Your sister has a positive temperament. She has a work to do for herself in this respect. She should be more yielding, but you must not expect to exert a beneficial influence over her while you are so exacting and so lacking in love and sympathy toward one who bears to you the close relationship of a sister and is also united with you in the faith. You have both erred. You have both given room to the enemy, and self has had much to do with your feelings and actions in regard to each other. {4T 64.2}

Din søster har et stort temperament. I denne henseende har hun et arbejde at gøre for sig selv. Hun burde være mere bøjelig, men du må ikke forvente at udvise en gavnlig indflydelse over hende, når du er så streng og så mangelfuld i kærlighed og forståelse mod een du er så tæt knyttet som en søster og også er forenet med i troen. I begår begge fejl. I har begge givet plads for fjenden og selvet har haft meget at gøre med dine følelser og handlinger over for andre.
