In the vision given me for B, I was shown that he had a very unfortunate stamp of character. He had not been disciplined, and his temper had not been subdued. He had been permitted to have his own head and to do very much as he pleased. He was greatly deficient in reverence for God and man. He had a strong, unsubmissive spirit and but a very faint idea of proper gratitude to those who were doing their utmost for him. He was extremely selfish. {3T 304.2}

I det syn der er blevet givet mig for B, fik jeg vist at han har et meget uheldigt karakterpræg. Han er ikke blevet opdraget og hans temperament ikke tøjlet. Han har fået (305) lov til at have sine egne tanker og til at gøre lige så meget som det behager ham. Han mangler meget ærbødighed for Gud og mennesker. Han havde en stærk, ukuelighed og kun en meget svag ide om deres korrekte adfærd som gjorde deres yderste for hans skyld. Han var meget selvisk.
