The Virtue of Christian Courtesy—Paul, though firm as a rock to principle, yet ever preserved his courtesy. He was zealous for the vital points and was not regardless of the grace and politeness due to social life. The man of God did not absorb the man of humanity.— Letter 25, 1870 (HC 236.) {1MCP 45.3}

Dyden ved kristen venlighed. - Paulus bevarede sin venlighed, selvom han var klippefast på principperne. Han var nidkær for de livsvigtige pointer og var ikke hensynsløs over for det passende social-livs gaver og finhed. Gudsmennesket absorberede ikke menneskehedens menneske. - Brev 25, 1870. (HC 236.)
