Helaman 5:44
1830 Edition
And Nephi and Lehi was in the midst of them; yea, they were encircled about; yea, they were as if in the midst of a flaming fire, yet it did harm them not, neither did it take hold upon the walls of the prison; and they were filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory.

And Nephi and Lehi wasere in the midst of them; yea, they were encircled about; yea, they were as if in the midst of a flaming fire, yet it did harm them not, neither did it take hold upon the walls of the prison; and they were filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory.
Simple English
Nephi and Lehi were in the middle of them. They were surrounded too. They were like they were in the middle of a burning fire. But it did not hurt them. It did not burn the prison walls. They were filled with joy that cannot be described. They were full of glory.
Paraphrase
Nephi and Lehi were in the middle of them, surrounded by fire. They looked like they were standing in the middle of flames—yet the fire didn’t hurt them at all. It didn’t even touch the prison walls. They were filled with joy beyond words, joy full of glory.
