Shared words: the first resurrection

The phrase 'first resurrection' occurs at eight verses in the record: Mosiah 15:21, 15:22, 15:24, 15:26; 18:9 in Alma's covenant sermon at the waters of Mormon; and Alma 40:15, 40:16, 40:17 in Alma's resurrection discourse (corpus-wide the frozen Revelation 20:5 and 20:6 carry the term too -- ten in all); 18:1 states Alma taught 'the words of Abinadi'. Both verses bind the phrase to 'redeemed' and 'eternal life' - Abinadi's coinage carried into the church's founding covenant.
