If a man in good physical health has property, and has no need of entering into employment for his own support, he should labor to acquire means that he may advance the cause and work of God. He is to be “not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.” God will bless all who will guard their influence in regard to others in this respect (Manuscript 93, 1899).{7BC 912.4}

Hvis et menneske med godt fysisk helbred, ikke har brug for at tage arbejde for at forsørge sig, bør han arbejde for at få midler til fremme Guds sag og arbejde. Han skal "ikke være doven til forretninger; ivrig i ånden; tjene Herren." Gud vil velsigne alle som vil passe på den indflydelse de har over for andre i denne henseende. (MS 93, 1899)
