Alma 61:14
1830 Edition
Therefore my beloved brother Moroni, let us resist evil; and whatsoever evil we cannot resist with our words, yea, such as rebellions and dissensions, let us resist them with our swords, that we may retain our freedom, that we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God.

Simple English
So, my dear brother Moroni, let us fight evil. When we can’t stop evil with words, like when people rebel and turn away, we must stop them with our swords. We must keep our freedom. We must be happy about our church and the work of our Savior and our God.
Paraphrase
“So my dear brother Moroni, let’s resist evil. When words aren’t enough—when we’re facing rebellion and betrayal—let’s use our swords to keep our freedom. Let’s fight for our church, for our Redeemer, and for our God.”
