The Book of Mormon

Moroni 7:37

1830 Edition

Behold I say unto you Nay, for it is by faith that miracles are wrought; and it is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men; wherefore if these things have ceased, wo be unto the children of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all is vain:

Changes

Behold I say unto you, Nay,; for it is by faith that miracles are wrought; and it is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men; wherefore, if these things have ceased, wo be unto the children of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all is vain:.

Simple English

I tell you, no. It is through faith that miracles happen. It is through faith that angels appear and help people. So if these things have stopped, it will be very bad for people. It will be because they don’t believe. Everything will be useless.

Paraphrase

I tell you: No. Miracles happen because of faith. Angels appear and serve people because of faith. So if these things have stopped, it’s terrible for us—because it means we’ve stopped believing, and everything is meaningless.
