29 Yea, they did persecute them and afflict them with all manner of words; And this because of their humility,

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.

31 Now there was a strict law among the people of the church that there should not any man belonging to the church arise and persecute those that did not belong to the church, And that there should be no persecution among themselves;

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.

33 Now this was in the second year of the reign of Alma; And it was a cause of much affliction to the church, Yea, it was the cause of much trial with the church,

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,

35 And also many withdrew themselves from among them.

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.

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

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

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.
