The Book of Mormon

Helaman 8:24

1830 Edition

And now seeing ye know these things, and cannot deny them, except ye shall lie. therefore in this ye have sinned, for ye have rejected all these things, notwithstanding so many evidences which ye have received; yea, even ye have received all things, both things in Heaven, and all things which are in the earth, as a witness that they are true.

Changes

And now, seeing ye know these things, and cannot deny them, except ye shall lie., therefore in this ye have sinned, for ye have rejected all these things, notwithstanding so many evidences which ye have received; yea, even ye have received all things, both things in Hheaven, and all things which are in the earth, as a witness that they are true.

Simple English

“You know these things. You can’t deny them unless you lie. So you have sinned. You have rejected all these things. You’ve had so much proof. You have everything in heaven and earth as proof that these things are true.”

Paraphrase

“You know all this. You can’t deny it without lying. So you’ve sinned by rejecting it all, despite the overwhelming evidence you’ve been given. You’ve received everything—signs in the heavens and on earth—as proof that it’s true.”
