The Book of Mormon

Mormon 8:28

1830 Edition

yea, it shall come in a day when the power of God shall be denied, and churches become defiled, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts; yea, even in a day when leaders of churches, and teachers, in the pride of their hearts, even to the envying of them who belong to their churches;

Changes

yYea, it shall come in a day when the power of God shall be denied, and churches become defiled, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts; yea, even in a day when leaders of churches, and teachers, shall rise in the pride of their hearts, even to the envying of them who belong to their churches;.

Simple English

It will come when people say God has no power. Churches will become dirty. They will be proud. Church leaders and teachers will be proud. They will be jealous of people in their churches.

Paraphrase

They’ll come when people deny God’s power, when churches become corrupt and puffed up with pride—when church leaders and teachers are so proud they’re jealous of people in their own congregations.
