Doing Good Releases Positive Forces—The pleasure of doing good animates the mind and vibrates through the whole body. While the faces of benevolent men are lighted up with cheerfulness and their countenances express the moral elevation of the mind, those of selfish, stingy men are dejected, cast down, and gloomy. Their moral defects are seen in their countenances.—Testimonies for the Church 2:534 (1870). {2MCP 402.1}

(402) Gode gerninger frigiver positive kræfter — Fornøjelsen ved at gøre godt besjæler sindet og dirrer igennem hele legemet. Medens godgørende menneskers ansigter er oplyst af venlighed og deres udtryk viser den moralske sindsophøjelse, kuldkastes de selviske, karrige mennesker der er nedslåede og formørkes. Deres moralske mangler ses i deres ansigtsudtryk. — Vidnesbyrd for menigheden 2:534 (1870).
