Mosiah 11

Mosiah 11:1 [LDS 23:1]
[Now Alma,] [having been warned] [of the Lord] [that the armies] [of King] Noah [would come] [upon them,] [and had made it known] to [his people,] therefore [they gathered together] [their flocks,] [and took] [of their grain,] [and departed] [into the wilderness] before [the armies] [of King] Noah.

Mosiah 11:2 [LDS 23:2]
[And the Lord] [did strengthen them,] that [the people] [of King] Noah [could not] [overtake them,] [to destroy them.]

Mosiah 11:3 [LDS 23:3]
[And they fled] eight days' journey [into the wilderness.]

Mosiah 11:4 [LDS 23:4]
[And they came] to [a land,] [yea,{incorrect punctuation} even] [[a <very> <beautiful> [and pleasant] land; ]] [a land] [of pure] water.

Mosiah 11:5 [LDS 23:5]
[And they pitched] [their tents,] [and began] [to till] [the ground,] [and began] [to build] buildings, etc.; yea, [they were industrious] [and did labor] exceedingly.

Mosiah 11:6 [LDS 23:6]
[And the people] [were desirous] [that Alma] [should be] [their king,] for [he was beloved] [by his people.]

Mosiah 11:7 [LDS 23:7]
[But he said] [unto them,] Behold, [it is <not> expedient] [that we should have] [a king;] for thus saith [the Lord:] [Ye shall <not> esteem] one flesh [above another,] [or <one> man] [shall <not> think himself] above another; therefore [I say] [unto you,] [It is <not> expedient] [that ye should have] [a king.]

Mosiah 11:8 [LDS 23:8]
[Nevertheless,{incorrect punctuation} if] [it were possible] [that ye could <always> <have> <just> men] [to be] [your kings,] [it would be] well [for you] [to have] [a king.]

Mosiah 11:9 [LDS 23:9]
[But remember] [the iniquity] [of King] Noah [and his priests;] [and I myself] [was caught] [in a snare,] [and did] many things which [were abominable] [in the sight] [of the Lord,] which [caused me] sore repentance;

Mosiah 11:10 [LDS 23:10]
[Nevertheless,{incorrect punctuation} after] much tribulation, [the Lord] [did hear] [my cries,] [and did answer] [my prayers,] [and has made me] [an instrument] [in his hands,] [in bringing] [so many] [of you] [to a knowledge] [of his truth.]

Mosiah 11:11 [LDS 23:11]
Nevertheless, [in this] [I do <not> glory,] for [I am unworthy] [to glory] [of myself.]

Mosiah 11:12 [LDS 23:12]
[And now] [I say] [unto you,] [ye have been oppressed] [by King] Noah, [and have been] [in bondage] [to him] [and his priests,] [and have been brought] [into iniquity] [by them;] [therefore ye were bound] [with the bands] [of iniquity.]

Mosiah 11:13 [LDS 23:13]
[And now] [as ye have been delivered,] [by the power] [of God,] [out of these bonds;]

Mosiah 11:14 [LDS 23:13]
[Yea,{incorrect punctuation} even] [out of the hands] [of King] Noah [and his people,] [and also] [from the bonds] [of iniquity,] [even so] [I desire] [that ye should stand fast] [in <this> liberty] wherewith [ye have been made free,] [and that ye trust] no man [to be] [a king] [over you;]

Mosiah 11:15 [LDS 23:14]
[And also] trusting no one [to be] [your teacher] [nor your minister,] except [he be a man] of God, walking [in his ways] [and keeping] [his commandments.]

Mosiah 11:16 [LDS 23:15]
Thus [did Alma] teach [his people,] [that every] man [should love] [his neighbor] [as himself;] [that there should be] no contention [among them.]

Mosiah 11:17 [LDS 23:16]
[And now] Alma was [their <high> <priest,>{incorrect punctuation} he] [being the founder] [of their church.]

Mosiah 11:18 [LDS 23:17]
[And it came to pass] [that none] received authority [to preach] [or to teach,] except [it were by him] [from God.]

Mosiah 11:19 [LDS 23:17]
[Therefore he consecrated] all [their priests,] [and all] [their teachers,] [and none] [were consecrated] except [they were <just> men.]

Mosiah 11:20 [LDS 23:18]
Therefore [they did watch] over [their people,] [and did nourish them] with things [pertaining to righteousness.]

Mosiah 11:21 [LDS 23:19]
[And it came to pass] [that they began] [to prosper] exceedingly [in the land;] [and they called] [the land] Helam.

Mosiah 11:22 [LDS 23:20]
[And it came to pass] [that they did multiply] [and prosper] exceedingly [in the land] [of Helam;] [and they built] [a city,] which [they called] [the city] [of Helam.]

Mosiah 11:23 [LDS 23:21]
[Nevertheless the Lord] [seeth fit] [to chasten] [his people;] yea, [he trieth] [their patience] [and their faith.]

Mosiah 11:24 [LDS 23:22]
[Nevertheless,{incorrect punctuation} whosoever] [putteth his trust] [in him,] [the same] [shall be lifted up] [at the last] day.

Mosiah 11:25 [LDS 23:22]
Yea, [and thus] [it was] [with this people.]

Mosiah 11:26 [LDS 23:23]
For behold, [I will shew] [unto you] [that they were brought] [into bondage,] [and none] [could deliver them] [but the Lord] [their God;] [yea,{incorrect punctuation} even] [the God] [of Abraham,] [and of Isaac,] [and of Jacob.]

