Oh, how many things have developed since he became so full of hatred against God because his dangers and wrongs were brought before him! He has allowed wicked thoughts to strengthen and prevail because, day by day, he has not eaten of the flesh and drunk of the blood of the Son of God, because he has not become a partaker of the divine nature. The things which come from within defile the man. How corrupt then must be the source from which these evils have taken their rise! {TM 409.1}

Oh, så mange ting har udviklet sig siden han blev så fuld af had mod Gud fordi hans farer og fejl er blevet fremstillet for ham! Han har tilladt onde tanker at styrkes og få overhånd, fordi han, dag for dag, ikke har spist og drukket af Guds søns blod, fordi han ikke er blevet en deltager af den guddommelige natur. Ting som kommer indefra besmitter mennesket. Hvor fordærvet vil så den kilde ikke være hvor disse onder har taget deres begyndelse!
