The self-sacrificing servant of God who labors untiringly in word and doctrine, carries on his heart a heavy burden. He does not measure his work by hours. His wages do not 356 influence him in his labor, nor is he turned from his duty because of unfavorable conditions. From heaven he received his commission, and to heaven he looks for his recompense when the work entrusted to him is done.

Guds offervillige tjener, der udelukkende arbejder med tale og belæring, bærer på en tung byrde. Hans gerning kan ikke måles i timer. Hans løn har ingen indvirkning på hans arbejde og heller ikke lader han sig bortlede fra pligtens vej af ugunstige forhold. Han har modtaget sit hverv fra Himmelen og i Himmelen finder han sin belønning, når det ham betroede arbejde er gjort.
