Chapter 37—Severity in Family Government Brother L, Last June I was shown that there is a work before you to correct your ways. You do not see yourself. Your life has been a mistake. You do not pursue a wise and merciful course in your family. You are exacting. If you continue to pursue the course that you have been pursuing toward your wife and children, her days will be shortened, and your children will fear, but not love, you. You feel that your course is in Christian wisdom, but in this you deceive yourself. {2T 253.1}

Bror L: Sidste juni fik jeg vist at der var et arbejde med at rette dine måder. Du ser ikke dig selv. Dit liv er en fejltagelse. I din familie tilstræber du ikke en klog og barmhjertig vej. Du er streng. Hvis du fortsætter den kurs du har fulgt imod din hustru og børn, vil hendes dage afkortes og dine børn vil frygte dig og ikke elske dig. Du føler at din vej er i kristen klogskab, men heri har du bedraget dig selv.
