Judas was a religious fraud. He held up a high standard for others, but he himself utterly failed to reach the Bible standard. He did not bring the religion of Christ into his life. How many today are, like Judas, betraying their Lord? Those who follow dishonest practices in business, sacrifice Christ for gain and reveal a wisdom that is after Satan’s order. Speculation for selfish gain will not be brought into the life of the man who has that faith which works by love and purifies the soul (Letter 40, 1901).{5BC 1102.1}

Judas var en religiøs bedrager. Han fremholdt en høj standard for andre, men han selv kunne slet ikke nå Bibelstandarden. Han bragte ikke Kristi religion ind i hans liv. Hvor mange er ikke i dag ligesom Judas, der bedrager deres Herre? Dem som følger uærlige forretningsgange, ofrer Kristus for vindings skyld og afslører en visdom der er efter Satans orden. Spekulation for selvisk vinding, vil ikke komme ind i menneskers liv, som har den tro der virker ved kærlighed og renser sjælen (Brev 40, 1901).
