in us to go against our brethren.
Alma 61:20
20 But ye have said, except they repent the Lord hath commanded
you that ye should go against them.
Alma 61:21
21 See that ye strengthen Lehi and Teancum in the Lord; tell
them to fear not, for God will deliver them, yea, and also all
those who stand fast in that liberty wherewith God hath made them
free. And now I close mine epistle to my beloved brother,
Moroni.
Alma 62
Chapter 62
Alma 62:1
1 And now it came to pass that when Moroni had received this
epistle his heart did take courage, and was filled with
exceedingly great joy because of the faithfulness of Pahoran,
that he was not also a traitor to the freedom and cause of his
country.
Alma 62:2
2 But he did also mourn exceedingly because of the iniquity of
those who had driven Pahoran from the judgment-seat, yea, in fine
because of those who had rebelled against their country and also

those dissenters who had driven the freemen out of the land of
Zarahemla and had taken possession of the land.
Alma 62:7
7 And it came to pass that Moroni and Pahoran went down with

Alma 62:8
8 And behold, Pachus was slain and his men were taken prisoners,

Alma 62:9
9 And the men of Pachus received their trial, according to the
