Alma 24:18  
 18 And this they did, it being in their view a testimony to God, and also to men, that they anever would use weapons again for the shedding of man's blood; and this they did, vouching and bcovenanting with God, that rather than shed the blood of their brethren they would cgive up their own lives; and rather than take away from a brother they would give unto him; and rather than spend their days in idleness they would labor abundantly with their hands.
