Mosiah 27:16
1830 Edition
Now I say unto thee, Go, and remember the captivity of thy fathers in the land of Helam, and in the land of Nephi; and remember how great things he hath done for them: for they were in bondage, and he hath delivered them. And now I say unto thee, Alma, Go thy way, and seek to destroy the church no more, that their prayers may be answered, and this even if thou wilt of thyself be cast off.

Now I tell you, Alma: Go on your way. Stop trying to destroy the church. Let their prayers be answered. Do this even if you yourself will be lost.”

Now I’m telling you, Alma: go your way. Stop trying to destroy the church so their prayers can be answered. Otherwise you’ll be cut off.”
