The church should gratefully accept these servants of Christ, even as they would accept their Master Himself. They should seek to derive all the benefit possible from the instruction which ministers may give them from the Word of God. But the ministers themselves are not to be idolized; there should be no religious pets and favorites among the people; it is the truths they bring which are to be accepted, and appreciated in the meekness of humility (Redemption: The Teachings of Paul, pages 74, 75).{6BC 1086.4}

Menigheden burde acceptere disse Kristi tjenere i taknemmelighed, ligesom de accepterer deres Mester selv. De burde prøve at få alle mulige goder fra den undervisning som prædikanterne kan give dem fra Guds Ord. Men prædikanterne selv skal ikke forgudes; der burde ikke være religiøse kæledækker og yndlinge ibland folk; det er de sandheder de bringer som skal accepteres, og værdsættes i ydmyghedens sagtmodigheder. (Genløsningen, Paulus’ lære , s. 74, 75).
