None should be forward to enter into controversy, but they should tell the simple story of the love of Jesus. All should constantly search the Scriptures for the reason of their faith, so that, if asked, they may give “a reason of the hope that is in them, with meekness and fear.” {Ev 356.1}

Ingen bør gå ind i stridigheder, men de bør fortælle den enkle beretning om Jesu kærlighed. Alle bør hele tiden ransage skriften for deres tros skyld, så hvis de bliver spurgt "altid er rede til forsvar over for enhver, der kræver regnskab af jer for det håb, som er i jer."