Mosiah 11:27 [LDS 23:24]
[And it came to pass] [that he did deliver them,] [and he did shew forth] [his <mighty> power] [unto them,] [and great] were [their rejoicings.]

Mosiah 11:28 [LDS 23:25]
For behold, [it came to pass] [that while they were] [in the land] [of Helam,] yea, [in the city] [of Helam,] [while tilling] [the land] [round about,] behold [an army] [of the Lamanites] were [in the borders] [of the land.]

Mosiah 11:29 [LDS 23:26]
[Now it came to pass] [that the brethren] [of Alma] fled from [their fields,] [and gathered themselves together] into [the city] [of Helam;] [and they were <much> frightened] [because of the appearance] [of the Lamanites.]

Mosiah 11:30 [LDS 23:27]
[But Alma] [went forth] [and stood] [among them,] [and exhorted them] [that they should <not> be frightened,] [but that they should remember] [the Lord] [their God,] [and he would deliver them;]

Mosiah 11:31 [LDS 23:28]
Therefore [they hushed] [their fears,] [and began] [to cry] unto [the Lord,] [that he would soften] [the hearts] [of the Lamanites,] [that they would spare them,] [and their wives,] [and their children.]

Mosiah 11:32 [LDS 23:29]
[And it came to pass] [that the Lord] [did soften] [the hearts] [of the Lamanites.]

Mosiah 11:33 [LDS 23:29]
[And Alma] [and his brethren] [went forth] [and delivered themselves up] [into their hands;] [and the Lamanites] [took possession] [of the land] [of Helam.]

Mosiah 11:34 [LDS 23:30]
[Now the armies] [of the Lamanites] which [had followed] after [the people] [of King] Limhi, [had been lost] [in the wilderness] for many days.

Mosiah 11:35 [LDS 23:31]
[And behold,] [they had found] those priests [of King] Noah, [in a place] which [they called] Amulon; [and they had begun] [to possess] [the land] [of Amulon,] [and had begun] [to till] [the ground.]

Mosiah 11:36 [LDS 23:32]
[Now the name] [of the leader] [of <those> priests] [was Amulon.]

Mosiah 11:37 [LDS 23:33]
[And it came to pass] [that Amulon] [did plead] with [the Lamanites;] [and he also] [sent forth] [their wives,] who [were the daughters] [of the Lamanites,] [to plead] with [their brethren,] [that they should <not> destroy] [their husbands.]

Mosiah 11:38 [LDS 23:34]
[And the Lamanites] [had compassion] [on Amulon] [and his brethren,] [and did <not> destroy them,] [because of their wives.]

Mosiah 11:39 [LDS 23:35]
[And Amulon] [and his brethren] [did join] [the Lamanites,] [and they were traveling] [in the wilderness] [in search] [of the land] [of Nephi,] [when they discovered] [the land] [of Helam,] which [was possessed] [by Alma] [and his brethren.]

Mosiah 11:40 [LDS 23:36]
[And it came to pass] [that the Lamanites] promised unto Alma [and his brethren,] [that if] [they would shew them] [the way] [which led] [to the land] [of Nephi,] [that they would grant] [unto them] [their lives] [and their liberty.]

Mosiah 11:41 [LDS 23:37]
[But after] Alma [had shewn them] [the way] [that led] [to the land] [of Nephi,] [the Lamanites] [would <not> keep] [their promise;] [but they set] guards [round about] [the land] [of Helam,] over Alma [and his brethren.]

Mosiah 11:42 [LDS 23:38]
[And the remainder] [of them went] to [the land] [of Nephi;] [and a part] [of them] returned to [the land] [of Helam,] [and also] brought with [them the wives] [and the children] [of the guards] who [had been left] [in the land.]

Mosiah 11:43 [LDS 23:39]
[And the king] [of the Lamanites] [had granted] [unto Amulon] [that he] [should be] [a king] [and a ruler] over [his people,] who [were in the land] [of Helam;] nevertheless [he should have <no> power] [to do] anything contrary [to the will] [of the king] [of the Lamanites.]

Mosiah 11:44 [LDS 24:1]
[And it came to pass] [that Amulon] [did gain] favor [in the eyes] [of the king] [of the Lamanites;] [therefore the king] [of the Lamanites] granted [unto him] [and his brethren,] [that they should be appointed] teachers over [his people;]

Mosiah 11:45 [LDS 24:1]
[Yea,{incorrect punctuation} even] over [the people] who [were in the land] [of Shemlon,] [and in the land] [of Shilom,] [and in the land] [of Amulon:]

Mosiah 11:46 [LDS 24:2]
For [the Lamanites] [had taken possession] [of all] these lands; [therefore the king] [of the Lamanites] [had appointed] kings over all these lands:

Mosiah 11:47 [LDS 24:3]
[And now] [the name] [of the king] [of the Lamanites] [was Laman,] [being called] [after the name] [of his father;] [and therefore] [he was called] King Laman.

Mosiah 11:48 [LDS 24:3]
[And he was] king over [a <numerous> people;] [and he appointed] teachers [of the brethren] [of Amulon,] [in every] land which [was possessed] [by his people;]

Mosiah 11:49 [LDS 24:4]
[And thus] [the language] [of Nephi] began [to be taught] among all [the people] [of the Lamanites.]

Mosiah 11:50 [LDS 24:5]
[And they were] [a people] friendly one with another; nevertheless [they knew] not God; neither [did the brethren] [of Amulon] [teach them] anything concerning [the Lord] [their God,] neither [the law] [of Moses;]

Mosiah 11:51 [LDS 24:6]
Nor [did they teach them] [the words] [of Abinadi;] [but they taught them] [that they should keep] [their record,] [and that] they [might write] one to another.

