Alma 43:9

And now the design of the Nephites was to support their lands, and their houses,

and their wives, and their children,

that they might preserve them from the hands of their enemies;

and also that they might preserve their rights and their privileges,

yea, and also their liberty,

that they might worship God according to their desires.

Alma 43:13

And the people of Ammon did give unto the Nephites

a large portion of their substance to support their armies;

and thus the Nephites were compelled, alone, to withstand against the Lamanites,

who were a compound of Laman and Lemuel, and the sons of Ishmael,

and all those who had dissented from the Nephites,

who were Amalekites and Zoramites, and the descendants of the priests of Noah.

Alma 44:4

Now ye see that this is the true faith of God;

yea, ye see that God will support, and keep, and preserve us,

so long as we are faithful unto him, and unto our faith, and our religion;

and never will the Lord suffer that we shall be destroyed

except we should fall into transgression and deny our faith.

Alma 44:5

And now, Zerahemnah, I command you,

in the name of that all-powerful God, who has strengthened our arms

that we have gained power over you, by our faith,

by our religion, and by our rites of worship, and by our church,

and by the sacred support which we owe to our wives and our children,

by that liberty which binds us to our lands and our country;

yea, and also by the maintenance of the sacred word of God,

to which we owe all our happiness;

and by all that is most dear unto us —
