CHAPTER 4

19 And this he did that he ^ahimself might go forth among his people, or among the people of Nephi, that he might ^bpreach the ^cword of God unto them, to ^dstir them up in ^eremembrance of their duty, and that he might pull down, by the word of God, all the pride and craftiness and all the contentions which were among his people, seeing no way that he might reclaim them save it were in bearing down in pure ^ftestimony against them.

Footnotes

19a	Alma 7: 1. 1 Behold my beloved brethren, seeing that I have been permitted to come unto you, therefore I attempt to address you in my language; yea, by my ^aown mouth, seeing that it is the first time that I have spoken unto you by the words of my mouth, I having been wholly confined to the ^bjudgment-seat, having had much business that I could not come unto you.
b	Alma 5: 1. 1 Now it came to pass that *Alma began to ^adeliver the word of ^bGod unto the people, first in the land of Zarahemla, and from thence throughout all the land.
c	Alma 31: 5. 5 And now, as the ^apreaching of the ^bword had a great tendency to ^clead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God. D&C 11: 2. 2 Behold, I am God; give ^aheed to my ^bword, which is quick and ^cpowerful, ^dsharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of both joints and marrow; therefore give ^eheed unto my word.
d	Enos 1: 23. 23 And there was nothing save it was exceeding ^aharshness, ^bpreaching and prophesying of wars, and contentions, and destructions, and continually ^creminding them of death, and the duration of eternity, and the judgments and the power of God, and all these things—stirring them up ^dcontinually to keep them in the fear of the Lord. I say there was nothing short of these things, and exceedingly great plainness of speech, would keep them from going down speedily to destruction. And after this manner do I write concerning them.
e	2 Chr. 35: 6. 6 So kill the passover, and ^asanctify yourselves, and ^bprepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses. Alma 16: 16. 16 And there was ^ano inequality among them; the Lord did pour out his Spirit on all the face of the land to prepare the minds of the children of men, or to prepare their ^bhearts to receive the word which should be taught among them at the time of his coming— D&C 108: 7. 7 Therefore, ^astrengthen your brethren in all your conversation, in all your prayers, in all your exhortations, and in all your doings.
