1830 Edition

And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you at that day, When the Gentiles shall sin against my Gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my Gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all these things, and shall reject the fulness of my Gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my Gospel from among them;

Simple English

The Father tells me to say this to you: When the non-Jewish people sin against my good news and reject my full message, they will become proud. They will think they are better than all other nations and people on earth. They will be filled with lies and tricks and mean acts. They will be filled with fake goodness and murder and religious tricks and bad sexual acts and secret evil things. If they do all these things and reject my full message, the Father says he will take his full message away from them.

Paraphrase

the Father commands me to tell you this: When the Gentiles sin against my good news, when they reject everything I’ve offered them, when they become arrogant—thinking they’re better than every nation and every people on earth—when they fill themselves with lies, deceit, cruelty, hypocrisy, murder, religious corruption, sexual sin, and secret evil—if they do all this and reject my good news, the Father says: I’ll take it away from them.
