Simple English

If they are not the words of Christ, judge for yourselves. Christ will show you with power and great glory that they are his words at the last day. You and I will stand face to face before him. You will know that he commanded me to write these things, even though I’m not perfect.

Paraphrase

If you doubt that these are Christ’s words, think it over carefully. Christ himself will show you—with power and blazing glory—that they’re his words on the last day. You and I will stand face to face before him, and you’ll see that he commanded me to write these things, weak as I am.
