# Ether 5

*Simple English*

### Moroni’s Instructions About the Sealed Plates

I, Moroni, have written the words I was told to write. I wrote them as I remembered them. I have told you about the things I sealed up. Do not touch them so that you may translate them. You are not allowed to touch them unless God says it is wise.

### Three Witnesses Will See the Plates

You may be allowed to show the plates to people who will help bring this work out. God’s power will show the plates to three people. So they will know for sure that these things are true. Three witnesses will prove these things are true. The three witnesses and this work will show God’s power and his word. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit say this is true. All of this will be used as proof against the world on the last day.

If they turn away from their sins and come to the Father in Jesus’ name, they will be welcomed into God’s kingdom. If I have no right to say these things, you can decide for yourself. You will know I have the right when you see me. We will stand before God on the last day. Amen.
