yea, and there was continual peace among them, and exceeding great prosperity in the church, because of their heed and diligence which they gave unto the word of God, which was declared unto them by Helaman, and Shiblon, and Corianton, and Ammon, and his brethren, &c.; yea, and by all those which had been ordained by the holy order of God, being baptised unto repentance, and sent forth to preach among the people, &c.

Simple English

There was peace among them all the time. There was very great success in the church. This was because they paid attention to and worked hard at following the word of God. This word was taught to them by Helaman, Shiblon, Corianton, Ammon, and his brothers. It was taught by all those who had been chosen by the holy order of God, who were baptized to repent, and sent out to preach among the people.

Paraphrase

There was lasting peace and tremendous growth in the church, because the people carefully listened to God’s word as taught by Helaman, Shiblon, Corianton, Ammon and his brothers, and everyone else who had been ordained in God’s holy order, baptized as a sign of repentance, and sent out to preach among the people.
