1 Nephi 17:3

And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled.

And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God

he doth nourish them, and strengthen them,

and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing

which he has commanded them;

wherefore, he did provide means for us

while we did sojourn in the wilderness.

1 Nephi 17:51

And now, if the Lord has such great power,

and has wrought so many miracles among the children of men,

how is it that he cannot instruct me, that I should build a ship?

1 Nephi 19:9

And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught;

wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it;

and they smite him, and he suffereth it.

Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it,

because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men.
