Do Not Leave Loose Ends—Brother L should have his business all straight and not left at loose ends. It is his privilege to be rich in good works and to lay up for himself a good foundation against the time to come that he may lay hold on eternal life. It is not safe for him to follow his failing judgment. He should counsel with experienced brethren and seek wisdom of God that he may do up his work well. He should now be really in earnest, providing himself “bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not.”—Testimonies for the Church 2:676 (1871). {2MCP 750.2}

Efterlad ikke løse ender — Bror L bør have sine forretninger helt rene og ikke med løse ender. Det er hans privilegium at være rig i gode gerninger og at lægge en god grundvold for sig selv, imod den kommende tid, så han kan give det evige liv. Det er ikke sikkert for ham at følge hans svigtende dømmekraft. Han bør rådføre sig med erfarne brødre og søge Guds visdom, så han kan gøre sit arbejde godt. Han bør nu være virkelig alvorlig for at skaffe sig »punge, som ikke ældes, en uudtømmelig skat i Himlene, hvor ingen tyv kommer nær.” — Vidnesbyrd for menigheden 2:676 (1871).
