Deal Gently—Let us not try to work ourselves or others, but let us depend upon the Holy Spirit. Deal gently with human beings. With hearts full of spiritual tenderness, melt your way into convicted hearts. Let your words be dipped in the heavenly oil from the two olive branches. We need the golden oil emptied into prepared vessels, that it may be communicated to those who are seeking for the truth. Ever remember that it is “not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”—Lt 200, 1899. {2MCP 440.2}

Behandle andre blidt — Lad os ikke prøve at arbejde for os selv eller andre, men lad os bero på Helligånden. Behandel menneskevæsener venligt. Smelt din vej med åndelighed og ømhed ind i de overbeviste hjerter. Lad dine ord dyppes i himmelsk olie fra de to olivengrene. Vi behøver at få tømt den gyldne olie i beredte kar, så det viderebringes dem som søger efter sandheden. Husk altid på at det ”ikke er ved magt eller styrke, men ved min Ånd, siger den herre Herre.” — Brev 200, 1899.
