The Lord says: I will not show my strength to evil people more than to others. I only help those who stop sinning and listen to my words. So you should know, my brothers, that the Lamanites will be better off than you unless you stop sinning.

Paraphrase

“The Lord says: ‘I won’t show my strength to the wicked, favoring one over another, except to those who turn from their sins and listen to my words.’ Brothers and sisters, listen—things will go better for the Lamanites than for you, unless you turn back.”