Mosiah 11:52 [LDS 24:7]
[And thus] [the Lamanites] began [to increase] [in riches,] [and began] [to trade] one with another, [and wax great,] [and began] [to be] [a cunning] [and a <wise> people,] [as to the wisdom] [of the world;]

Mosiah 11:53 [LDS 24:7]
Yea, [a <very> cunning] people; delighting [in all manner] [of wickedness] [and plunder] except [it were among] [their own brethren.]

Mosiah 11:54 [LDS 24:8]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that Amulon] began [to exercise] authority over Alma [and his brethren,] [and began] [to persecute him,] [and cause that his children] [should persecute] [their children;]

Mosiah 11:55 [LDS 24:9]
For Amulon knew Alma, that [he had been one] [of the <king's> priests,] [and that it was] he [that believed] [the words] [of Abinadi,] [and was driven out] before [the king;] [and therefore] [he was wroth] [with him,] for [he was subject] [to King] Laman;

Mosiah 11:56 [LDS 24:9]
[Yet he exercised] authority [over them,] [and put] tasks [upon them,] [and put] task-masters [over them.]

Mosiah 11:57 [LDS 24:10]
[And it came to pass] [that so great] [were their afflictions,] [that they began] [to cry] mightily to God.

Mosiah 11:58 [LDS 24:11]
[And Amulon] commanded them [that they should stop] [their cries;] [and he put] guards [over them] [to watch them,] [that whosoever] [should be found] calling [upon God,] [should be put to death.]

Mosiah 11:59 [LDS 24:12]
[And Alma] [and his people] [did <not> raise] [their voices] [to the Lord] [their God,] [but did pour out] [their hearts] [to him;] [and he did know] [the thoughts] [of their hearts.]

Mosiah 11:60 [LDS 24:13]
[And it came to pass] [that the voice] [of the Lord] came [to them] [in their afflictions,] saying, [Lift up] [your heads] [and be of <good> comfort,] for [I know] [of the covenant] which [ye have made] [unto me;] [and I will covenant] with this [my people,] [and deliver them] [out of bondage.]

Mosiah 11:61 [LDS 24:14]
[And I will <also> ease] [the burdens] which [are put] upon [your shoulders,] that [even you can <not> feel them] upon [your backs,] [even while you are] [in bondage;]

Mosiah 11:62 [LDS 24:14]
[And this] [will I do,] [that ye may stand] [as witnesses] [for me] hereafter, [and that] [ye may know] [of a surety] that I, [the Lord] God, [do visit] [my people] [in their afflictions.]

Mosiah 11:63 [LDS 24:15]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that the burdens] [which were laid] upon Alma [and his brethren,] [were made light;]

Mosiah 11:64 [LDS 24:15]
Yea, [the Lord] [did strengthen them] that [they could bear up] [their burdens] [with ease,] [and they did submit] cheerfully [and with] patience [to all] [the will] [of the Lord.]

Mosiah 11:65 [LDS 24:16]
[And it came to pass] [that so great] [was their faith] [and their patience,] [that the voice] [of the Lord] came [unto them] again, saying, [Be of <good> comfort,] for [on the morrow] [I will deliver you] [out of bondage.]

Mosiah 11:66 [LDS 24:17]
[And he said] unto Alma, [Thou shalt go] before this people, [and I will go] [with thee,] [and deliver] this people [out of bondage.]

Mosiah 11:67 [LDS 24:18]
[Now it came to pass] [that Alma] [and his people] [in the <night> time,] [[ gathered [their flocks] together,]] [and also] [of their grain;] [yea,{incorrect punctuation} even] all [the <night> time] [[were they gathering [their flocks] together.]]

Mosiah 11:68 [LDS 24:19]
[And in the morning] [the Lord] [caused a deep sleep] [to come] upon [the Lamanites,] yea, [and all] [their task-masters] [were in] [a <profound> sleep.]

Mosiah 11:69 [LDS 24:20]
[And Alma] [and his people] departed [into the wilderness;] [and when they had traveled] all day, [they pitched] [their tents] [in a valley,] [and they called] [the valley] Alma, because [he led] [their way] [in the wilderness;]

Mosiah 11:70 [LDS 24:21]
Yea, [and in the valley] [of Alma] [they poured out] [their thanks] [to God] because [he had been merciful unto them,] [and eased] [their burdens,] [and had delivered them] [out of bondage;]

Mosiah 11:71 [LDS 24:21]
For [they were] [in bondage,] [and none] [could deliver them,] except [it were the Lord] [their God.]

Mosiah 11:72 [LDS 24:22]
[And they gave thanks] to God, yea, all [their men,] [and all] [their women,] [and all] [their children,] [that could speak,] lifted [their voices] [in the praises] [of their God.]

Mosiah 11:73 [LDS 24:23]
[And now] [the Lord] said unto Alma, [Haste thee] [and get thou] [and <this> people] [out of <this> land,] for [the Lamanites] [have awakened] [and do pursue thee;]

Mosiah 11:74 [LDS 24:23]
[Therefore get thee] [out of this land,] [and I will stop] [the Lamanites] [in <this> valley,] [that they come] no further [in pursuit] [of <this> people.]

Mosiah 11:75 [LDS 24:24]
[And it came to pass] [that they departed] [out of the valley,] [and took their journey] [unto the wilderness.]

Mosiah 11:76 [LDS 24:25]
[And after] [they had been] [in the wilderness] twelve days, [they arrived] to [the land] [of Zarahemla;] [and King] Mosiah [did also] [receive them] [with joy.]

