For a time Paul lost his hold on the minds of those who had been deceived; but relying on the word and power of God, and refusing the interpretations of the apostate teachers, he was able to lead the converts to see that they had been deceived, and thus defeat the purposes of Satan. The new converts came back to the faith, prepared to take their position intelligently for the truth.—Manuscript 43, 1907. {Ev 358.3}

For en tid mistede Paulus sit greb på deres sind, som var blevet bedraget; men ved at stole på Guds ord og kraft, og afvise de frafaldne lærers fortolkninger, var han i stand til at lede de nyomvendte til at se, at de var blevet bedragede, og derved tilintetgøre Satans mål. De nyomvendte kom tilbage til troen, parat til at tage et forstandsmæssigt standpunkt for sandheden. - manuskript 43, 1907.
