9. Christ’s Poverty a Part of His Great Sacrifice—The apostle called upon them to consider the example of Christ. The Commander of heaven gave Himself to a life of humiliation and poverty that He might stand side by side with the fallen race, to restore the moral image of God in man. The Lord Jesus was willing to become poor, that through His humiliation and His death on the cross He might pay the ransom for us.{6BC 1103.5}

9. Kristi armod er en del af Hans store offer. - Apostlen opfordrede dem til at se på Kristi eksempel. Himlens Befalingsmand gav Sig selv til et liv i ydmyghed og armod, so Han kan stå side om side med den faldne slægt, og genoprette Guds moralbillede i mennesket. Herren Jesus var villig til at blive fattig, som Han, ved Sin ydmygelse og Sin død på korset kan betale løsesum for os.
