1830 Edition

Simple English

I tell you the truth. If all people had been like Moroni, and were like him, and always would be like him, the powers of hell would have been shaken forever. The Devil would never have power over people’s hearts.

Paraphrase

I’m telling you the truth: If everyone who ever lived—past, present, and future—were like Moroni, the powers of hell itself would be forever shaken. The devil would have no hold over the hearts of humanity.
