I saw that God wants you to turn your attention to yourselves. Try your motives. You are deceived in regard to yourselves. You have an appearance of humility, and this has influence with others, and leads them to think that you are far advanced in the Christian life; but when your peculiar notions are touched, self rises at once, and you manifest a willful, stubborn spirit. This is a sure evidence that you do not possess true humility. {1T 204.2}

Jeg så at Gud ønsker at I skal vende jeres opmærksomhed mod jer selv. Se på jeres motiver. I selv er bedraget. I har et udtryk af ydmyghed og dette har påvirket andre og får dem til at tro at I er langt fremskredet i det kristne liv; men når jeres særlige ideer er berørt, rejser selvet sig, med det samme og I viser en egenrådig og genstridig ånd. Det er et sikkert bevis for at I ikke har sand ydmyghed.
