the cloud of darkness was dispersed from overshadowing them, And behold, they saw that they were encircled about, yea, every soul, by a pillar of fire;

Helaman 2:110 And Nephi and Lehi were in the midst of them - Yea, they were encircled about, Yea, they were as if in the midst of a flaming fire, yet it did harm them not, Neither did it take hold upon the walls of the prison - And they were filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory;

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 2:112 And it came to pass that there came a voice unto them, yea, a pleasant voice, as if it were a whisper, saying: "Peace, peace be unto you because of your faith in My Well-Beloved which was from the foundation of the world."

Helaman 2:114 And there were about three hundred souls which saw and heard these things; And they were bid to go forth and marvel not, neither should they doubt.

Helaman 2:115 And it came to pass that they did go forth and did minister unto the people, Declaring throughout all the regions round about all the things which they had heard and seen, Insomuch that the more part of the Lamanites were convinced of them because of the greatness of the evidences which they had received;

Helaman 2:116 And as many as were convinced did lay down their weapons of war, and also their hatred, and the tradition of their fathers.

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 2:127 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did also go whithersoever they would, Whether it were among the Lamanites or among the Nephites; And thus they did have free intercourse one with another for to buy and to sell and to get gain, according to their desire.

Helaman 2:130 And behold, there was all manner of gold in both these lands, and of silver and of precious ore of every kind; And there were also curious workmen which did work all kinds of ore and did refine it; And thus they did become rich.

Helaman 2:141 And now behold, those murderers and plunderers were a band which had been formed by Kishcumen and Gaddianton.

Helaman 2:142 And now it had come to pass that there were many, even among the Nephites, of Gaddianton's band; But behold, they were more numerous among the more wicked part of the Lamanites;

Helaman 2:143 And they were called Gaddianton's robbers and murderers; And it was they which did murder the chief judge Cezoram and his son while in the judgment seat; And behold, they were not found.

Helaman 2:144 And now it came to pass that when the Lamanites found that there were robbers among them, They were exceeding sorrowful; And they did use every means whatsoever was in their power to destroy them off the face of the earth.

Helaman 2:150 Now behold, those secret oaths and covenants did not come forth unto Gaddianton from the records which were delivered unto Helaman;

Helaman 2:151 But behold, they were put into the heart of Gaddianton by that same being who did entice our first parents to partake of the forbidden fruit - Yea, that same being who did plot with Cain, that if he would murder his brother Abel, it should not be known unto the world;

Helaman 2:167 And thus we see that they were in an awful state and ripening for an everlasting destruction.

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 3:7 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 3:32 And now it came to pass that when Nephi had said these words, Behold, there were men which were judges, which also belonged to the secret band of Gaddianton, And they were angry;

Helaman 3:36 And those judges were angry with him because he spake plain unto them concerning their secret works of darkness; Nevertheless, they durst not lay their own hands upon him, For they feared the people, lest they should cry out against them. Therefore, they did cry unto the people, saying: "Why do ye suffer this man to revile against us?

Helaman 3:39 Now it came to pass that thus they did stir up the people to anger against Nephi and raised contentions among them; For there were some which did cry out: "Let this man alone! For he is a good man and those things which he saith will surely come to pass except we repent;

Helaman 3:42 And it came to pass that those people which sought to destroy Nephi were compelled because of their fear, that they did not lay their hands on him;

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 3:46 "But behold, ye not only deny my words, But ye also deny all the words which hath been spoken by our fathers, And also the words which were spoken by this man Moses which had such great power given unto him, Yea, the words which he hath spoken concerning the coming of Messiah.

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 3:56 "And now will you dispute that Jerusalem was not destroyed? Will ye say that the sons of Zedekiah were not slain, all except it were Mulek?

Helaman 3:57 Yea, and do ye not behold that the seed of Zedekiah are with us? And they were driven out of the Land of Jerusalem?

