And what course shall the advocates of truth pursue? They have the unchangeable, eternal Word of God, and they should reveal the fact that they have the truth as it is in Jesus. Their words must not be rugged and sharp. In their presentation of truth they must manifest the love and meekness and gentleness of Christ. Let the truth do the cutting; the Word of God is as a sharp, two-edged sword, and will cut its way to the heart. Those who know that they have the truth should not, by the use of harsh and severe expressions, give Satan one chance to misinterpret their spirit.—The Review and Herald, October 14, 1902. {Ev 236.2}

Og hvilken kurs skal sandhedens forsvarer udøve? De har den uforanderlige evige Guds ord, og de burde vise at de har sandheden, som den er i Jesus. Deres ord må ikke være rå og skarpe. I deres præsentation af sandheden må de vise Kristi kærlighed, sagtmodighed og venlighed. Lad sandheden selv skære; Guds ord er et skarpt tveægget sværd, og vil skære sin vej til hjertet. Dem som ved at de har sandheden bør ikke, ved at bruge hårde og strenge udtryk, give Satan en chance til at fejlfortolke deres ånd. - Review and Herald, 14. okt. 1902.
