16. And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send
away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were
athirst, or that were sick, or that had not been nourished; and
they did not set their hearts upon riches; therefore they
were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both
male and female, whether out of the church or in the church,
having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need.
And thus they did prosper and become far more wealthy than
those who did not belong to their church.
Alma 1:30-31

17. "The Lord works from the inside out.
The world works from the outside in.
The world would take people out of the
slums. Christ takes the slums out of
people, and then they take themselves
out of the slums.The world would mold
men by changing their environment.
Christ changes men, who then change
their environment.The world would
shape human behavior, but Christ can
change human nature."
President Ezra T. Benson

18. …willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they
may be light; yea, and are willing to mourn with
those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that
stand in need of comfort, and to stand
as witnesses of God at all times and in all things,
and in all places…
Mosiah 18:8-9
