Christ does not drive but draws men unto Him. The only compulsion which He employs is the constraint of love. When the church begins to seek for the support of secular power, it is evident that she is devoid of the power of Christ--the constraint of divine love.

Kristus driver ikke menneskene til sig; han drager dem. Det eneste tvangsmiddel, han benytter, er kærlighedens tvang. Når kirken begynder at søge støtte hos den borgerlige magt, er det åbenbart, at den er blottet for Kristi kraft den guddommelige kærligheds tvingende magt.
