Retranslation: And the spiritual reasoning was agreeable in the sight of all that were filled with the Holy Ghost: and they chose other divinely-entwined, God-crowned men,-----men that were absolutely filled with divine conviction, those that utterly trusted their entire salvation to God, relying on God for everything, those convinced beyond measure of the truth revealed to them by the sacred spirituality, self-less, faithful to and believing in God and nothing else, those victorious over doubt, those that assented to being elevated and that constantly abode with God,------the messengers of light covenanted with these men to be free to be what God ordained them to be: and they prayed to God,----about the things pertaining to God, desiring nearness to God,---- and, waiting patiently, they received their answer. Filled with the power of the Divine Expression, they superimposed The Answer throughout and upon them all.