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 3:67 Behold, now it came to pass that when Nephi had spoken these words, certain men which were among them ran to the judgment seat, Yea, even there were five which went;

Helaman 3:71 And now behold, when they saw this they were astonished exceedingly, insomuch that they fell to the earth, For they had not believed the words which Nephi had spoken concerning the chief judge;

Helaman 3:77 And there was a proclamation sent abroad that the judge was slain and that the murderers had been taken and were cast into prison.

Helaman 3:79 And thus were also those judges - which were at the garden of Nephi and heard his words - were also gathered together at the burial.

Helaman 3:80 And it came to pass that they inquired among the people, saying: "Where are the five which were sent to inquire concerning the chief judge, whether he was dead?"

Helaman 3:82 And it came to pass that the judges desired that they should be brought; And they were brought, And behold, they were the five which were sent.

Helaman 3:83 And behold, the judges inquired of them to know concerning the matter, And they told them all that they had done, saying: "We ran and came to the place of the judgment seat; And when we saw all things, even as Nephi had testified, We were astonished, insomuch that we fell to the earth; And when we were recovered from our astonishment, Behold, they cast us into prison.

Helaman 3:87 And it came to pass that the five were liberated on the day of the burial;

Helaman 3:99 "And behold, he shall deny unto you; And he shall make as if he were astonished; Nevertheless, he shall declare unto you that he is innocent.

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 3:107 And behold, the words which he had said were true; For according to the words, he did deny; And also according to the words, he did confess;

Helaman 3:108 And he was brought to prove that he himself was the very murderer, insomuch that the five were set at liberty, and also was Nephi.

Helaman 3:109 And there were some of the Nephites which did believe on the words of Nephi; And there were some also which believed because of the testimony of the five, For they had been converted while they were in prison.

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 3:125 And behold, now it came to pass that when the Lord had spoken these words unto Nephi, he did stop and did not go unto his own house, But did return unto the multitudes which were scattered about upon the face of the land, And began to declare unto them the word of the Lord which had been spoken unto him concerning their destruction, if they did not repent.

Helaman 3:131 And it came to pass that they would not hearken unto his words; And there began to be contentions, insomuch that they were divided against themselves and began to slay one another with the sword.

Helaman 4:1 And now it came to pass in the seventy and second year of the reign of the judges that the contentions did increase, Insomuch that there were wars throughout all the land, among all the people of Nephi;

Helaman 4:8 For the earth was smitten that it was dry and did not yield forth grain in the season of grain; And the whole earth was smitten, even among the Lamanites, as well as among the Nephites, So that they were smitten that they did perish by thousands in the more wicked parts of the land.

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 4:27 And also they had peace in the seventy and eighth year, save it were a few contentions concerning the points of doctrine which had been laid down by the prophets.

Helaman 4:30 And it came to pass that in the eightieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, There were a certain number of the dissenters from the people of Nephi which had some years before gone over unto the Lamanites and took upon themselves the name of Lamanites,

Helaman 4:31 And also a certain number which were real descendants of the Lamanites being stirred up to anger by them, or by those dissenters, Therefore, they commenced a war with their brethren;

Helaman 4:32 And they did commit murder and plunder; And then they would retreat back into the mountains and into the wilderness and secret places, Hiding themselves that they could not be discovered, Receiving daily an addition to their numbers, inasmuch as there were dissenters that went forth unto them.

Helaman 4:36 But behold, it came to pass that in that same year, they were driven back even into their own lands.

Helaman 4:39 And they were also visited with much destruction; And they were again obliged to return out of the wilderness and out of the mountains unto their own lands because of the exceeding greatness of the numbers of those robbers which infested the mountains and the wilderness.

Helaman 4:47 And it came to pass in the eighty and fifth year, they did wax stronger and stronger in their pride and in their wickedness; And thus they were ripening again for destruction; And thus ended the eighty and fifth year.

