Simple English

He taught them many things. Not all of them can be written. Even part of them would not fit in this book. So they are not written here. Nephi taught with power and great authority.

Paraphrase

He taught them many things—far more than could ever be written down. Even a portion wouldn’t fit in this book. Nephi served with power and great authority.
