Inspired Version, 1908 Book of Mormon, DC 1-144
Alma 18:12 - Alma 19:3
12 Behold, he is the life and the light of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness.
13 And now, as ye have begun to teach the word, even so I would that ye should continue to teach; and I would that ye would be diligent and temperate in all things.
14 See that ye are not lifted up unto pride: yea, see that ye do not boast in your own wisdom, nor of your much strength; use boldness, but not overbearance;
15 And also see that ye bridle all your passions, that ye may be filled with love; see that ye refrain from idleness; do not pray as the Zoramites do, for ye have seen that they pray to be heard of men, and to be praised for their wisdom.
16 Do not say, O God, I thank thee that we are better than our brethren; but rather say, O Lord, forgive my unworthiness, and remember my brethren in mercy; yea, acknowledge your unworthiness before God at all times.
17 And may the Lord bless your soul, and receive you at the last day into his kingdom, to sit down in peace.
18 Now go, my son, and teach the word unto this people. Be sober. My son, farewell.
Alma 19
Intro: The commandments of Alma, to his son, Corianton.
1 And now my son, I have somewhat more to say unto thee than what I said unto thy brother: for behold, have ye not observed the steadiness of thy brother, his faithfulness, and his diligence in keeping the commandments of God.
2 Behold, has he not set a good example for thee?
3 For thou didst not give so much heed unto my words as did thy brother, among the people of the Zoramites.
