Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 4:30
"May the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, protect this people"
Book of Mormon Alma 36:2
"none could deliver them except it was the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"

Shared words: the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob

The full triad 'the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' occurs at four verses in the record: 1 Nephi 6:4 (Nephi's stated authorial intent), Alma 36:2 (Alma to Helaman: the God who delivered the fathers from bondage), 3 Nephi 4:30 (the delivered nation's thanksgiving shout after the robber war), and Mormon 9:11 — where Moroni attaches it to the God-of-miracles argument, a frame distinct from the deliverance framing the paired ends share. (Corpus-wide the frozen New Testament carries the full triad four more times — Matthew 22:32, Mark 12:26, Luke 20:37, Acts 7:32 — eight in all.) The 3 Nephi leg is the triad's first LITURGICAL use - a people crying it 'with one voice' - and its deliverance framing matches Alma 36:2's exactly (deliver/protect the people). This deliverance-invocation is a DIFFERENT construction from the sit-down-with-Abraham-Isaac-and-Jacob kingdom formula (alma-sit-down-patriarchs family) - same three names, different sentence shape; the two chains are not merged. 1 Nephi 6:4's leg named here; near-variants: Alma 29:11 ('the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, did deliver them out of bondage' - one conjunction short of the full string, same deliverance framing), Mosiah 7:19, 23:23 (partial forms).
