Providing for Use of Entrusted Means—Brother L is a steward of God. He has been entrusted with means and should be awake to his duty and render to God the things that are God’s. He should not fail to understand the claims that God has upon him. While he lives and has his reasoning powers, he should improve the opportunity of appropriating the property that God has entrusted to him, instead of leaving it for others to use and appropriate after the close of his life.—Testimonies for the Church 2:675 (1871). {2MCP 750.1}

Brug af betroede midler — Bror L er en Guds forvalter. Han er blevet betroet midler og bør være vågen for hans opgave og give Gud de ting der er Guds. Han bør ikke undlade at forstå de krav Gud har på ham. Medens han lever og har sin fornuftige sans, bør han udnytte anledningerne og tilegne sig de ejendomme som Gud har betroet ham, i stedet for at overlade dem til andres brug og anvende dem efter hans livs afslutning. — Vidnesbyrd for menigheden 2:675 (1871).
