Alma 39:9
1830 Edition
Now my son, I would that ye should repent, and forsake your sins, and go no more after the lusts of your eyes, but cross yourself in all these things; for except ye do this, ye can in no wise inherit the Kingdom of God. O remember, and take it upon you, and cross your self in these things.

Now my son, I would that ye should repent, and forsake your sins, and go no more after the lusts of your eyes, but cross yourself in all these things; for except ye do this, ye can in no wise inherit the Kkingdom of God. Oh, remember, and take it upon you, and cross your self in these things.
Simple English
My son, I want you to change and stop doing these sins. Don’t follow the bad desires you see. You must control yourself in all these things. If you don’t do this, you cannot go to God’s Kingdom. Remember this and control yourself in these things.
Paraphrase
I’m begging you to repent and turn away from your sins. Stop chasing after whatever your eyes desire. Discipline yourself in all these areas, because unless you do, you can’t inherit God’s kingdom. Remember this—commit to it. Discipline yourself in these things.
