I was shown that you have a deeply rooted love for the world. The love of money is the root of all evil. You flatter yourself that you are about right, when you are not. God seeth not as man seeth. He looks at the heart. His ways are not our ways, nor His thoughts our thoughts. Your great care and anxiety is to acquire means. This absorbing passion has been increasing upon you until it is overbalancing your love of the truth. Your soul is being corrupted through the love of money. Your love for the truth and for its advancement is very weak. Your earthly treasures claim and hold your affections. {3T 243.3}

Jeg fik vist at du har en dyb rodfæstet kærlighed for (244) verden. Kærlighed til penge er roden til alt ondt. Du bilder dig selv ind at du er rigtig på den, skønt du ikke er det. Gud ser ikke som mennesker ser. Din store omsorg og bekymring er at skaffe penge. Denne spændende lidenskab er forøget hos dig indtil den har vejet tungere end din kærlighed for sandheden. Din sjæl er fordærvet ved kærlighed til penge. Din kærlighed for sandheden og dens fremme er meget svag. Dine jordiske rigdomme kræver dig og har din hengivenhed.
