Alma 30:32
1830 Edition
Now Alma saith unto him, Thou knowest that we do not glut ourselves upon the labors of this people; for behold, I have labored even from the commencement of the reign of the Judges, until now, with mine own hands, for my support, notwithstanding my many travels round about the land, to declare the word of God unto my people.

Alma said to him: You know we don’t take what the people work for. I have worked with my own hands to support myself from the time the judges started ruling until now. This is true even though I’ve traveled around the land a lot to teach God’s word to my people.
