Those who believe the truth should practice economy, live upon plain, wholesome food, always making it a rule to live within their means. Brethren should never engage in new enterprises without consulting those of experience who are good managers in temporal and spiritual matters. By doing this they would save themselves much perplexity. {1T 455.2}

De, som tror sandheden bør udvise sparsommelighed, leve af simpel og sund mad og altid gøre det til deres regel at leve inden for de midler der er. Brødre bør aldrig gå ud i nye arrangementer uden at rådføre sig med erfarne, som er gode ledere i timelige og åndelige sager. Ved at gøre dette vil de spare sig selv for megen forvirring.
