Merely to hear or to read the word is not enough. He who desires to be profited by the Scriptures must meditate 60 upon the truth that has been presented to him. By earnest attention and prayerful thought he must learn the meaning of the words of truth, and drink deep of the spirit of the holy oracles.

Det er ikke nok blot at høre eller læse ordet. Den, der ønsker at få hjælp gennem skrifterne, må fordybe sig i sandhederne, som er blevet fremholdt for ham. Ved alvorligt studium i bøn til Gud må han lære betydningen af sandhedens ord.
