The Book of Mormon

1 Nephi 14:3

1830 Edition

and that great pit which hath been digged for them, by that great and abominable church, which was founded by the Devil and his children, that he might lead away the souls of men down to Hell; yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the destruction of men, shall be filled by those who digged it, unto their utter destruction, saith the Lamb of God; not the destruction of the soul, save it be the casting of it into that Hell which hath no end;

Changes

aAnd that great pit, which hath been digged for them, by that great and abominable church, which was founded by the Ddevil and his children, that he might lead away the souls of men down to Hhell; yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the destruction of men, shall be filled by those who digged it, unto their utter destruction, saith the Lamb of God; not the destruction of the soul, save it be the casting of it into that Hhell which hath no end;.

Simple English

That great evil church founded by the devil and his followers has dug a great pit to lead people’s souls to hell. The Lamb of God says that great pit dug to destroy people will be filled by those who dug it. They will be completely destroyed. But this does not mean the soul will be destroyed, except for being thrown into hell that has no end.

Paraphrase

The deep pit that the great evil church dug to trap people—the Devil and his children founded it to drag souls down to hell—that pit will swallow the very ones who dug it. The Lamb of God says they’ll be completely destroyed. Not their souls destroyed, but cast into that endless hell.
