The Lord God of Israel has placed His goods in the hands of unbelievers, but they are to be used in favor of doing the works that must be done for a fallen world. The agents through whom these gifts come may open up avenues through which the truth may go. They may have no sympathy with the work, and no faith in Christ, and no practice in His words; but their gifts are not to be refused on that account. {TM 203.1}

Herren Israels Gud har sine goder i de utroendes hænder, men de bliver brugt til fordel for det som skal gøres for en falden verden. De repræsentanter gennem hvem disse gaver kom kan åbne veje hvor sandheden kan gå. De kan ikke have sympati med arbejdet, og ingen tro i Kristus, og ingen udøvelse af hans ord; og deres gaver vil ikke blive afvist af den grund.
