He Used Plain Language—Argument is good in its place, but far more can be accomplished by simple explanations of the Word of God. The lessons of Christ were illustrated so clearly that the most ignorant could readily comprehend them. Jesus did not use long and difficult words in His discourses; He used plain language, adapted to the minds of the common people. He went no further into the subject He was expounding than they were able to follow Him.—Gospel Workers, 169 (1915). {2MCP 574.1}

Han brugte et enkelt sprog — Argumenter er gode nok til sin plads, men langt mere kan udrettes ved en enfoldig forklaring af Guds Ord. Kristi lærdomme blev så tydelig illustreret at de mest uvidende let kunne forstå dem. Jesus brugte ikke lange og vanskelige ord i sine taler; han brugte et enkelt sprog som var tilpasset efter jævne menneskets fatteevne. Han trængte ikke længere ind i de emner han fremholdt end at de var i stand til at følge ham. — Evangeliets tjenere, 169 (1915).
