Transgression Brings Mental and Physical Suffering—Against every transgression of the laws of life nature utters her protest. She bears abuse as long as she can; but finally retribution comes, and the mental as well as the physical powers suffer. Nor does the punishment fall on the transgressor alone; the effects of his indulgence are seen in his offspring, and thus the evil is passed on from generation to generation. {2MCP 570.1}

Overtrædelse fører mental og fysisk lidelse med sig — Ved enhver overtrædelse imod livets love, kommer naturen med sin protest. Den skælder ud så længe den kan. Straffen falder heller ikke på overtræderen alene; virkningen af sin eftergivenhed ses i sine efterkommere, og derved passerer det onde fra slægt til slægt.
