Alma 13:3 Now the Lamanites of themselves were sufficiently hardened, but the Amalekites and the Amulonites were still harder; Therefore, they did cause the Lamanites that they should harden their hearts, that they should wax
stronger in wickedness and their abominations.
Alma 29:6 And thus when Moroni had gathered together whatsoever men he could in all his march, he came to the Land of Gideon; And uniting his forces with that of Pahoron, they became exceeding strong, Even
stronger than the men of Pachus, which was the king of those dissenters which had driven out the Freemen out of the Land of Zarahemla and had taken possession of the land.
Helaman 2:31 Nevertheless, they did fast and pray oft, And did wax
stronger and
stronger in their humility, And firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, Unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, Yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, Which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.
Helaman 4:47 And it came to pass in the eighty and fifth year, they did wax
stronger and
stronger in their pride and in their wickedness; And thus they were ripening again for destruction; And thus ended the eighty and fifth year.
