1 Nephi 20:9–11

Nevertheless, for my name’s sake will I defer mine anger,
and for my praise will I refrain from thee,
that I cut thee not off.

For, behold, I have refined thee,
I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

For mine own sake, yea, for mine own sake will I do this,
for I will not suffer my name to be polluted,
and I will not give my glory unto another.
