He must train his mind to good works. He must brace against his propensity to acquire. He must weave good works into all his life. He must cultivate a love for doing good and get above the little, penurious spirit which he has fostered.—Testimonies for the Church 2:237, 238 (1869). {2MCP 594.3}

Han må oplære sit sind til gode gerninger. Han må træne sig i ikke at erhverve sig ting. Han må flette gode gerninger ind i sit liv. Han må opelske en kærlighed for at gøre godt og overvinde den lille gerrighed han har opfostret. — Vidnesbyrd for menigheden 2:237, 238 (1869).