Mosiah 11:77 [LDS 25:1]
[And now] King Mosiah [caused that all] [the people] [should be gathered together.]

Mosiah 11:78 [LDS 25:2]
[Now there were] not [so many] [of the children] [of Nephi,] [or so many] [of those who] were [the descendants] [of Nephi,] [as there were] [of the people] [of Zarahemla,] [who was] [a descendant] [of Mulok,] [and those who came] [with him] into [the wilderness;]

Mosiah 11:79 [LDS 25:3]
[And there were] not [so many] [of the people] [of Nephi] [and of the people] [of Zarahemla] [as there were] [of the Lamanites:] yea, [they were] not half [so numerous.]

Mosiah 11:80 [LDS 25:4]
[And now] all [the people] [of Nephi] [were assembled together,] [and also] all [the people] [of Zarahemla,] [and they were gathered together] [in <two> bodies.]

Mosiah 11:81 [LDS 25:5]
[And it came to pass] [that Mosiah] [did read,] [and caused to be read,] [the records] [of Zeniff] to [his people;] yea, [he read] [the records] [of the people] [of Zeniff,] [from the time] [they left] [the land] [of Zarahemla] until [they returned again.]

Mosiah 11:82 [LDS 25:6]
[And he <also> read] [the account] [of Alma] [and his brethren,] [and all] [their afflictions,] [from the time] [they left] [the land] [of Zarahemla,] until [the time] [they returned again.]

Mosiah 11:83 [LDS 25:7] [Note]
[And now] [when Mosiah] [had made an end] [of reading] [the records,] [his people] [who tarried] [in the land] [were struck] [with wonder] [and amazement,] for [they knew] not what [to think;]

Mosiah 11:84 [LDS 25:8]
For [when they beheld] [those that had been delivered] [out of bondage,] [they were filled] [with <exceeding> <great> joy.]

Mosiah 11:85 [LDS 25:9]
[And again,] [when they thought] [of their brethren] who [had been slain] [by the Lamanites,] [they were filled] [with sorrow,] [and even] shed many tears [of sorrow;]

Mosiah 11:86 [LDS 25:10]
[And again,] [when they thought] [of the <immediate> goodness] [of God,] [and his power] [in delivering] Alma [and his brethren] [out of the hands] [of the Lamanites,] [and of bondage,] [they did raise] [their voices,] [and give thanks] to God.

Mosiah 11:87 [LDS 25:11]
[And again,] [when they thought] upon [the Lamanites,] who [were their brethren,] [of their sinful] [and <polluted> state,] [they were filled] [with pain] [and anguish,] [for the welfare] [of their souls.]

Mosiah 11:88 [LDS 25:12] [Note]
[And it came to pass] [that those] [who were the children] [of Amulon] [and his brethren,] who [had taken] [to wife] [the daughters] [of the Lamanites,] [were displeased] [with the conduct] [of their fathers,]

Mosiah 11:89 [LDS 25:12]
[And they would <no> <longer> be called] [by the names] [of their fathers,] therefore [they took] [upon themselves] [the name] [of Nephi,] [that they might be called] [the children] [of Nephi,] [and be numbered] among [those who] [were called] Nephites.

Mosiah 11:90 [LDS 25:13]
[And now] all [the people] [of Zarahemla] [were numbered] with [the Nephites,] [and this] because [the kingdom] [had been conferred] upon none [but those who] were descendants [of Nephi.]

Mosiah 11:91 [LDS 25:14]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that when Mosiah] [had made an end] [of speaking] [and reading] to [the people,] [he desired] [that Alma] [should <also> speak] to [the people.]

Mosiah 11:92 [LDS 25:15]
[And Alma] [did speak] unto them, [when they were assembled together] [in <large> bodies,] [and he went] [from <one> body] [to another] preaching [unto the people] repentance [and faith] [on the Lord.]

Mosiah 11:93 [LDS 25:16]
[And he did exhort] [the people] [of Limhi] [and his brethren,] all [those that had been delivered] [out of bondage,] [that they should remember] [that it was] [the Lord] [that did deliver them.]

Mosiah 11:94 [LDS 25:17]
[And it came to pass] [that after] Alma [had taught] [the people] many things, [and had made an end] [of speaking] [to them,] [that King] Limhi [was desirous] [that he might be baptized;] [and all] [his people] [were desirous] [that they might be baptized] also.

Mosiah 11:95 [LDS 25:18]
[Therefore Alma] [did go forth] [into the water,] [and did baptize them;] yea, [he did baptize them] [after the manner] [he did] [his brethren] [in the waters] [of Mormon;]

Mosiah 11:96 [LDS 25:18]
Yea, [and as many as] [he did baptize did belong] [to the church] [of God;] [and this] because [of their belief] [on the words] [of Alma.]

Mosiah 11:97 [LDS 25:19]
[And it came to pass] [that King] Mosiah granted [unto Alma,] [that he might establish] churches [throughout all] [the land] [of Zarahemla;] [and gave] him power [to ordain] priests [and teachers] [over every] church.

Mosiah 11:98 [LDS 25:20]
[Now this] [was done] because [there were] [so many] people [that they could] not all [be governed] [by <one> teacher;] neither [could they <all> hear] [the word] [of God] [in <one> assembly;] therefore [they did assemble themselves together] [in <different> bodies,] [being called] churches;

Mosiah 11:99 [LDS 25:21]
Every church [having their priests] [and their teachers,] [and every] priest preaching [the word] [according as it was delivered] [to him] [by the mouth] [of Alma;]

Mosiah 11:100 [LDS 25:22]
[And thus,] notwithstanding there being many churches [they were] all one church; [yea,{incorrect punctuation} even] [the church] [of God:]

Mosiah 11:101 [LDS 25:22]
For [there was <nothing> preached] [in all the churches] except [it were repentance] [and faith] [in God.]

