Alma amplifies Amulek's discourse on mortality with increased detail - he summarized Amulek in verse 12
"Amulek hath spoken plainly concerning death and being raised from this mortality to a state of immortality, and being brought before the bar of God, to be judged according to our works."
Then in response to questions from his audience, he lays out mortal existence in its wider context - carefully balanced between the Fall and the Judgment in history, and between the Fall and the Atonement in choice:
"...all mankind became a lost and fallen people" (v. 22).
"...but there was a plan of redemption laid" (v. 25).
"...men...becoming as gods, knowing good from evil, placing themselves in a state to act, being placed in a state to act according to their wills and pleasures, whether to do evil or to do good" (v. 31).
"...nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent; therefore this life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead" (v. 24).
"But God did call upon men, in the name of his Son...saying: If ye will repent and harden not your hearts, then I will have mercy upon you, through mine Only Begotten Son" (v. 33).
"...he that will harden his heart, the same receiveth the lesser portion of the word; and he that will not harden his heart, to him is given the greater portion of the word, until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God until he know them in full. And they that will harden their hearts, to them is given the lesser portion of the word until they know nothing concerning his mysteries; and then they are taken captive by the devil, and led by his will down to destruction. Now this is what is meant by the chains of hell" (v. 10-11).
"...but it was appointed unto men that they must die; and after death, they must come to judgment" (v. 27).
"Therefore, whosoever repenteth, and hardeneth not his heart, he shall have claim on mercy through mine Only Begotten Son, unto a remission of his sins; and these shall enter into my rest. And whosoever will harden his heart and do iniquity, behold, I swear in my wrath that he shall not enter into my rest" (v. 34-5).
"Then if our hearts have been hardened, yea, if we have hardened our hearts against the word, insomuch that it has not been found in us, then will our state be awful, for then we shall be condemned. For our words will condemn us, yea, all our works will condemn us; we shall not be found spotless; and our thoughts will also condemn us" (v. 13-14).
"And now, my brethren...let us repent, and harden not our hearts...but let us enter into the rest of God, which is prepared according to his word" (v. 37).
