Reprove and Exhort—There is pastoral work to do, and this means to reprove and exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine; that is, he should present the Word of God, to show wherein there is a deficiency. If there is anything in the character of the professed followers of Christ, the burden should certainly be felt by the minister, and not that he should lord it over God’s heritage. To deal with human minds is the nicest job that was ever committed to mortal man.—Manuscript 13, 1888. {Ev 347.3}

Irettesætte og formane. - Der er et pastoralt arbejde at gøre, og det betyder at irettesætte og formane med al langmodighed og lære; det vil sige at han, ved at bringe (348) Guds Ord, viser hvor der er en mangel. Hvis der er noget i den bekende Kristi efterfølgers karakter, bør prædikanten nære denne byrde, og ikke at han skal tyrannisere Guds arvinger. At have med mennesker at gøre er det bedste job der nogen sinde er betroet mennesker. - manuskript 13, 1888.
