Search carefully and see whether the truth which you have accepted has become a firm principle with you. Do you take Christ with you when you leave the closet of prayer? Does your religion stand guard at the door of your lips? Is your heart drawn out in sympathy and love for others outside of your own family? Are you diligently seeking a clearer understanding of Scriptural truth, that you may let your light shine forth to others? These questions you may answer to your own souls. Let your speech be seasoned with grace and your demeanor show Christian elevation. {4T 521.3}

Gennemsøg jer og se hvorvidt den sandhed som I har accepteret, er blevet et fast princip for jer. Tager I Kristus med jer når I forlader bedeværelset. Står jeres religion vagt ved jeres læbers dør? Er jeres hjerte draget i forståelse og kærlighed for andre, uden for jeres egne familier? Søger I ihærdigt efter en klarere forståelse af striftens sandhed, så I kan lade jeres lys skinne frem til andre? Disse spørgsmål kan I stille jeres egne sjæle. Lad jeres tale mildnes af ynde og jeres opførsel vise kristen ophøjelse.
