The same danger exists today among the people who profess to be the depositaries of God’s law. They are too apt to flatter themselves that the regard in which they hold the commandments will preserve them from the power of divine justice. They refuse to be reproved for evil, and charge God’s servants with being too zealous in putting sin out of the camp. A sin-hating God calls upon those who profess to keep His law to depart from all iniquity.

[Den samme fare er til stede i dag blandt det folk, der bekender sig til at tage vare på Guds lov. De er tilbøjelige til at smigre sig med, at den respekt, de viser budene, vil bevare dem for Guds retfærdigheds magt. De nægter at lade sig irettesætte for det onde og beskylder Guds tjenere for at være for nidkære med at rense lejren for synd. Den Gud, som hader synd, kræver af dem, der bekender sig til at holde hans lov, at de skal holde sig fra uretfærdighed.
