Mormon 7:5
1830 Edition
Know ye that ye must come to the knowledge of your fathers, and repent of all your sins and iniquities, and believe in Jesus Christ, that he is the Son of God, and that he was slain by the Jews, and by the power of the Father he hath risen again, whereby he hath gained the victory over the grave; and also in him is the sting of death swallowed up.

1 Corinthians 15:54-55 (KJV)
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Simple English
Know that you must learn about your ancestors. Turn away from all your sins and bad things you have done. Believe in Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God. The Jews killed him. But God the Father brought him back to life. Jesus won over death.
Paraphrase
You must learn who your fathers were, turn away from all your wrongs, and believe in Jesus Christ—that he is the Son of God, that he was killed by the Jewish leaders, and that by the Father’s power he rose from the dead. He conquered the grave. In him, death itself has lost its sting.
