Alma 4:11-12
It is a truly sad statement when there is not only more pride inside the church than outside it, but when in fact the iniquity and example of the church is leading the rest of the people to do greater and more grevious sins. There was a great inequality among the people of the church. It may be assumed to be a rich vs. Poor inequality, but wealth is not mentioned. This is an inequality of spiritual richness. There is a group who turn to pride and despise the needy and persecute those who do not believe as they do without regard and this group includes many who are not rich along with many who are.
