"Over the church"

1. Mosiah 26: 8, 38
   
   

     8 Now king Mosiah had given Alma the ^aauthority over the ^bchurch.
         •  •  •
   
   

     38 And now all these things did Alma and his ^afellow laborers do who were over the church, ^bwalking in all diligence, teaching the word of God in all things, suffering all manner of afflictions, being persecuted by all those who did not belong to the church of God.
   

   1. Alma 1
      The account of Alma, who was the son of Alma, the first and chief judge over the people of Nephi, and also the high priest over the Church. An account of the reign of the judges, and the wars and contentions among the people. And also an account of a war between the Nephites and the Lamanites, according to the record of Alma, the first and chief judge.
2. Alma 4: 7, 18
   
   

     7 Now this was the cause of much affliction to Alma, yea, and to many of the people whom Alma had consecrated to be ^ateachers, and ^bpriests, and ^celders over the church; yea, many of them were sorely grieved for the wickedness which they saw had begun to be among their people.

     18 Now Alma did not grant unto him the office of being ^ahigh priest over the church, but he retained the office of high priest unto himself; but he delivered the judgment-seat unto ^bNephihah.
3. Alma 5: 3
   
   

     3 I, Alma, having been ^aconsecrated by my father, Alma, to be a ^bhigh priest over the church of God, he having power and ^cauthority from God to do these things, behold, I say unto you that he began to establish a church in the ^dland which was in the borders of Nephi; yea, the land which was called the land of Mormon; yea, and he did baptize his brethren in the waters of Mormon.
4. Alma 6: 1
   
   

     1 And now it came to pass that after Alma had made an end of speaking unto the people of the church, which was established in the city of Zarahemla, he ^aordained priests and ^belders, by laying on his ^chands according to the order of God, to preside and ^dwatch over the church.
5. Alma 8: 11, 23
   
   

     11 Nevertheless, they hardened their hearts, saying unto him: Behold, we know that thou art Alma; and we know that thou art high priest over the church which thou hast established in many parts of the land, according to your tradition; and we are not of thy church, and we do not believe in such foolish traditions.

     23 And after he had eaten and was filled he said unto Amulek: I am Alma, and am the ^ahigh priest over the church of God throughout the land.
6. Alma 16: 5
   
   

     5 Therefore, he that had been appointed chief captain over the armies of the Nephites, (and his name was Zoram, and he had two sons, Lehi and Aha)—now Zoram and his two sons, knowing that Alma was high priest over the church, and having heard that he had the spirit of prophecy, therefore they went unto him and desired of him to know whither the Lord would that they should go into the wilderness in search of their brethren, who had been taken captive by the Lamanites.
7. Alma 46: 6
   
   

     6 Thus they were led away by Amalickiah to dissensions, notwithstanding the preaching of Helaman and his brethren, yea, notwithstanding their exceedingly great care over the church, for they were ^ahigh priests over the church.
8. D&C 20: 42, 53
   
   

     42 And to teach, expound, exhort, baptize, and watch over the church;
         •  •  •
   
   

     53 The ^ateacher’s duty is to ^bwatch over the ^cchurch always, and be with and strengthen them;
9. D&C 46: 27
   
   

     27 And unto the ^abishop of the church, and unto such as God shall appoint and ordain to watch over the church and to be elders unto the church, are to have it given unto them to ^bdiscern all those gifts lest there shall be any among you professing and yet be not of God.
10. D&C 84: 111
    
    

      111 And behold, the ^ahigh priests should travel, and also the elders, and also the lesser ^bpriests; but the ^cdeacons and ^dteachers should be appointed to ^ewatch over the church, to be standing ministers unto the church.
11. D&C 107: 91
    
    

      91 And again, the duty of the President of the office of the High Priesthood is to ^apreside over the whole church, and to be like unto ^bMoses—
