Le sermon d’Alma à l’église de Zarahemla

La Nécessité du Repentir

Alma 5:50

Les extrémités de la terre sont appelées à la repentance.

Yea, thus saith the Spirit:

‘Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand; yea, the Son of God cometh in his glory, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion.’

Alma 5:50

Le royaume des cieux va bientôt rayonner parmi tous.

Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith:

‘Behold the glory of the King of all the earth; and also the King of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men.’

Alma 5:51

L’esprit a commandé à Alma de prêcher la repentance.

And also the Spirit saith unto me, yea, crieth unto me with a mighty voice, saying:

‘Go forth and say unto this people—Repent, for except ye repent ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of heaven.’

Alma 5:52

Le Seigneur dit que tous ceux qui ne produisent pas de bons fruits seront détruits.

And again I say unto you, the Spirit saith:

‘Behold, the ax is laid at the root of the tree; therefore every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down and cast into the fire, yea, a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire. Behold, and remember, the Holy One hath spoken it.’
