Book of Mormon Moroni 10:24
"if the day cometh that the power and gifts of God shall be done away among you, it shall be because of unbelief"
Book of Mormon Mormon 9:20
"the reason why he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men is because that they dwindle in unbelief"

Shared words: unbelief

Both name unbelief as the SOLE cause of the gifts/miracles ceasing - and both ends are Moroni's pen (Mormon 8:1): 'done away… because of unbelief' (Moroni 10:24), 'ceaseth to do miracles… because that they dwindle in unbelief' (Mormon 9:20). 'unbelief' by itself is common (50 occurrences across 48 verses in the record -- 2 Nephi 26:15 and Helaman 15:15 carry it twice; 64 verse-lines corpus-wide), so the connection is the shared causal formula [power/gifts/miracles cease -> because -> unbelief], not the word. In-section companion in the same chapter: Moroni 10:19 'never will be done away… only according to the unbelief of the children of men.' moro-fhc-miracles-unbelief is Moroni 7:37 <-> Mormon 9:20 (on faith-hope-charity.md); same Mormon 9:20 verse, different far end (Moroni 7:37 vs Moroni 10:24), no verse-pair collision.
