For some time your feet have been turned from the path of rectitude and purity. You know that your course has been displeasing to God, that you are transgressing His holy law; you know that these things cannot be hid. God will not permit His people to be deceived in your case. Your great sin is in enlisting the sympathies of those who do not understand your crooked course, and by thus doing dividing the judgment of the people who profess the truth. We pity you. My heart aches for you. I see nothing before you but perdition, nothing but utter shipwreck of faith. {2T 302.3}

I nogen tid har dine fødder været vendt fra retskaffenhedens og renhedens sti. Du ved at din fremgangsmåde har mishaget Gud, at du overtræder hans hellige lov; (303) du ved at disse ting ikke kan skjules. I dit tilfælde vil Gud ikke lade sit folk bedrage. Din store synd består i at benytte dig af deres forståelse som ikke forstår dine krogede veje og derved splitte det sandhedsbekendende folks dømmekraft. Vi ynkedes over dig. Mit hjerte smertes for dig. For dig ser jeg intet andet end undergang, intet andet end et fuldkomment troens skibbrud.