Helaman 5:17 'But behold, if it were not for the righteous which are in this great city, Behold, I would cause that fire should come down out of heaven and destroy it; But behold, it is for the righteous' sake that it is spared.

Helaman 5:57 Therefore, there shall be one day and a night and a day, as if it were one day and there were no night. "And this shall be unto you for a sign, for ye shall know of the rising of the sun, and also of its setting;

Helaman 5:109 And now it came to pass that there were many which heard the words of Samuel the Lamanite which he spake upon the walls of the city;

Helaman 5:111 But as many as there were which did not believe in the words of Samuel were angry with him; And they cast stones at him upon the wall, and also many shot arrows at him as he stood upon the wall;

Helaman 5:113 Now when they saw that they could not hit him, there were many more which did believe on his words, Insomuch that they went away unto Nephi to be baptized;

Helaman 5:120 And behold, he was never heard of more among the Nephites. And thus were the affairs of the people;

Helaman 5:123 And thus were the conditions also in the eighty and eighth year of the reign of the judges.

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 5:125 But behold, it came to pass in the ninetieth year of the reign of the judges, there were great signs given unto the people, and wonders; And the words of the prophets began to be fulfilled;

Helaman 5:127 Nevertheless, the people began to harden their hearts - all, save it were the most believing part of them, both of the Nephites, and also of the Lamanites - And began to depend upon their own strength and upon their own wisdom, saying:

Helaman 5:136 And many more things did the people imagine up in their hearts which were foolish and vain;

Helaman 5:137 And they were much disturbed, for Satan did stir them up to do iniquity continually; Yea, he did go about spreading rumors and contentions upon all the face of the land, That he might harden the hearts of the people against that which was good and against that which should come;

Helaman 5:138 And notwithstanding the signs and the wonders which were wrought among the people of the Lord, and the many miracles which they did, Satan did get great hold upon the hearts of the people upon all the face of the land.

3 Nephi 1:5 But there were some which began to say that the time was past for the words to be fulfilled which were spoken by Samuel the Lamanite;

3 Nephi 1:8 But behold, they did watch steadfastly for that day and that night and that day - which should be as one day as if there were no night - that they might know that their faith had not been vain.

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 1:16 And it came to pass that the words which came unto Nephi were fulfilled according as they had been spoken.

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 1:19 Yea, and in fine, all the people upon the face of the whole earth - from the west to the east, both in the Land North and in the Land South - were so exceedingly astonished that they fell to the earth,

3 Nephi 1:26 But notwithstanding those lyings and deceivings, the more part of the people did believe and were converted unto the Lord.

3 Nephi 1:27 And it came to pass that Nephi went forth among the people, and also many others, baptizing unto repentance in the which there were a great remission of sins.

3 Nephi 1:28 And thus the people began again to have peace in the land; And there were no contentions, save it were a few that began to preach, endeavoring to prove by the scriptures that it was no more expedient to observe the law of Moses -

3 Nephi 1:30 But it came to pass that they soon became converted and were convinced of the error which they were in, For it was made known unto them that the law was not yet fulfilled and that it must be fulfilled in every whit;

3 Nephi 1:31 Yea, the word came unto them that it must be fulfilled, Yea, that one jot nor tittle should not pass away till it should all be fulfilled; Therefore, in this same year were they brought to a knowledge of their error and did confess their faults.

3 Nephi 1:33 And it came to pass that the ninety and third year did also pass away in peace, save it were for the Gaddianton robbers which did dwell upon the mountains, which did infest the land;

3 Nephi 1:34 For so strong were their holds and their secret places that the people could not overpower them, Therefore, they did commit many murders and did do much slaughter among the people.

3 Nephi 1:35 And it came to pass that in the ninety and fourth year they began to increase in a great degree because there were many dissenters of the Nephites which did flee unto them, which did cause much sorrow unto those Nephites which did remain in the land.

