1 Nephi 17:46-47

In verse 46, Nephi is trying to convey to his brothers the abilities of God, in order to help soften their hearts. He tells them that God has the power to make the earth pass away. He has the power to make rough places become smooth and vice versa. Then, because of these things Nephi asks them why they are so hard-hearted.

In verse 47, Nephi tells them that he agonizes over their lack of spirituality. He says that, "my soul is rent with anguish because of you," and, "my heart is pained." He says that he always has the fear that they will be cut off. Then he says something interesting. He says that he is full of the Spirit of God insomuch that his frame has no strength. What does that mean? Well, because of time, we will have to find out tomorrow. I do think that the next verse will help us know what he is saying.
