The Book of Mormon

1 Nephi 9:4

1830 Edition

Upon the other plates should be engraven an account of the reign of the Kings, and the wars, and contentions of my people; wherefore, these plates are, for the more part, of the ministry; and the other plates are, for the more part, of the reign of the Kings, and the wars, and contentions of my people.

Changes

Upon the other plates should be engraven an account of the reign of the Kkings, and the wars, and contentions of my people; wherefore, these plates are, for the more part, of the ministry; and the other plates are, for the more part, of the reign of the Kkings, and the wars, and contentions of my people.

Simple English

The other plates should tell about the kings who ruled, the wars, and the fights of my people. So these plates are mostly about ministry. The other plates are mostly about kings, wars, and fights.

Paraphrase

The other plates tell about our kings, wars, and conflicts. These plates focus mostly on spiritual matters, while those focus mostly on our rulers and battles.
