The Book of Mormon

Mosiah 4:18

1830 Edition

But I say unto you, O man, whosoever doeth this, the same hath great cause to repent; and except he repenteth of that which he hath done, he perisheth forever, and hath no interest in the kingdom of God.

Changes

But I say unto you, O man, whosoever doeth this, the same hath great cause to repent; and except he repenteth of that which he hath done, he perisheth forever, and hath no interest in the kingdom of God.

Simple English

“But I say to you: Anyone who does this needs to be very sorry for what they did. If he doesn’t feel sorry and change, he will be lost forever and will have no part in God’s kingdom.”

Paraphrase

But listen: whoever thinks this way needs to repent—badly. If you don’t repent of this attitude, you’ll be lost forever. You’ll have no place in God’s kingdom.
