The leaven of godliness has not entirely lost its power. At the time when the danger and depression of the church are greatest, the little company who are standing in the light will be sighing and crying for the abominations that are done in the land. But more especially will their prayers arise in behalf of the church because its members are doing after the manner of the world. {5T 209.3}

Gudfrygtighedens surdej har ikke helt mistet sin kraft. På den tid, da menigheden er udsat for den største fare og det største tryk, vil den lille skare, der står i lyset, sukke og jamre over de vederstyggeligheder, der sker i landet. Men i en særlig grad vil deres bønner gælde (210) menigheden, fordi medlemmerne følger verdens skik.
