Precepts Given to Guard Decalogue—In consequence of continual transgression, the moral law was repeated in awful grandeur from Sinai. Christ gave to Moses religious precepts which were to govern everyday life. These statutes were explicitly given to guard the ten commandments. They were not shadowy types to pass away with the death of Christ. They were to be binding upon men in every age as long as time should last. These commands were enforced by the power of the moral law, and they clearly and definitely explained that law (The Signs of the Times, April 15, 1875 [Reprinted in The Review and Herald, May 6, 1875]).{1BC 1104.6}

Forskrifterne er givet for at passe på tibudsloven.-- Som følge af fortsat overtrædelse af moralloven blev den gentaget i frygtelig storhed fra Sinaj. Kristus gav Moses religiøse forskrifter, som skulle styre dagligdagens liv. Disse regler blev tydeligt givet for at vogte De ti Bud. De var ikke skyggesymboler, der skulle holde op med Kristi død. De skulle være bindende for mennesket til enhver tid, så lange tiden skulle vare ved. Disse bud blev håndhævet af morallovens kraft, og de forklarede klart og tydeligt denne lov. (Samme., 15. april, 1875 [Genoptrykt i RH 6. maj, 1875]).
