Mosiah 9:59 - Mosiah 9:69
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.
60 And again, Alma commanded that the people of the church should impart of their substance, every one according to that which he had;
61 If he have more abundantly, he should impart more abundantly; and he that had but little, but little should be required; and to him that had not should be given.
62 And thus they should impart of their substance, of their own free will and good desires towards God, and to those priests that stood in need, yea, and to every needy, naked soul.

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

66 Yea, the place of Mormon, the waters of Mormon, the forest of Mormon, how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer;
67 Yea, and how blessed are they, for they shall sing to his praise for ever.
68 And these things were done in the borders of the land, that they might not come to the knowledge of the king.
69 But behold, it came to pass that the king, having discovered a movement among the people, sent his servants to watch them.
