1 Nephi 15:33
~600–592 BC
1830 Edition
wherefore, if they should die in their wickedness, they must be cast off; also as to the things which are spiritual, which are pertaining to righteousness; wherefore, they must be brought to stand before God, to be judged of their works; and if their works have been filthiness, they must needs be filthy; and if they be filthy, it must needs be that they cannot dwell in the kingdom of God; if so, The kingdom of God must be filthy also.

Revelation 20:12 (KJV)
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Matthew 18:3 (KJV)
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Changes
Simple English
So if they die in their wickedness, they must be thrown out. This also applies to spiritual things that have to do with righteousness. So they must stand before God to be judged for their actions. If their actions have been filthy, they must be filthy. If they are filthy, they cannot live in God’s kingdom. If they could, then God’s kingdom would be filthy too.'
Paraphrase
'If people die in their wickedness, they’ll be cut off from spiritual things. They’ll stand before God to be judged. If their actions were filthy, they themselves must be filthy. And if they’re filthy, they can’t live in God’s kingdom—otherwise God’s kingdom would be filthy too.'
