1830 Edition

and after that these plain and precious things were taken away, it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles; and after it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles, yea, even across the many waters which thou hast seen with the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity; and thou seest because of the many plain and precious things which have been taken out of the Book, which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men, according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God; and because of these things which are taken away out of the Gospel of the Lamb, an exceeding great many do stumble, yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them;

aAnd after that these plain and precious things were taken away, it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles; and after it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles, yea, even across the many waters which thou hast seen with the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity; and, thou seest because of the many plain and precious things which have been taken out of the Bbook, which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men, according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God; and because of these things which are taken away out of the Ggospel of the Lamb, an exceedingly great many do stumble, yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them;.

Simple English

After these clear and precious things were taken away, it goes to all the Gentile nations. It goes across the many waters to the Gentiles who left captivity. You see that because many clear and precious things have been taken out of the Book, which were easy for people to understand according to the clearness that is in the Lamb of God, and because of these things that are taken away from the gospel of the Lamb, very many people stumble. Satan has great power over them.

Paraphrase

“With these truths missing, the book spread to every Gentile nation—even across the ocean to those Gentiles who escaped captivity. Because so many clear truths were removed—truths that anyone could understand—countless people stumble. Satan gained tremendous power over them.”
