Alma 20:70 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;
Alma 28:10 In the which alliance, he hath agreed to maintain the city of Zarahemla, which
maintenance he supposeth will enable the Lamanites to conquer the remainder of the land, and he shall be placed king over this people, when they shall be conquered under the Lamanites.
DC 82:1b Women have claim on their husbands for their
maintenance until their husbands are taken; and if they are not found transgressors they shall have fellowship in the church;
DC 82:2a All children have claim upon their parents for their
maintenance until they are of age; and after that, they have claim upon the church; or, in other words, upon the Lord's storehouse, if their parents have not wherewith to give them inheritances.
