34:38 That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye
receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ; that ye humble
yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye
may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving
daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon
you.
34:39 Yea, and I also exhort you, my brethren, that ye be watchful unto
prayer continually, that ye may not be led away by the temptations of
the devil, that he may not overpower you, that ye may not become his
subjects at the last day; for behold, he rewardeth you no good thing.
34:40 And now my beloved brethren, I would exhort you to have patience,
and that ye bear with all manner of afflictions; that ye do not revile
against those who do cast you out because of your exceeding poverty,
lest ye become sinners like unto them;
34:41 But that ye have patience, and bear with those afflictions, with
a firm hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions.
Alma Chapter 35
35:1 Now it came to pass that after Amulek had made an end of these
words, they withdrew themselves from the multitude and came over into
the land of Jershon.
35:2 Yea, and the rest of the brethren, after they had preached the
word unto the Zoramites, also came over into the land of Jershon.
35:3 And it came to pass that after the more popular part of the
Zoramites had consulted together concerning the words which had been
preached unto them, they were angry because of the word, for it did
destroy their craft; therefore they would not hearken unto the words.
35:4 And they sent and gathered together throughout all the land all
the people, and consulted with them concerning the words which had been
spoken.
35:5 Now their rulers and their priests and their teachers did not let
the people know concerning their desires; therefore they found out
privily the minds of all the people.
35:6 And it came to pass that after they had found out the minds of all
the people, those who were in favor of the words which had been spoken
by Alma and his brethren were cast out of the land; and they were many;
and they came over also into the land of Jershon.
35:7 And it came to pass that Alma and his brethren did minister unto
them.
35:8 Now the people of the Zoramites were angry with the people of
Ammon who were in Jershon, and the chief ruler of the Zoramites, being
a very wicked man, sent over unto the people of Ammon desiring them
that they should cast out of their land all those who came over from
them into their land.
35:9 And he breathed out many threatenings against them. And now the
people of Ammon did not fear their words; therefore they did not cast
them out, but they did receive all the poor of the Zoramites that came
over unto them; and they did nourish them, and did clothe them, and did
give unto them lands for their inheritance; and they did administer
unto them according to their wants.
