The Book of Mormon

Alma 54:18

1830 Edition

And now behold, if ye will lay down your arms, and subject yourselves to be governed by those to whom the government doth rightly belong, then will I cause that my people shall lay down their weapons, and shall be at war no more.

Changes

And now behold, if ye will lay down your arms, and subject yourselves to be governed by those to whom the government doth rightly belong, then will I cause that my people shall lay down their weapons, and shall be at war no more.

Simple English

If you will put down your weapons and let the people who should rule govern you, then I will make my people put down their weapons. We will not be at war anymore.

Paraphrase

So if you lay down your weapons and agree to be governed by those who rightfully should rule, then I’ll have my people lay down their weapons too. We’ll stop fighting.
