Alma 60:25
1830 Edition
and except ye grant mine epistle, and come out and shew unto me a true spirit of freedom, and strive to strengthen and fortify our armies, and grant unto them food for their support, behold I will leave a part of my freemen to maintain this part of our land, and I will leave the strength and the blessings of God upon them, that none other power can operate against them;

Simple English
If you don’t listen to my letter, and come out and show me you care about freedom, and work to make our armies stronger, and give them food to eat, then I will leave some of my free men to keep this part of our land. I will leave God’s strength and blessings with them. No other power will be able to work against them.
Paraphrase
Unless you listen to this letter and show me you truly care about freedom—unless you work to strengthen and supply our armies with the food they need—I’ll leave part of my army here to hold this ground. I’ll leave them with the strength and blessing of God so no other power can touch them.
