(1 Peter 2:5; 1 Corinthians 3:11-13.) Some Are Not What They Appear—Many, from worldly policy, endeavor, by their own efforts, to become as polished stones, but cannot be living stones, because they are not built upon the true foundation. The day of God will reveal that they are, in reality, only hay, wood, and stubble (Redemption: or the Teachings of Paul, and his Mission to the Gentiles, 78).{3BC 1154.7}

(1 Peter 2,5; 1 Kor. 3,11-13.) Nogle er ikke det de ser ud til. - Mange, med verdslig baggrund, prøver ved deres egne anstrengelser, at blive lige så velpolerede stene, men de kan ikke blive levende stene; fordi de ikke bygger på det sande fundament. Guds dag vil afsløre hvad de i virkeligheden er, blot hø, træ og stubbe. (Genløsningen: eller Paulus’ lære, s. 78).
