Alma 6
The Church in Zarahemla is cleansed and set in order—Alma goes to Gideon to preach. About 83 B.C.
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
a
ordained
b
priests
and
b
elders,
by
laying
on
his
c
hands
according
to
the
order
of
God,
to
preside
and
d
watch
over
the
church.
2 And
it
came
to
pass
that
whosoever
did
not
belong
to
the
church
who
a
repented
of
their
sins
were
baptized
unto
repentance,
and
were
received
into
the
church.
3 And
it
also
came
to
pass
that
whosoever
did
belong
to
the
church
that
did
not
a
repent
of
their
wickedness
and
humble
themselves
before
God—I
mean
those
who
were
lifted
up
in
the
b
pride
of
their
hearts—the
same
were
rejected,
and
their
names
were
c
blotted
out,
that
their
names
were
not
numbered
among
those
of
the
righteous.
4 And
thus
they
began
to
establish
the
order
of
the
church
in
the
a
city
of
Zarahemla.
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 Nevertheless
the
children
of
God
were
commanded
that
they
should
gather
themselves
together
oft,
and
join
in
a
fasting
and
mighty
prayer
in
behalf
of
the
welfare
of
the
souls
of
those
who
knew
not
God.
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
a
river
Sidon,
into
the
b
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
c
slain
by
the
hand
of
Nehor
with
the
sword.
8 And
Alma
went
and
began
to
declare
the
word
of
God
unto
the
church
which
was
established
in
the
valley
of
Gideon,
according
to
the
revelation
of
the
truth
of
the
word
which
had
been
spoken
by
his
fathers,
and
according
to
the
spirit
of
prophecy
which
was
in
him,
according
to
the
a
testimony
of
Jesus
Christ,
the
Son
of
God,
who
should
come
to
redeem
his
people
from
their
sins,
and
the
holy
order
by
which
he
was
called.
And
thus
it
is
written.
Amen.
