If he sees his brethren inclined to do him justice he will be generous to forgive and humble enough to desire peace, even if he has to make great sacrifices to obtain it. But he is easily excited; he is of a nervous temperament. He has need of the subduing influence of the Spirit of God. If those who are ready to censure him would consider their own wrongs and kindly overlook his faults as generously as they should, they would manifest the spirit of Christ. Brother E has a work to do to overcome. His words and deportment to others should be gentle, kind, and pleasant. He should strictly guard against everything which savors of a dictatorial spirit or of overbearing manners or words. {3T 515.3}

Hvis han ser sine brødre er ved at retfærdiggøre sig over for ham, vil han (516) være parat til at tilgive og ydmyg nok til at stifte fred også hvis han skal ofre meget for det. Men han opildnes let; han har et nervøst temperament. Han har brug for Guds Ånds tvingende påvirkning. Hvis dem, som er hurtige til at kritisere ham ville tænke over deres egne fejl og allervenligst overse hans fejl så ædelmodigt som de bør, ville de vise Kristi Ånd. Bror E har et arbejde at gøre med at overvinde dette. Hans ord og opførsel over for andre bør være venlig og behagelig. Han bør vogte sig strengt imod alle ting som smager af diktatoriskhed eller af hoven opførsel eller hovne ord.
