Disobedience has closed the door to a vast amount of knowledge that might have been gained from the Scriptures. Understanding means obedience to God's commandments. The Scriptures are not to be adapted to meet the prejudice and jealousy of men. They can be understood only by those who are humbly seeking for a knowledge of the truth that they may obey it.

Ulydighed har lukket døren for uendelig megen kundskab, som kunne være hentet fra den hellige skrift. Den rette forståelse betyder lydighed mod Guds bud. Man må ikke prøve at tilpasse den hellige skrift efter menneskers fordomme og nidkærhed. Den vil kun blive forstået af dem, der ydmygt søger at kende sandheden, for at de kan være lydige imod den.
