The Book of Mormon

2 Nephi 9:41

1830 Edition

O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteousness. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel: and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way, save it be by the gate, for he cannot be deceived; for the Lord God is his name.

Simple English

So my dear brothers and sisters, come to the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his ways are right. The way for people is narrow. But it goes in a straight line. The keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel. He doesn’t use helpers there. There is no other way except by the gate. He cannot be fooled. The Lord God is his name.

Paraphrase

So then, my dear friends, come to the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his ways are right. The path for humanity is narrow, but it runs straight ahead, and the Holy One of Israel guards the gate. He has no assistant there. There’s no other way except through the gate, because he can’t be fooled—the Lord God is his name.
