God has been displeased with Sabbathkeepers for their avaricious spirit. Their desire to get gain is so strong that they have taken advantage of poor, unfortunate brethren in their distress and have added to their own already abundant means, while these poorer brethren have suffered for the same means. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” is the language of their hearts. {1T 535.1}

Gud blev mishaget af sabbatsholdere for deres havesyge ånd. Deres ønske om vinding er så stærk at de udnyttede deres fattige uheldige brødre i deres lidelse og lagde dette til deres egen allerede overfyldte kamre, skønt disse fattigere brødre led efter de samme midler. »Skal jeg vogte min broder?« vil deres hjerters sprog være.
