"Of thyself"

  1.   3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
  2.   22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
  3.   13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
  4.   34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
  5.   8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
  6.   16 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 has done for them; for they were in bondage, and he has 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.
  7.   35 Then why sayest thou that we preach unto this people to get gain, when thou, of thyself, knowest that we receive no gain? And now, believest thou that we deceive this people, that causes such joy in their hearts?
  8.   9 And he said unto me: If thou wilt of thyself be destroyed, seek no more to destroy the church of God.

      11 And the angel spake more things unto me, which were heard by my brethren, but I did not hear them; for when I heard the words—If thou wilt be destroyed of thyself, seek no more to destroy the church of God—I was struck with such great fear and amazement lest perhaps I should be destroyed, that I fell to the earth and I did hear no more.
  9.   33 And misery thou shalt receive if thou wilt slight these counsels, yea, even the destruction of thyself and property.
