5:58 For the names of the righteous shall be written in the book of
life, and unto them will I grant an inheritance at my right hand. And
now, my brethren, what have ye to say against this? I say unto you, if
ye speak against it, it matters not, for the word of God must be
fulfilled.
5:59 For what shepherd is there among you having many sheep doth not
watch over them, that the wolves enter not and devour his flock? And
behold, if a wolf enter his flock doth he not drive him out? Yea, and
at the last, if he can, he will destroy him.
5:60 And now I say unto you that the good shepherd doth call after you;
and if you will hearken unto his voice he will bring you into his fold,
and ye are his sheep; and he commandeth you that ye suffer no ravenous
wolf to enter among you, that ye may not be destroyed.
5:61 And now I, Alma, do command you in the language of him who hath
commanded me, that ye observe to do the words which I have spoken unto
you.
5:62 I speak by way of command unto you that belong to the church; and
unto those who do not belong to the church I speak by way of
invitation, saying: Come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye also
may be partakers of the fruit of the tree of life.
Alma Chapter 6
6:1 And now it came to pass that after Alma had made an end of speaking
unto the people of the church, which was established in the city of
Zarahemla, he ordained priests and elders, by laying on his hands
according to the order of God, to preside and watch over the church.
6:2 And it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church who
repented of their sins were baptized unto repentance, and were received
into the church.
6:3 And it also came to pass that whosoever did belong to the church
that did not repent of their wickedness and humble themselves before
God—I mean those who were lifted up in the pride of their hearts—the
same were rejected, and their names were blotted out, that their names
were not numbered among those of the righteous.
6:4 And thus they began to establish the order of the church in the
city of Zarahemla.
6:5 Now I would that ye should understand that the word of God was
liberal unto all, that none were deprived of the privilege of
assembling themselves together to hear the word of God.
6:6 Nevertheless the children of God were commanded that they should
gather themselves together oft, and join in fasting and mighty prayer
in behalf of the welfare of the souls of those who knew not God.
6:7 And now it came to pass that when Alma had made these regulations
he departed from them, yea, from the church which was in the city of
Zarahemla, and went over upon the east of the river Sidon, into the
valley of Gideon, there having been a city built, which was called the
city of Gideon, which was in the valley that was called Gideon, being
called after the man who was slain by the hand of Nehor with the sword.
