Changes

And it came to pass that I, Mormon, did utterly refuse from this time forth, to be a commander and a leader of this people, because of their wickedness and abomination.

From that time on, I completely refused to be a commander and leader of these people. This was because of their evil ways and terrible sins.

Right then I refused to lead them anymore. Their wickedness was too much.
