Chapter 10 9. Saul Became a New Man—The Lord would not leave Saul to be placed in a position of trust without divine enlightenment. He was to have a new calling, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. The effect was that he was changed into a new man. The Lord gave Saul a new spirit, other thoughts, other aims and desires than he had previously had. This enlightenment, with the spiritual knowledge of God, placing him on vantage ground, was to bind his will to the will of Jehovah (Letter 12a, 1888).{2BC 1013.4}

Kapitel 10

9. Saul blev et nyt menneske. - Herren ville ikke efterlade Saul i en ansvarsbetynget stilling, uden guddommelig oplysning. Han skulle have et nyt kald, og Herrens Ånd kom over ham. Virkningen var at han blev forandret til et nyt menneske. Herren gav Saulus en ny ånd, og andre tanker, nye mål og ønsker end han havde før. Denne oplysning, med åndelig gudskundskab, satte ham på fordelagtig grund, skulle binde hans vilje til Jehovas vilje (Brev 12a, 1888).
