Too Indolent to Exercise Faculties—Those who are too indolent to realize their responsibilities and exercise their faculties will fail of receiving the blessing of God, and the ability which they had will be taken away and given to the active, zealous workers who increase their talents by constant use.—Testimonies for the Church 4:458, 459 (1880). {2MCP 604.3}

For magelige til at bruge evnerne — Dem som er for magelige til at erkende deres ansvar og bruge deres evner, vil ikke få Guds velsignelse og de evner som de havde, vil tages bort og gives til aktive, nidkære medarbejdere, som forøger deres talenter under ustandselig brug. — Vidnesbyrd for menigheden 4:458, 459 (1880).