3 Nephi 1:36 And there was also a cause of much sorrow among the Lamanites; For behold, they had many children which did grow up and began to wax strong in years, That they became for themselves and were led away by some which were Zoramites, by their lyings and their flattering words, to join those Gaddianton robbers;

3 Nephi 1:37 And thus were the Lamanites afflicted also and began to decrease as to their faith and righteousness because of the wickedness of the rising generation.

3 Nephi 1:49 Therefore, all the Lamanites which had become converted unto the Lord did unite with their brethren the Nephites, And were compelled for the safety of their lives and their women and their children to take up arms against those Gaddianton robbers,

3 Nephi 1:51 And it came to pass that before this thirteenth year had passed away, The Nephites were threatened with utter destruction because of this war which had become exceeding sore.

3 Nephi 1:52 And it came to pass that those Lamanites which had united with the Nephites were numbered among the Nephites; And their curse was taken from them, And their skin became white like unto the Nephites,

3 Nephi 1:53 And their young men and their daughters became exceeding fair, And they were numbered among the Nephites and were called Nephites; And thus ended the thirteenth year.

3 Nephi 1:57 And thus ended the fifteenth year. And thus were the people in a state of many afflictions; And the sword of destruction did hang over them, insomuch that they were about to be smitten down by it, And this because of their iniquity.

3 Nephi 2:2 And these were the words which were written, saying: "Lachoneus, most noble and chief governor of the land, Behold, I write this epistle unto you and do give unto you exceeding great praise because of your firmness, and also the firmness of your people, in maintaining that which ye suppose to be your right and liberty;

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 2:14 And also of threatening the people and avenging the wrongs of those that had received no wrong, save it were they had wronged themselves by dissenting away unto those wicked and abominable robbers.

3 Nephi 2:17 Yea, he sent a proclamation among all the people that they should gather together their women and their children, their flocks and their herds and all their substance - save it were their land - unto one place.

3 Nephi 2:19 And he caused that there should be armies - both of the Nephites and of the Lamanites, or of all them which were numbered among the Nephites - should be placed as guards round about to watch them and to guard them from the robbers day and night.

3 Nephi 2:21 And so great and marvelous were the words and prophecies of Lachoneus that they did cause fear to come upon all the people, And they did exert themselves in their might to do according to the words of Lachoneus.

3 Nephi 2:24 Now it was the custom among all the Nephites to appoint for their chief captains - save it were in their times of wickedness - someone that had the spirit of revelation, and also prophecy; Therefore, this Gidgiddoni was a great prophet among them, and also was the chief judge.

3 Nephi 2:33 And there were a great many thousand people which were called Nephites which did gather themselves together in this land.

3 Nephi 2:37 And they were exceeding sorrowful because of their enemies;

3 Nephi 2:41 But behold, there were no wild beasts nor game in those lands which had been deserted by the Nephites, And there was no game for the robbers, save it were in the wilderness;

3 Nephi 2:42 And the robbers could not exist - save it were in the wilderness - for the want of food, For the Nephites had left their lands desolate, and had gathered their flocks and their herds and all their substance; And they were in one body,

3 Nephi 2:43 Therefore, there was no chance for the robbers to plunder and to obtain food, save it were to come up in open battle against the Nephites;

3 Nephi 2:46 And it came to pass that in the nineteenth year, Giddianhi found that it was expedient that he should go up to battle against the Nephites, For there was no way that they could subsist, save it were to plunder and rob and murder;

3 Nephi 2:50 And they were girded about after the manner of robbers; And they had a lambskin about their loins and they were dyed in blood; And their heads were shorn and they had headplates upon them;

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 2:55 Therefore, when the armies of Giddianhi did rush upon them, they were prepared to meet them - Yea, in the strength of the Lord they did receive them. And the battle commenced in this, the sixth month;

3 Nephi 2:67 For behold, they had nothing save it were meat for their subsistence, which meat they did obtain in the wilderness.

