Your self-confidence has been very great. No sooner has a brother been suggested to lead the meetings, or to take a position of trust in preference to yourself, than you have resolved that he should not succeed if you could help it, and with the might of your perverse will you have set your spirit to oppose. {4T 333.3}

Din tillid til dig selv har været meget stor. Aldrig så snart er en bror blevet bedt om at lede møder, eller tage en tillidspost frem for dig selv, før du har besluttet at han ikke skal have heldet med sig og med din trodsighed vil du sætte dig imod.
