If you would do good with your means, do it at once lest Satan get it in his hands and thus hinder the work of God. Many times, when the Lord has opened the way for brethren to handle their means to advance His cause, the agents of Satan have presented some enterprise by which they were positive the brethren could double their means. They take the bait; their money is invested, and the cause, and frequently themselves, never receive a dollar. {5T 154.3}

Hvis I vil gøre godt med jeres midler, så gør det med det samme, så Satan ikke får fat i dem, med sine hænder og derved forhindrer Guds værk. når Herren har åbnet vej for brødrene til at bruge deres midler til hans sags fremme, har Satans agenter mange gange fremført nogle forslag, hvor det var tydeligt for brødrene at de kunne fordoble deres midler. De tager lokkemaden; deres penge investeres og ofte får de ikke en dollar ud af det.