Mosiah 11:102 [LDS 25:23]
[And now] [there were] seven churches [in the land] [of Zarahemla.]

Mosiah 11:103 [LDS 25:23]
[And it came to pass] [that whosoever] [were desirous] [to take] [upon them] [the name] [of Christ,] [or of God,] [they did join] [the churches] [of God;] [and they were called] [the people] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:104 [LDS 25:24]
[And the Lord] [did pour out] [his Spirit] [upon them,] [and they were blessed,] [and prospered] [in the land.]

Mosiah 11:105 [LDS 26:1]
[Now it came to pass] [that there were] many [of the <rising> generation] [that could] not understand [the words] [of King] Benjamin, [being <little> children] [at the time] [he spake] unto [his people;] [and they did <not> believe] [the tradition] [of their fathers.]

Mosiah 11:106 [LDS 26:2]
[They did <not> believe] what [had been said] concerning [the resurrection] [of the dead;] neither [did they believe] concerning [the coming] [of Christ.]

Mosiah 11:107 [LDS 26:3]
[And now] [because of their unbelief,] [they could] not understand [the word] [of God;] [and their hearts] [were hardened.]

Mosiah 11:108 [LDS 26:4]
[And they would <not> be baptized;] neither [would they join] [the church.]

Mosiah 11:109 [LDS 26:4]
[And they were] [a <separate> people] [as to their faith,] [and remained so] [ever after,] [even in their carnal] [and <sinful> state;] for [they would <not> call] [upon the Lord] [their God.]

Mosiah 11:110 [LDS 26:5]
[And now] [in the reign] [of Mosiah,] [they were] not half [so numerous] [as the people] [of God;] [but because of the dissensions] among [the brethren,] [they became] [more numerous.]

Mosiah 11:111 [LDS 26:6]
[For it came to pass] [that they did deceive] many [with their <flattering> words,] who [were in the church,] [and did cause them] [to commit] many sins;

Mosiah 11:112 [LDS 26:6]
[Therefore it became expedient] [that those who] committed sin that [were in the church,] [should be admonished] [by the church.]

Mosiah 11:113 [LDS 26:7]
[And it came to pass] [that they were brought] before [the priests,] [and delivered up] unto [the priests] [by the teachers;] [and the priests] [brought them] before Alma, [who was] [the <high> priest.]

Mosiah 11:114 [LDS 26:8]
[Now King] Mosiah [had given] Alma [the authority] [over the church.]

Mosiah 11:115 [LDS 26:9]
[And it came to pass] [that Alma] [did <not> know] [concerning them,] for [there were] many witnesses [against them;] yea, [the people] stood [and testified] [of their iniquity] [in abundance.]

Mosiah 11:116 [LDS 26:10] [Note]
[[Now there had <not> any such thing ]] happened before, [in the church;] [therefore Alma] [was troubled] [in his spirit,] [and he caused that they should be brought] before [the king.]

Mosiah 11:117 [LDS 26:11]
[And he said] unto [the king,] Behold, here [are many] whom [we have brought] [before thee,] who [are accused] [of their brethren;] yea, [and they have been taken] [in divers iniquities.]

Mosiah 11:118 [LDS 26:11]
[And they do <not> repent] [of their iniquities;] therefore [we have brought them] [before thee,] [that thou mayest judge them] [according to their crimes.]

Mosiah 11:119 [LDS 26:12]
[But King] Mosiah said unto Alma, Behold, [I judge them] not; therefore [I deliver them] [into thy hands] [to be judged.]

Mosiah 11:120 [LDS 26:13]
[And now] [the spirit] [of Alma] [was <again> troubled;] [and he went] [and inquired] [of the Lord] what [he should do] concerning [this matter,] for [he feared] that [he should do] wrong [in the sight] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:121 [LDS 26:14]
[And it came to pass] [that after] [he had poured out] [his whole] soul to God, [the voice] [of the Lord] came [to him,] saying, Blessed [art thou,] Alma, [and blessed are] [they who] [were baptized] [in the waters] [of Mormon.]

Mosiah 11:122 [LDS 26:15]
[Thou art] blessed [because of thy <exceeding> faith] [in the words] alone [of my servant,] Abinadi.

Mosiah 11:123 [LDS 26:16]
[And blessed are] [they because of their <exceeding> faith] [in the words] alone which [thou hast spoken] unto them.

Mosiah 11:124 [LDS 26:17]
[And blessed] [art thou] because [thou hast established] [a church] among this people; [and they shall be established,] [and they shall be] [my people.]

Mosiah 11:125 [LDS 26:18]
Yea, blessed [is <this> people,] who [are willing] [to bear] [my name;] for [in my name] [shall they be called;] [and they] [are mine.]

Mosiah 11:126 [LDS 26:19]
[And because] [thou hast inquired] [of me] [concerning the transgressor,] [thou art] blessed.

Mosiah 11:127 [LDS 26:20]
[Thou art] [my servant:] [and I covenant] [with thee,] [that thou shalt have] eternal life; [and thou shalt serve me,] [and go forth] [in my name,] [and shall gather together] [my sheep.]

Mosiah 11:128 [LDS 26:21]
[And he that will hear] [my voice,] [shall be] [my sheep;] [and him] [shall ye receive] into [the church;] [and him] [will I <also> receive.]

