Alma 8:67 - Alma 8:77
67 And this Zeezrom began to question Amulek, saying: Will ye answer me a few questions which I shall ask you?
68 Now Zeezrom was a man who was expert in the devices of the devil, that he might destroy that which was good; therefore he said unto Amulek, Will ye answer the questions which I shall put unto you?
69 And Amulek said unto him, Yea, I will if it be according to the Spirit of the Lord which is in me; for I shall say nothing which is contrary to the Spirit of the Lord.
70 And Zeezrom said unto him, Behold here are six onties of silver, and all these will I give thee if thou wilt deny the existence of a supreme being.
71 Now Amulek said, O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me?
72 Knowest thou that the righteous yieldeth to no such temptations?
73 Believest thou that there is no God?
74 I say unto you, Nay; thou knowest that there is a God, but thou lovest that lucre more than him.
75 And now thou hast lied before God unto me.
76 Thou saidst unto me, Behold these six onties which are of great worth, I will give unto thee, when thou had it in thy heart to retain them from me;
77 And it was only thy desire that I should deny the true and living God, that thou mightest have cause to destroy me.
