Changes

And he saithd unto the children of men,: Follow thou me. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, can we follow Jesus, save we shall be willing to keep the commandments of the Father?

Simple English

He tells people: “Follow me.” My dear brothers, can we follow Jesus unless we are willing to keep the Father’s commandments?

Paraphrase

He tells us: “Follow me.” So here’s my question: can we really follow Jesus if we’re not willing to keep the Father’s commandments?
