Dear friends, you are greatly mistaken. You are not the only sufferers from a wrong course. The society you are in bears the consequences of your wrongs, in a great degree, as well as yourselves. If you suffer from your intemperance in eating or drinking, we that are around you or associated with you are also affected by your infirmities. We have to suffer on account of your wrong course. {2MCP 770.1}

(770) Kære venner, I tager storlig fejl. I er ikke de eneste, der lider under en forkert handlemåde. Samfundet, som I lever i, lider i stor udstrækning lige så vel som I under følgerne af jeres forsyndelser. Dersom I lider som følgerne af jeres uafholdenhed i spise og drikke, påvirkes også vi, som færdes iblandt jer eller omgås jer, at jeres svagheder. Vi må lide på grund af jeres forkerte handlemåde.
