25-29. God Measures Not by Man’s Standard—Because of the pride and ambition of the children of men, God has chosen to perform His mighty works by the most simple and humble means. It is not the men whom the world honors as great, talented, or brilliant, that God selects. He chooses those who will work in meekness and simplicity, acknowledging Him as their leader and their source of strength. He would have us make Him our protector and our guide in all the duties and affairs of life....{6BC 1083.8}

25-29. Gud måler ikke efter menneskets standard. - På grund af menneskebørnenes stolthed og ærgerrighed, har Gud valgt at udføre Sine mægtige gerninger ved de mest enkle og ydmyge midler. Det er ikke de mænd verden ærer som store, talentfyldte og brilliante, som Gud udvælger. Han vælger dem som vil arbejde i ydmyghed og enkelthed, anerkende Ham som deres leder i alle livets pligter og anliggender. . . .