3 Nephi 2:68 And it came to pass that the wild game became scarce in the wilderness, insomuch that the robbers were about to perish with hunger.

3 Nephi 2:69 And the Nephites were continually marching out by day and by night and falling upon their armies and cutting them off by thousands and by tens of thousands;

3 Nephi 2:73 And this did they do in the nighttime and got on their march beyond the robbers, So that on the morrow when the robbers began their march, they were met by the armies of the Nephites, both in their front and in their rear;

3 Nephi 2:74 And the robbers which were on the south were also cut off in their places of retreat; And all these things were done by command of Gidgiddoni.

3 Nephi 2:75 And there were many thousands which did yield themselves up prisoners unto the Nephites, And the remainder of them were slain; And their leader, Zemnarihah, was taken and hanged upon a tree - yea, even upon the top thereof - until he was dead;

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 2:86 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 2:87 And as many as would repent of their sins and enter into a covenant that they would murder no more were set at liberty;

3 Nephi 2:88 But as many as there were who did not enter into a covenant and who did still continue to have those secret murders in their hearts - Yea, as many as were found breathing out threatenings against their brethren were condemned and punished according to the law;

3 Nephi 2:89 And thus they did put an end to all those wicked and secret and abominable combinations, in the which there were so much wickedness and so many murders committed.

3 Nephi 2:94 Therefore, I have made my record of these things according to the record of Nephi which was engraven on the plates which were called the plates of Nephi;

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 2:100 Therefore, I do make my record from the accounts which hath been given by those which were before me until the commencement of my day, And then do I make a record of the things which I have seen with mine own eyes;

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 3:4 And they granted unto those robbers which had entered into a covenant to keep the peace of the land - which were desirous to remain Lamanites - lands according to their numbers, that they might have with their labors wherewith to subsist upon; And thus they did establish peace in all the land;

3 Nephi 3:8 And it came to pass that there were many cities built anew and there were many old cities repaired, And there were many highways cast up and many roads made which led from city to city and from land to land and from place to place;

3 Nephi 3:11 And some were lifted up unto pride and boastings because of their exceeding great riches, yea, even unto great persecutions, For there were many merchants in the land, and also many lawyers and many officers.

3 Nephi 3:13 Yea, some were ignorant because of their poverty, and others did receive great learning because of their riches;

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 3:15 And thus there became a great inequality in all the land, insomuch that the church began to be broken up; Yea, insomuch that in the thirtieth year the church was broken up in all the land, save it were among a few of the Lamanites which were converted unto the true faith;

3 Nephi 3:16 And they would not depart from it, for they were firm and steadfast and immovable, willing with all diligence to keep the commands of the Lord.

3 Nephi 3:19 And thus in the commencement of the thirtieth year - the people having been delivered up for the space of a long time, to be carried about by the temptations of the devil whithersoever he desired to carry them, and to do whatsoever iniquity he desired they should - And thus in the commencement of this, the thirtieth year, they were in a state of awful wickedness;

3 Nephi 3:24 Now there were many of the people which were exceeding angry because of those which testified of these things;

3 Nephi 3:25 And those which were angry were chiefly the chief judges and they which had been high priests and lawyers;

3 Nephi 3:26 Yea, all they which were lawyers were angry with those which testified of these things.

3 Nephi 3:28 Now there were many of those which testified of the things pertaining to Christ, which testified boldly, which were taken and put to death secretly by the judges, that the knowledge of their death came not unto the governor of the land until after their death;

3 Nephi 3:31 Now it came to pass that they were taken and brought up before the judge to be judged of their crime which they had done, according to the law which had been given by the people.