Mosiah 11:129 [LDS 26:22]
For behold, this [is my church:] whosoever [is baptized,] [shall be baptized] [unto repentance.]

Mosiah 11:130 [LDS 26:22]
[And whosoever] [ye receive,] [shall believe] [in my name;] [and him] [will I <freely> forgive:]

Mosiah 11:131 [LDS 26:23]
For it [is I] [that taketh] [upon me] [the sins] [of the world;] for [it is I] [that hath created them;] [and it is I] [that granteth] [unto him] [that believeth] [in the end,] [a place] [at my right hand.]

Mosiah 11:132 [LDS 26:24]
For behold, [in my name] [are they called;] [and if] [they know me,] [they shall come forth,] [and shall have] [a place] eternally [at my right hand.]

Mosiah 11:133 [LDS 26:25]
[And it shall come to pass] [that when the <second> trump] [shall sound,] then [shall they that <never> knew me] [come forth,] [and shall stand] [before me;]

Mosiah 11:134 [LDS 26:26]
[And then shall they know] that [I am] [the Lord] [their God,] that [I am] [their Redeemer;] [but they would <not> be redeemed.]

Mosiah 11:135 [LDS 26:27]
[And then will I confess unto them,] [that I <never> knew them;] [and they shall depart] [into everlasting] fire, prepared [for the devil] [and his angels.]

Mosiah 11:136 [LDS 26:28]
Therefore [I say] [unto you,] [that he that will <not> hear] [my voice,] [the same] [shall ye <not> receive] into [my church,] for him [I will <not> receive] [at the last] day:

Mosiah 11:137 [LDS 26:29]
Therefore [I say] [unto you,] Go; [and whosoever] transgresseth [against me,] him [shall ye judge] [according to the sins] which [he has committed;]

Mosiah 11:138 [LDS 26:29]
[And if] [he confess] [his sins] [before thee] [and me,] [and repenteth] [in the sincerity] [of his heart,] him [shall ye forgive,] [and I will forgive him] also;

Mosiah 11:139 [LDS 26:30]
Yea, [and as often as] [my people] repent, [will I forgive them] [their trespasses] [against me.]

Mosiah 11:140 [LDS 26:31]
[And ye shall <also> forgive] one another [your trespasses:] for verily [I say] [unto you,] He [that forgiveth] not [his neighbor's] trespasses, when [he says] [that he repents,] [the same] [hath brought himself] [under condemnation.]

Mosiah 11:141 [LDS 26:32]
[Now I say] [unto you,] Go; [and whosoever] [will <not> repent] [of his sins,] [the same] [shall <not> be numbered] among [my people:] [and this] [shall be observed] from this time forward.

Mosiah 11:142 [LDS 26:33]
[And it came to pass] [when Alma] [had heard] these words, [he wrote them down,] [that he might have] them, [and that he might judge] [the people] [of that church,] [according to the commandments] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:143 [LDS 26:34]
[And it came to pass] [that Alma] went [and judged] [those that had been taken] [in iniquity,] [according to the word] [of the Lord.]

Mosiah 11:144 [LDS 26:35]
[And whosoever] repented [of their sins] [and did confess them,] them [he did number] among [the people] [of the church;]

Mosiah 11:145 [LDS 26:36]
[And those] [that would <not> confess] [their sins] [and repent] [of their iniquity,] [the same] [were <not> numbered] among [the people] [of the church,] [and their names] [were blotted out.]

Mosiah 11:146 [LDS 26:37]
[And it came to pass] [that Alma] [did regulate] all [the affairs] [of the church;]

Mosiah 11:147 [LDS 26:37]
[And they began] again [to have] peace [and to prosper] exceedingly [in the affairs] [of the church;] walking circumspectly before God; receiving many, [and baptizing] many.

Mosiah 11:148 [LDS 26:38]
[And now] all these things did Alma [and his fellow laborers] do, who [were over the church;] walking [in all] diligence, teaching [the word] [of God] [in all things,] suffering [all manner] [of afflictions;] [being persecuted] [by all] [those who did <not> belong] [to the church] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:149 [LDS 26:39]
[And they did admonish] [their brethren;] [and they were <also> admonished,] [every one,] [by the word] [of God,] [according to his sins,] [or to the sins] which [he had committed;] [being commanded] [of God] [to pray] without ceasing, [and to give thanks] [in all things.]

Mosiah 11:150 [LDS 27:1]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that the persecutions] which [were inflicted] [on the church] [by the unbelievers,] became [so great,] [that the church] began [to murmur,] [and complain] [to their leaders] concerning [the matter;] [and they did complain] [to Alma.]

Mosiah 11:151 [LDS 27:1]
[And Alma] laid [the case] before [their King] Mosiah. [And Mosiah] consulted with [his priests.]

Mosiah 11:152 [LDS 27:2]
[And it came to pass] [that King] Mosiah sent [a proclamation] [throughout the land] [round about,] [[that there should <not> <any> <unbeliever> persecute ]] any [of those who belonged] [to the church] [of God:]

Mosiah 11:153 [LDS 27:3]
[And there was] [a strict command] [throughout all the churches,] [that there should be] no persecutions [among them,] [that there should be] [an equality] [among all] men; [that they should let] no pride [nor haughtiness] disturb [their peace;]

Mosiah 11:154 [LDS 27:4]
[That every] man [should esteem] [his neighbor] [as himself,] laboring with [their own hands] [for their support;]

Mosiah 11:155 [LDS 27:5]
Yea, [and all] [their priests] [and teachers] [should labor] with [their own hands] [for their support,] [in <all> cases] save [it were in sickness,] [or in <much> want:] [and doing] these things [they did abound] [in the grace] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:156 [LDS 27:6]
[And there began] [to be] much peace again [in the land;] [and the people] began [to be] very numerous, [and began] [to scatter abroad] upon [the face] [of the earth;]

Mosiah 11:157 [LDS 27:6]
Yea, [on the north] [and on the south,] [on the east] [and on the west,] building large cities [and villages] [in all] quarters [of the land.]

