4 (see EGW comment on Genesis 3:24). Deviation More Grievous Than Death—[Matthew 4:4 quoted.] He told Satan that in order to prolong life, obedience to God’s requirements was more essential than temporal food. To pursue a course of deviation from the purposes of God, in the smallest degree, would be more grievous than hunger or death (Redemption: or The First Advent of Christ, page 48).{5BC 1083.2}

4 (se EGW til 1. Mos. 3,24). Fravigelse er værre end døden. - [Matt. 4,4 citeret.] Han fortalte Satan at for at kunne forlænge livet, var lydighed mod Guds krav vigtigere end timelig mad. Afviges der i mindste grad fra Guds hensigter, vil det være mere fatalt end sultedøden (Genløsning, eller Kristi første komme , s. 48).
