yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing: unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such, to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it hath been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance.

Changes
Simple English
Only those who are sorry and have faith and do good things and pray without stopping. God lets these people know his secrets. These people will be given the chance to tell about things that have never been told about. They will bring thousands of souls to be sorry for their sins. Just like we brought these brothers to be sorry for their sins.
Paraphrase
'The person who repents, lives by faith, does good works, and prays constantly without giving up—that’s who gets to understand the mysteries of God. That’s who gets to reveal things that have never been revealed before. That’s who gets to bring thousands of people to repentance, just like we’ve been given the chance to bring these brothers to repentance.'
