But though the principalities and powers of darkness are both many in number and unceasing in activity, yet the Christian should never feel hopeless or discouraged. He may not hope to escape temptation through any lack of satanic efficiency. He who sent a legion to torture one human being cannot be repulsed by human wisdom or power alone.{6BC 1119.6}

Men gennem mørkets magter og myndigheder er begge mange i antal og i uophørlig aktivitet, alligevel bør den kristne aldrig nære håbløshed eller modløshed. Han skal ikke håbe at gå fri for fristelser hvorigennem der mangler satanisk virke. Han som sendte en legion for at torturere et menneske alene kan ikke tilskyndes af menneskelig visdom alene.