Mosiah 11:158 [LDS 27:7]
[And the Lord] [did visit them,] [and prosper them,] [and they became] [a large] [and a <wealthy> people.]

Mosiah 11:159 [LDS 27:8]
[Now the sons] [of Mosiah] [were numbered] among [the unbelievers;] [and also] one [of the sons] [of Alma] [was numbered] [among them,] [he being called] Alma, [after his father;] [nevertheless he became] [a <very> <wicked> man] [and an <idolatrous> man.]

Mosiah 11:160 [LDS 27:8]
[And he was] [a man] [of <many> words,] [and did speak] much flattery to [the people:] [therefore he led] many [of the people] [to do] [after the manner] [of his iniquities.]

Mosiah 11:161 [LDS 27:9]
[And he became] [a <great> hinderment] [to the prosperity] [of the church] [of God;] [stealing away] [the hearts] [of the people,] [causing <much> <dissension> among] [the people;] giving [a chance] for [the enemy] [of God] [to exercise] [his power] [over them.]

Mosiah 11:162 [LDS 27:10]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that while he] [was going about] [to destroy] [the church] [of God:] for [he did go about] secretly with [the sons] [of Mosiah,] seeking [to destroy] [the church,] [and to lead astray] [the people] [of the Lord,] contrary [to the commandments] [of God,] [or even the king;]

Mosiah 11:163 [LDS 27:11]
[And as I said] [unto you,] [as they] [were going about] rebelling against God, behold, [the angel] [of the Lord] appeared [unto them;] [and he descended] [as it were] [in a cloud;] [and he spake] [as it were with a voice] [of thunder,] which [caused the earth] [to shake] upon which [they stood;]

Mosiah 11:164 [LDS 27:12]
[And so great] was [their astonishment,] [that they fell] [to the earth,] [and understood] not [the words] which [he spake] [unto them.]

Mosiah 11:165 [LDS 27:13]
[Nevertheless he cried] again, saying, Alma, arise, [and stand forth,] for why [persecuteth thou] [the church] [of God?]

Mosiah 11:166 [LDS 27:13]
[For the Lord] [hath said,] This [is my church,] [and I will establish it;] [and nothing] [shall overthrow it,] save [it is] the transgression [of my people.]

Mosiah 11:167 [LDS 27:14]
[And again,] [the angel] said, Behold, [the Lord] [hath heard] [the prayers] [of his people,] [and also] [the prayers] [of his servant] Alma, who [is thy father:]

Mosiah 11:168 [LDS 27:14]
For [he has prayed] [with <much> faith] [concerning thee,] [that thou mightest be brought] [to the knowledge] [of the truth;]

Mosiah 11:169 [LDS 27:14]
Therefore [for <this> purpose] [have I come] [to convince thee] [of the power] [and authority] [of God,] [that the prayers] [of his servants] [might be answered] [according to their faith.]

Mosiah 11:170 [LDS 27:15]
[And now] behold, [can ye dispute] [the power] [of God?]

Mosiah 11:171 [LDS 27:15]
For behold, [doth not] [my voice] shake [the earth?]

Mosiah 11:172 [LDS 27:15]
[And can ye <not> also] [behold me] [before you?]

Mosiah 11:173 [LDS 27:15]
[And I] [am sent] [from God.]

Mosiah 11:174 [LDS 27:16]
[Now I say] [unto thee,] Go, [and remember] [the captivity] [of thy fathers] [in the land] [of Helam,] [and in the land] [of Nephi;] [and remember] how [great things] [he has done] [for them:] for [they were] [in bondage,] [and he has delivered them.]

Mosiah 11:175 [LDS 27:16]
[And now] [I say] [unto thee,] Alma, [go thy way,] [and seek] [to destroy] [the church] no more, [that their prayers] [may be answered;] [and this] [even if] [[thou wilt [of thyself] be cast off.]]

Mosiah 11:176 [LDS 27:17]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that these] [were the <last> words] which [the angel] spake unto Alma, [and he departed.]

Mosiah 11:177 [LDS 27:18]
[And now] Alma, [and those that were] [with him,] fell again [to the earth,] for great was [their astonishment;] for [with their own eyes] [they had beheld] [an angel] [of the Lord;] [and his voice] was [as thunder,] which shook [the earth;]

Mosiah 11:178 [LDS 27:18]
[And they knew] that [there was nothing] save [the power] [of God,] [that could shake] [the earth] [and cause it to tremble,] [as though it would part asunder.]

Mosiah 11:179 [LDS 27:19]
[And now] [the astonishment] [of Alma] was [so great,] [that he became] dumb, [that he could] not open [his mouth;] yea, [and he became weak,] [even that he could] not move [his hands:]

Mosiah 11:180 [LDS 27:19] [Note]
[Therefore he was taken] [by those that were] [with him,] [and carried] helpless, [even until] [he was laid] before [his father.]

Mosiah 11:181 [LDS 27:20]
[And they rehearsed] unto [his father] all [that had happened] [unto them;] [and his father] rejoiced, for [he knew] that [it was] [the power] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:182 [LDS 27:21]
[And he caused that a multitude] [should be gathered together,] [that they might witness] what [the Lord] [had done] [for his son,] [and also] for [those that were] [with him.]

