3 Nephi 27:8
1830 Edition
and how be it my church, save it be called in my name? for if a church be called in Moses’ name, then it be Moses’ church: or if it be called in the name of a man, then it be the church of a man; but if it be called in my name, then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon my Gospel.

Simple English
“How can it be my church if it is not called in my name? If a church is called in Moses’ name, then it is Moses’ church. If it is called in the name of a man, then it is the church of a man. But if it is called in my name, then it is my church. This is true if they are built on my gospel.”
Paraphrase
“How can it be my church if it’s not called by my name? If a church is called by Moses’ name, it’s Moses’ church. If it’s named after a man, it’s that man’s church. But if it’s called by my name, then it’s my church—as long as it’s built on my gospel.”
