      Alma 5:30

       30 And again I say unto you, is there one among you that doth

       make a mock of his brother, or that heapeth upon him

       persecutions?

      Alma 5:31

       31 Wo unto such an one, for he is not prepared, and the time is

       at hand that he must repent or he cannot be saved!

      Alma 5:32

       32 Yea, even wo unto all ye workers of iniquity; repent, repent,

       for the Lord God hath spoken it!

      Alma 5:33

       33 Behold, he sendeth an invitation unto all men, for the arms

       of mercy are extended towards them, and he saith: Repent, and I

       will receive you.

      Alma 5:34

       34 Yea, he saith: Come unto me and ye shall partake of the fruit

       of the tree of life; yea, ye shall eat and drink of the bread and

       the waters of life freely;

      Alma 5:35

       35 Yea, come unto me and bring forth works of righteousness, and

       ye shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire—

      Alma 5:36

       36 For behold, the time is at hand that whosoever bringeth forth

       not good fruit, or whosoever doeth not the works of

       righteousness, the same have cause to wail and mourn.

      Alma 5:37

       37 O ye workers of iniquity; ye that are puffed up in the vain

       things of the world, ye that have professed to have known the

       ways of righteousness nevertheless have gone astray, as sheep

       having no shepherd, notwithstanding a shepherd hath called after

       you and is still calling after you, but ye will not hearken unto

       his voice!

      Alma 5:38

       38 Behold, I say unto you, that the good shepherd doth call you;

       yea, and in his own name he doth call you, which is the name of

       Christ; and if ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good

       shepherd, to the name by which ye are called, behold, ye are not

       the sheep of the good shepherd.

      Alma 5:39

       39 And now if ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd, of what

       fold are ye? Behold, I say unto you, that the devil is your

       shepherd, and ye are of his fold; and now, who can deny this?

       Behold, I say unto you, whosoever denieth this is a liar and a

       child of the devil.

      Alma 5:40

       40 For I say unto you that whatsoever is good cometh from God,

       and whatsoever is evil cometh from the devil.

      Alma 5:41

       41 Therefore, if a man bringeth forth good works he hearkeneth

       unto the voice of the good shepherd, and he doth follow him; but

       whosoever bringeth forth evil works, the same becometh a child of

       the devil, for he hearkeneth unto his voice, and doth follow him.

      Alma 5:42

       42 And whosoever doeth this must receive his wages of him;

       therefore, for his wages he receiveth death, as to things

       pertaining unto righteousness, being dead unto all good works.

      Alma 5:43

       43 And now, my brethren, I would that ye should hear me, for I

       speak in the energy of my soul; for behold, I have spoken unto

       you plainly that ye cannot err, or have spoken according to the

       commandments of God.

      Alma 5:44

       44 For I am called to speak after this manner, according to the

       holy order of God, which is in Christ Jesus; yea, I am commanded

       to stand and testify unto this people the things which have been

       spoken by our fathers concerning the things which are to come.

      Alma 5:45

       45 And this is not all. Do ye not suppose that I know of these

       things myself? Behold, I testify unto you that I do know that

       these things whereof I have spoken are true. And how do ye

       suppose that I know of their surety?

      Alma 5:46

       46 Behold, I say unto you they are made known unto me by the

       Holy Spirit of God. Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days

       that I might know these things of myself. And now I do know of

       myself that they are true; for the Lord God hath made them

       manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this is the spirit of

       revelation which is in me.

      Alma 5:47

       47 And moreover, I say unto you that it has thus been revealed

       unto me, that the words which have been spoken by our fathers are

       true, even so according to the spirit of prophecy which is in me,

       which is also by the manifestation of the Spirit of God.

      Alma 5:48

       48 I say unto you, that I know of myself that whatsoever I shall

       say unto you, concerning that which is to come, is true; and I

       say unto you, that I know that Jesus Christ shall come, yea, the

       Son, the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace, and mercy,

       and truth. And behold, it is he that cometh to take away the

       sins of the world, yea, the sins of every man who steadfastly

       believeth on his name.

      Alma 5:49

       49 And now I say unto you that this is the order after which I

       am called, yea, to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and

       every one that dwelleth in the land; yea, to preach unto all,

       both old and young, both bond and free; yea, I say unto you the

       aged, and also the middle aged, and the rising generation; yea,

       to cry unto them that they must repent and be born again.

      Alma 5:50

       50 Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth,

       for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand; yea, the Son of God

       cometh in his glory, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion.

       Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith:

       Behold the glory of the King of all the earth; and also the King

       of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of

       men.

      Alma 5:51

       51 And also the Spirit saith unto me, yea, crieth unto me with a

       mighty voice, saying: Go forth and say unto this
