nevertheless, I speak unto you again: for I am desirous for the welfare of your souls. Yea, mine anxiety is great for you; and ye yourselves know that it ever has been. For I have exhorted you with all diligence; and I have taught you the words of my father; and I have spoken unto you concerning all things which are written from the creation of the world.

I will speak to you again. I care about your souls. I worry about you a lot. You know that I always have. I have tried hard to teach you. I have taught you the words of my father. I have taught you about everything written from the beginning of the world.
Paraphrase
But I need to speak again, because I care deeply about your souls. My concern for you is great—you know it always has been. I’ve urged you with everything I have. I’ve taught you what our father taught me. I’ve shared with you everything written since the creation of the world.
