Alma 30:30 30 And it came to pass that when he was brought before Alma and
the chief judge, he did go on in the same manner as he did in the
land of Gideon; yea, he went on to blaspheme.

Alma 30:31 31 And he did rise up in great swelling words before Alma, and
did revile against the priests and teachers, accusing them of
leading away the people after the silly traditions of their
fathers, for the sake of glutting on the labors of the people.

Alma 30:32 32 Now Alma said unto him:  Thou knowest that we do not glut ourselves upon the labors of this people; for behold I have labored even from the commencement of the reign of the judges until now, with mine own hands for my support, notwithstanding my many travels round about the land to declare the word of God unto my people.

Alma 30:33 33 And notwithstanding the many labors which I have performed in the church, I have never received so much as even one senine for my labor; neither has any of my brethren, save it were in the judgment-seat; and then we have received only according to law for our time.

Alma 30:34 34 And now, if we do not receive anything for our labors in the church, what doth it profit us to labor in the church save it were to declare the truth, that we may have rejoicings in the joy of our brethren?

Alma 30:35 35 Then why sayest thou that we preach unto this people to get
gain, when thou, of thyself, knowest that we receive no gain? 
And now, believest thou that we deceive this people, that causes
such joy in their hearts?

Alma 30:36 36 And Korihor answered him, Yea.

Alma 30:37 37 And then Alma said unto him:  Believest thou that there is a
God?

Alma 30:38 38 And he answered, Nay.

Alma 30:39 39 Now Alma said unto him:  Will ye deny again that there is a
God, and also deny the Christ?  For behold, I say unto you, I
know there is a God, and also that Christ shall come.

Alma 30:40 40 And now what evidence have ye that there is no God, or that
Christ cometh not?  I say unto you that ye have none, save it be
your word only.

Alma 30:41 41 But, behold, I have all things as a testimony that these
things are true; and ye also have all things as a testimony unto
you that they are true; and will ye deny them?  Believest thou
that these things are true?

Alma 30:42 42 Behold, I know that thou believest, but thou art possessed with a lying spirit, and ye have put off the Spirit of God that it may have no place in you; but the devil has power over you, and he doth carry you about, working devices that he may destroy the children of God.

Alma 30:43 43 And now Korihor said unto Alma:  If thou wilt show me a sign,
that I may be convinced that there is a God, yea, show unto me
that he hath power, and then will I be convinced of the truth of
thy words.
