15. Eden, Heaven in Miniature—Adam had themes for contemplation in the works of God in Eden, which was heaven in miniature. God did not form man merely to contemplate His glorious works; therefore, He gave him hands for labor, as well as a mind and heart for contemplation. If the happiness of man consisted in doing nothing, the Creator would not have given Adam his appointed work. Man was to find happiness in labor, as well as in meditation (Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 7, 8).{1BC 1082.3}

15. Eden, miniature af himlen.--Adam havde temaer til at betragte Guds værker i Eden, som var himlen i miniature. Gud formede ikke blot mennesket for at betragte Hans herlige værker; derfor gav Han ham hænder til at arbejde med, såvel som et sind og hjerte til at betragte med. Hvis menneskets lykke var at ikke at gøre noget, ville Skaberen ikke give dem deres tilrettelagte arbejde. Mennesket skulle finde lykke i arbejde, såvel som i meditation.(Samme, 7, 8).
