Counsel to a Wife Regarding Personal Relationships—I am instructed by the Lord to say to you, “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able” (Luke 13:24). The Lord asks you to keep close to Him. Speak as He would speak, and act as He would act. Do not let anyone prejudice your mind and lead you to speak unadvisedly. Keep your own soul pure and clear and your thoughts elevated and sanctified. Do not praise or exalt people to their injury, neither be hasty to condemn those whom you think are not acting wisely. Let all see that you love Jesus and trust in Him. Give your husband and your believing and unbelieving friends evidence that you desire them to see the beauty of truth. But do not show that painful, worrying anxiety which often spoils a good work.—Lt 145, 1900. {2MCP 435.3}

Råd til en hustru om personligt forhold — Jeg er instrueret af Herren til at sige til dig: ”Kæmp for at komme ind gennem den snævre port; for jeg siger jer: Mange skal stræbe efter at komme ind, men de vil ikke kunne.” (Luk. 13,24). Herren beder dig holde sig tæt til Ham. Tal sådan som han vil tale, og gør det han vil gøre. Lad ingen fordømme dit sind og tal ikke uklogt. Hold din egen sjæl ren og klar og dine tanker ophøjet og helligede. Ros og ophøj ikke mennesker så de lider skade, ikke så overilede at de fordømmes som du mener ikke handler klogt. Lad alle se at du elsker Jesus og stoler på Ham. Giv din mand og dine troende og ikke-troende venner bevis for at du ønsker at de skal se sandhedens skønhed. Men vis ikke den smertelige, og bekymrende iver, som ofte ødelægger et godt arbejde. — Brev 145, 1900.
