Chapter 64—Accountability to God We are accountable to God for the wise improvement of every mental faculty and every physical power. Who can measure his responsibility? We must render an account for the influence which we exert. That which seems to us to be a small defect in our character will be reproduced in others in a greater degree, and thus the influence we have exerted for evil may be increased and perpetuated. {4T 654.1}

(654) Vi drages til ansvar over for Gud, for alle mentale evner og fysiske kræfter udnyttes. Hvem kan måle sit ansvar? Vi må aflægge et regnskab for den indflydelse vi udøver. Det som er for os som en lille mangel i vor karakter, vil, hos andre, gengives i større grad og derved kan den indflydelse vi har udvist for det onde forøges og bevares.
