Young men should be qualifying themselves by becoming familiar with other languages, that God may use them as mediums to communicate His saving truth to those of other nations. These young men may obtain a knowledge of other languages even while engaged in laboring for sinners. If they are economical of their time they can be improving their minds and qualifying themselves for more extended usefulness. If young women who have borne but little responsibility would devote themselves to God, they could qualify themselves for usefulness by studying and becoming familiar with other languages. They could devote themselves to the work of translating. {3T 204.1}

Unge mænd burde uddanne sig ved at lære andre sprog, for at Gud må kunne bruge dem til at bringe hans frelsende sandhed ud til folk af andre nationer. Disse unge mænd kan tilegne sig kendskab til fremmede tungemål, selv medens de virker for syndere. Dersom de benytter tiden godt, kan de udvikle deres evner og opnå en mere alsidig brugbarhed. Dersom unge kvinder, der kun har båret ringe ansvar, ville helt overgive sig til Gud, kunne de uddanne sig til virksomheden ved at læse og sætte sig ind i fremmede sprog. De kunne hellige sig til gerningen som oversættere.
