Outgeneraled by Satan—After what has been shown you in reference to your inclination to be slow and moderate and to allow opportunities to pass by unimproved, you lose time, lose interest, and take things so moderately that Satan outgenerals you again and again. It is no common indifferent work in which you are engaged amid a people estranged from God, and who need the most zealous efforts made in their behalf.... {Ev 646.4}

Overlistet af Satan. – Efter det som er blevet vist jer om jeres tilbøjelighed til at være langsomme, moderate og lade anledninger gå ubenyttede hen, så mister I tid, interesse og tager tingene så moderat at Satan overlister jer igen og igen. Det er ikke et helt ligegyldigt arbejde som I er engageret i, iblandt et folk der er fremmed for Gud, og som behøver de mest nidkære anstrengelser for deres skyld. . . . .