Mosiah 11:183 [LDS 27:22]
[And he caused that the priests] [should assemble themselves together;] [and they began] [to fast,] [and to pray] to [the Lord] [their God,] that [he would open] [the mouth] [of Alma,] that [he might speak;]

Mosiah 11:184 [LDS 27:22]
[And also] [that his limbs] [might receive] [their strength,] [that the eyes] [of the people] [might be opened] [to see] [and know] [of the goodness] [and glory] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:185 [LDS 27:23]
[And it came to pass] after [they had fasted] [and prayed] [for the space] [of two days] [and two nights,] [the limbs] [of Alma] received [their strength,] [and he stood up] [and began] [to speak] [unto them,] [bidding them] [to be] [of <good> comfort:]

Mosiah 11:186 [LDS 27:24]
[For,{incorrect punctuation} said he,] [I have repented] [of my sins,] [and have been redeemed] [of the Lord;] behold, I [am born] [of the Spirit.]

Mosiah 11:187 [LDS 27:25] [Note]
[And the Lord] said [unto me,] Marvel not [that <all> <mankind,>{incorrect punctuation} yea,] men, [and women,] all nations, kindreds, tongues [and people,] [must be born] again;

Mosiah 11:188 [LDS 27:26]
Yea, born [of God,] changed [from their carnal] [and fallen] state, [to a state] [of righteousness,] [being redeemed] of God, becoming [his sons] [and daughters;] [and thus] [they become] [new creatures;] [and unless] [they do] this, [[they can [in no wise] inherit ]] [the kingdom] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:189 [LDS 27:27]
[I say] [unto you,] Unless this be [the case,] [they must be cast off;] [and this] [I know,] because [I was] [like to be cast off.]

Mosiah 11:190 [LDS 27:28] [Note]
[Nevertheless,{incorrect punctuation} after] [wading through] much tribulation, repenting nigh [unto death,] [the Lord] [in mercy] [hath seen fit] [to snatch me] [out of an <everlasting> burning,] [and I] [am born] [of God;]

Mosiah 11:191 [LDS 27:29]
[My soul] [hath been redeemed] [from the gall] [of bitterness] [and bonds] [of iniquity.]

Mosiah 11:192 [LDS 27:29]
I was [in the <darkest> abyss;] [but now] [I behold] [the <marvelous> light] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:193 [LDS 27:29] [Note]
[My soul] [was wrecked] [with <eternal> torment;] [but I am snatched,] [and my soul] [is pained] no more.

Mosiah 11:194 [LDS 27:30]
[I rejected] [my Redeemer,] [and denied] [that which] [had been spoken of] [by our fathers;]

Mosiah 11:195 [LDS 27:30]
[But now] [that they may foresee] [that he will come,] [and that he remembereth] every creature [of his creating;]

Mosiah 11:196 [LDS 27:30]
[He will make himself manifest] unto all; yea, every knee [shall bow,] [and every] tongue confess [before him.]

Mosiah 11:197 [LDS 27:31]
[Yea,{incorrect punctuation} even] [at the last] day, when all men [shall stand] [to be judged] [of him,] [then shall they confess] [that he] [is God;]

Mosiah 11:198 [LDS 27:31]
[Then shall they confess,] who live without God [in the world,] [that the judgment] [of an <everlasting> punishment] [is just] [upon them;]

Mosiah 11:199 [LDS 27:31]
[And they shall quake,] [and tremble,] [and shrink] beneath [the glance] [of his all-] searching eye.

Mosiah 11:200 [LDS 27:32]
[And now] [it came to pass] [that Alma] began from this time forward, [to teach] [the people,] [and those who] were [with Alma] [at the time] [the angel] appeared [unto them:]

Mosiah 11:201 [LDS 27:32]
Traveling [round about] [through all] [the land,] publishing to all [the people] [the things] which [they had heard] [and seen,] [and preaching] [the word] [of God] [in <much> tribulation,] [being <greatly> persecuted] [by those who] were unbelievers, [being smitten] [by many] [of them;]

Mosiah 11:202 [LDS 27:33]
[But notwithstanding] all this, [they did impart] much consolation [to the church,] confirming [their faith,] [and exhorting them] [with longsuffering] [and <much> travail,] [to keep] [the commandments] [of God.]

Mosiah 11:203 [LDS 27:34]
[And four] [of them] [were the sons] [of Mosiah;] [and their names] [were Ammon,] [and Aaron,] [and Omner,] [and Himni;] these [were the names] [of the sons] [of Mosiah.]

Mosiah 11:204 [LDS 27:35]
[And they traveled] [throughout all] [the land] [of Zarahemla,] [and among] all [the people] who [were under] [the reign] [of King] Mosiah, zealously striving [to repair] all [the injuries] which [they had done] [to the church:]

Mosiah 11:205 [LDS 27:35]
Confessing all [their sins,] [and publishing] all [the things] which [they had seen,] [and explaining] [the prophecies] [and the scriptures] [to all] [who desired] [to hear them:]

Mosiah 11:206 [LDS 27:36]
[And thus] [they were] instruments [in the hands] [of God,] [in bringing] many [to the knowledge] [of the truth,] yea, [to the knowledge] [of their Redeemer.]

Mosiah 11:207 [LDS 27:37]
[And how] [blessed are they!] For [they did publish] peace; [they did publish] [good tidings] [of good;] [and they did declare] [unto the people] [that the Lord] reigneth.
