Man Finds Happiness in Labor—Adam had themes for contemplation in the works of God in Eden, which was heaven in miniature. God did not form man merely to contemplate His glorious works; therefore, He gave him hands for labor as well as a mind and heart for contemplation. If the happiness of man consisted in doing nothing, the Creator would not have given Adam his appointed work. Man was to find happiness in labor as well as in meditation.—The Review and Herald, February 24, 1874. (The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 1:1082.) {2MCP 602.2}

Mennesket finder lykke i arbejdet — Adam havde temaer til at betragte Guds værker i Eden, som var himlen i miniature. Gud formede ikke blot mennesket for at betragte Hans herlige værker; derfor gav Han ham hænder til at arbejde med, såvel som et sind og hjerte til at betragte med. Hvis menneskets lykke bestod af at ikke gøre noget, ville Skaberen ikke give dem deres tilrettelagte arbejde. Mennesket skulle finde lykke i arbejde, såvel som i meditation. — The Review and Herald, 24. februar, 1874. (S.D.A. Bibel kommentar 1:1082.)
