14. False Worship Is Spiritual Adultery—All false worship is spiritual adultery. The second precept, which forbids false worship, is also a command to worship God, and Him only serve. The Lord is a jealous God. He will not Be trifled with. He has spoken concerning the manner in which He should be worshiped. He has a hatred of idolatry; for its influence is corrupting. It debases the mind, and leads to sensuality and all kinds of sin (Manuscript 126, 1901).{1BC 1106.3}

14. Falsk tilbedelse er åndelig afgudsdyrkelse. - Al falsk tilbedelse er åndeligt hor. Det andet bud, som forbyder falsk tilbedelse, er også en befaling om at tilbede Gud og tjene ham alene. Herren er en nidkær Gud. Han vil ikke spøges med. Han har talt om den måde, han skal tilbedes. Han hader afgudsdyrkelse; for dens indflydelse er fordærvende. Den fornedrer sindet og fører til sanselighed og alle former for synd. (MS 126, 1901).
