Alma 42:11

And now remember, my son, if it were not for the plan of redemption, (laying it aside,) as soon as they were dead, their souls were miserable, being cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Remember, my son, without God’s plan to rescue people, their souls would be miserable as soon as they died. They would be cut off from the Lord.

Remember, son, without the plan of redemption, people would have been miserable the moment they died—cut off from the Lord’s presence.
