Parents, you profess to be children of God; are you obedient children? Are you doing the will of your heavenly Father? Are you following His directions, or are you walking in the light of sparks of your own kindling? Are you daily working to outgeneral the enemy and save your children from his devices? Are you opening to them the precious truths of the word of God, explaining to them the reasons of our faith, that their young feet may be planted on the platform of truth? {5T 331.1}

(331) Forældre, I bekender at være Guds børn; er I lydige børn? Gør I jeres himmelske faders vilje? Følger I hans anvisninger, eller vandrer I i gnisterne fra jeres egen optænding? Arbejder I dagligt på at overgå fjenden og redde jeres børn fra hans list? Åbner I Guds ords dyrebare sandheder for dem, forklarer dem grundene til vor tro, så deres unge fødder kan plantes på sandhedens platform?
