10 Yay, remember, remember, your brethren and sisters who fell. One, by one, they fell by the sword, because they refused to stain their own swords, no more, with their family’s blood. Yay, they buried their weapons of war deep into the Earth as a testimony of God to Him. Yay, these righteous men and women would not take up their weapons of war again against their brethren. For, they feared God and would not that they may be corrupted again by that deceitful one against Him. Yay, even they cherished the atonement of Christ, insomuch that they would lose their own lives. Yay, they loved their Savior so much that they sacrificed their own lives for Him. Can ye say that ye are better than they? Nay, ye cannot. 11 Oh, remember, remember, your brethren the Lamanites: even they, who called themselves the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi. Oh remember, ye fools, in how without meeting any resistance, their brethren did slay a thousand and five of them, yea. Ye speak of this in your synagogues, and ye reflect the law of consecration in your temples; yet, knowing all these things, many do still curse and spurn at these thy brethren. Do ye not remember that even the Lamanites were one with Christ, and were blessed for their sacrifice? Yay, even these thy brethren were received into Heaven to dwell with their God (Alma 24: 22). 12 Do ye not remember, how, even in death, the Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s converted their remaining brethren? Yay, when the Lamanites did witness that the Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s would not flee from their swords; Nay, neither did they turn aside; nor did they turn to the right hand or to the left. Nay, but each gave of themselves to their brethren, or rather, they gave themselves to their God; in so much that they allowed themselves to lie down and to perish: each praising their God, yea, even in the very act of death by the sword. Can ye say that ye are better than they? (Alma 24: 23). 13 Oh, ye wicked and perverse generation, remember, remember your brethren, the Lamanites: in how after witnessing this, even they did forbear from slaying their brethren. Yay, even those who slew many, were grieved for their acts by the sword. Yay, their hearts had swollen within them for the cause of death to their brethren, who had fallen by their own swords (Alma 24:24). 14 Yay, even they repented of the things which they had done. They threw down their weapons of war and would not take them up again. Yay, we see that even these remaining Lamanites were stung for the many murders which they had committed to their brethren. They were stung by the much blood on their own hands. Yay, and they fell upon the Earth, even as their brethren, the Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s. 15 When these remaining Lamanites saw the testimony of their brethren, their hearts were swollen with the love of God. Remember how it came to pass that they did praise His name; and they, even those Lamanites, did prostrate themselves upon the Earth as their brethren, relying upon the mercies of those whose arms were lifted to slay them (Alma 24:25)? 16 Oh, remember, remember, your brethren, the Lamanites: in how there was not, yet, even one wicked man, woman, or child, who was slain from among them. Nay, all were righteous and pure through the atonement of Jesus Christ. 17 Yay, and even, in the self-same moment they did bare their testimonies of Him through the shedding of their own blood; even they, those people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi, brought more than a thousand of their brethren to the knowledge of their God. Yay, in the very act of perishing, yea, even in that selfsame hour, did they serve and praise their God; and it was felt by all. Yay, oh remember how the people of God were joined by more than the number of those who had been slain (Alma 24: 27). 18 Thus, we see that the Lord, our God, even that Jesus Christ of Nazareth, can overcome all evil; yea, and in the self-same hour can compel his children to do good. Yay, by allowing, even these, thy brethren to use their own agency, Christ worketh by miracles. Thus, we see that Christ, our Lord, can work a mighty work in many ways, even unto to the salvation of all mankind (Alma 24: 26). 19 Yay, remember, remember, that these things are true. Yay, and even remember all ye these thy brethren, and come even unto Christ, your Lord and Saviour; even Jesus Christ, the One True King. The One and Only Begotten of the Father, who loveth all of his children, every single one. Remember Him, always, in your hearts; Yay, even Christ the Lord, who is no respecter of persons. Yay, even He who alloweth the sun to rise and to set upon all his children who make up the human family. Repent ye, repent ye, all ye children from near and far, and come unto Him: his arms are stretched out still. Come unto Him, and repent of your sins, and trouble yourselves no more.
