The Book of Mormon

Alma 41:7

1830 Edition

These are they that are redeemed of the Lord; yea, these are they that are taken out, that are delivered from that endless night of darkness; and thus they stand or fall; for behold, they are their own judges, whether to do good or do evil.

Simple English

These are the people the Lord saves. These are the ones who are taken out and set free from that never-ending night of darkness. And so they stand or fall. They are their own judges. They choose whether to do good or do evil.

Paraphrase

These are the ones the Lord redeems. These are the ones pulled out and rescued from that endless night of darkness. In the end, people stand or fall because they’re their own judges—they choose whether to do good or evil.
