Changes

For behold, their wars are exceedingly fierce among themselves; and because of their hatred, they put to death every Nephite that will not deny the Christ.

Simple English

They have very fierce wars among themselves. Because they hate us, they kill every Nephite who will not say that Christ is not real.

Paraphrase

They’re at war with each other—brutal, vicious wars. And because of their hatred, they execute every Nephite who won’t deny Christ.