3 Nephi 3:32 Now it came to pass that those judges had many friends and kindreds; And the remainder - yea, even almost all the lawyers and the high priests - did gather themselves together and unite with the kindreds of those judges which were to be tried according to the law;

3 Nephi 3:34 Therefore, they did combine against the people of the Lord and enter into a covenant to destroy them and to deliver those which were guilty of murder from the grasp of justice, which was about to be administered according to the law;

3 Nephi 3:37 And the people were divided one against another, And they did separate one from another into tribes, every man according to his family and his kindred and friends - And thus they did destroy the government of the land -

3 Nephi 3:40 Now all this was done and there were no wars as yet among them; And all this iniquity had come upon the people because they did yield themselves unto the power of Satan;

3 Nephi 3:41 And the regulations of the government were destroyed because of the secret combination of the friends and the kindreds of them which murdered the prophets;

3 Nephi 3:42 And they did cause a great contention in the land, insomuch that the more righteous part of the people - although they were nearly all become wicked - yea, there were but few righteous men among them.

3 Nephi 3:46 And it came to pass that they were not so strong in numbers as the tribes of the people which were united together, Save it were their leaders did establish their laws, everyone according to his tribe;

3 Nephi 3:47 Nevertheless, they were enemies - notwithstanding they were not a righteous people - Yet they were united in the hatred of those who had entered into a covenant to destroy the government.

3 Nephi 3:48 Therefore, Jacob seeing that their enemies were more numerous than they, he being the king of the band, Therefore, he commanded his people that they should take their flight into the northernmost part of the land,

3 Nephi 3:49 And there build up unto themselves a kingdom until they were joined by dissenters - for he flattered them that there would be many dissenters - And they become sufficiently strong to contend with the tribes of the people;

3 Nephi 3:51 And thus ended the thirtieth year; And thus were the affairs of the people of Nephi.

3 Nephi 3:52 And it came to pass in the thirty and first year that they were divided into tribes, every man according to his family, kindred and friends;

3 Nephi 3:53 Nevertheless, they had come to an agreement that they would not go to war one with another; But they were not united as to their laws and their manner of government, for they were established according to the minds of them which were their chiefs and their leaders;

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 3:59 And it came to pass that they were angry with him, even because he had greater power than they, For it were not possible that they could disbelieve his words, For so great was his faith on the Lord Jesus Christ that angels did minister unto him daily;

3 Nephi 3:61 And the people saw it and did witness of it and were angry with him because of his power; And he did also do many more miracles in the sight of the people in the name of Jesus.

3 Nephi 3:62 And it came to pass that the thirty and first year did pass away and there were but few which were converted unto the Lord;

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 3:68 Now I would have you remember also that there were none which were brought unto repentance who were not baptized with water;

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 3:70 And there were many in the commencement of this year that were baptized unto repentance. And thus the more part of the year did pass away.

3 Nephi 4:2 And there was not any man which could do a miracle in the name of Jesus, save he were cleansed every whit from his iniquity -

3 Nephi 4:7 And there was also a great and terrible tempest; And there was terrible thunder, insomuch that it did shake the whole earth as if it was about to divide asunder; And there were exceeding sharp lightnings, such as never had been known in all the land.

3 Nephi 4:8 And the City of Zarahemla did take fire; And the City of Moroni did sink into the depths of the sea and the inhabitants thereof were drowned;

3 Nephi 4:11 And the highways were broken up, And the level roads were spoiled, And many smooth places became rough, And many great and notable cities were sunk, And many were burned, And many were shook till the buildings thereof had fallen to the earth, And the inhabitants thereof were slain, And the places were left desolate.

3 Nephi 4:12 And there were some cities which remained, but the damage thereof was exceeding great, And there were many in them which were slain;

3 Nephi 4:13 And there were some which were carried away in the whirlwind, And whither they went, no man knoweth, save they know that they were carried away.

3 Nephi 4:15 And behold, the rocks were rent in twain, yea, they were broken up upon the face of the whole earth, Insomuch that they were found in broken fragments and in seams and in cracks upon all the face of the land.

3 Nephi 4:17 Nevertheless, all these great and terrible things were done in about the space of three hours - And then, behold, there was darkness upon the face of the land.
