I was shown that, notwithstanding you have before you the sad experience and example of others who have become disaffected and have murmured and been faultfinding and jealous of us, you would fail to be warned by their example, and God would test your fidelity and reveal the secrets of your hearts. Your distrust, suspicions, and jealousies would be revealed, and your weaknesses exposed, that you might see them and understand yourselves, if you would. {3T 312.2}

Jeg fik vist at I, selvom I havde fået vist andres sørgelige eksempel og erfaring som var blevet fjendtligt stemte og har knurret og kværuleret over os, ikke ville blive advaret ved deres eksempel og Gud ville prøve jeres troskab og afsløre jeres hjerters hemmeligheder. Jeres mistro, anelser og skinsyge ville afsløres og jeres svaghed blive vist, så I kan se dem og forstå jer selv, hvis I ville.
