And they came unto Alma; and the one who was the foremost among them
said unto him: Behold, what shall these my brethren do, for they are
despised of all men because of their poverty,
yea, and more especially by our priests; for they have cast us out of
our synagogues which we have labored abundantly to build with our own
hands; and they have cast us out because of our exceeding poverty; and we have no place to worship our God; and behold, what shall we do?
12
I say unto you, it is well that ye are cast out of your synagogues, that
ye may be humble, and that ye may learn wisdom; for it is necessary
that ye should learn wisdom; for it is because that ye are cast out,
that ye are despised of your brethren because of your exceeding poverty, that ye are brought to a lowliness of heart; for ye are necessarily brought to be humble.
15
Yea, he that truly humbleth himself, and repenteth of his sins, and
endureth to the end, the same shall be blessed—yea, much more blessed
than they who are compelled to be humble because of their exceeding poverty.
