Alma 13:23 23 And they are made known unto us in plain terms, that we may understand, that we cannot err; and this because of our being wanderers in a strange land; therefore, we are thus highly favored, for we have these glad tidings declared unto us in all parts of our vineyard.
Alma 13:24 24 For behold, angels are declaring it
unto many at this time in
our land; and this is for the purpose of preparing
the hearts of
the children of men to receive his word at the time
of his coming
in his glory.
Alma 13:25 25 And now we only wait to hear the joyful
news declared unto us
by the mouth of angels, of his coming; for the time

let it be sooner or later, in it I will rejoice.

Alma 13:27 27 And now, my brethren, I wish from
the inmost part of my
heart, yea, with great anxiety even unto pain, that
ye would
hearken unto my words, and cast off your sins, and
not
procrastinate the day of your repentance;
Alma 13:28 28 But that ye would humble yourselves
before the Lord, and call
on his holy name, and watch and pray continually,
that ye may not
be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus
be led by the
Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient,
full of
love and all long-suffering;
Alma 13:29 29 Having faith on the Lord; having a
hope that ye shall receive
eternal life; having the love of God always in your
hearts, that
ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into
his rest.
Alma 13:30 30 And may the Lord grant unto you repentance,
that ye may not
bring down his wrath upon you, that ye may not be
bound down by
the chains of hell, that ye may not suffer the second
death.
Alma 13:31 31 And Alma spake many more words unto
the people, which are not
written in this book.

Chapter 14
Alma 14:1 1 And it came to pass after he had made
an end of speaking unto
the people many of them did believe on his words,
and began to
repent, and to search the scriptures.
Alma 14:2 2 But the more part of them were desirous that they might destroy Alma and Amulek; for they were angry with Alma, because of the plainness of his words unto Zeezrom; and they also said that Amulek had lied unto them, and had reviled against their law and also against their lawyers and judges.
Alma 14:3 3 And they were also angry with Alma and
Amulek; and because
they had testified so plainly against their wickedness,
they
sought to put them away privily.
Alma 14:4 4 But it came to pass that they did not;
but they took them and
bound them with strong cords, and took them before
the chief
judge of the land.
