Mosiah 17:19 19 Thus God executeth vengeance upon those that destroy his
people.  O God, receive my soul.

Mosiah 17:20 20 And now, when Abinadi had said these words, he fell, having
suffered death by fire; yea, having been put to death because he
would not deny the commandments of God, having sealed the truth
of his words by his death.

Mosiah 18
Chapter 18

Mosiah 18:1 1 And now, it came to pass that Alma, who had fled from the
servants of king Noah, repented of his sins and iniquities, and
went about privately among the people, and began to teach the
words of Abinadi—­

Mosiah 18:2 2 Yea, concerning that which was to come, and also concerning the resurrection of the dead, and the redemption of the people, which was to be brought to pass through the power, and sufferings, and death of Christ, and his resurrection and ascension into heaven.

Mosiah 18:3 3 And as many as would hear his word he did teach.  And he
taught them privately, that it might not come to the knowledge of
the king.  And many did believe his words.

Mosiah 18:4 4 And it came to pass that as many as did believe him did go
forth to a place which was called Mormon, having received its
name from the king, being in the borders of the land having been
infested, by times or at seasons, by wild beasts.

Mosiah 18:5 5 Now, there was in Mormon a fountain of pure water, and Alma
resorted thither, there being near the water a thicket of small
trees, where he did hide himself in the daytime from the searches
of the king.

Mosiah 18:6 6 And it came to pass that as many as believed him went thither
to hear his words.

Mosiah 18:7 7 And it came to pass after many days there were a goodly number
gathered together at the place of Mormon, to hear the words of
Alma.  Yea, all were gathered together that believed on his word,
to hear him.  And he did teach them, and did preach unto them
repentance, and redemption, and faith on the Lord.

Mosiah 18:8 8 And it came to pass that he said unto them:  Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light;

Mosiah 18:9 9 Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life—­

Mosiah 18:10 10 Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?
