Brother and Sister P, while you have been making a profession of Christianity you have been keeping back part of the price. You have robbed God of thought and devotion; you have robbed Him of your talents and influence. Your inclinations have been a snare to you. You have not followed the light that God has graciously given you in testimonies; and you have done things that without repentance and reformation on your part will exclude you from heaven. Had you heeded the reproofs sent to you by the Holy Spirit you would now be strong in God and far advanced in Christian experience, and you would have had an entirely different record in the books of heaven. {5T 434.2}

Bror og søster P, så længe I har bekendt jer til kristenheden har I tilbageholdt en del af prisen. I har frarøvet Gud tanker og helligelse; I har frarøvet ham jeres talenter og indflydelse. Jeres tilbøjeligheder har været en snare for jer. I har ikke fulgt det lys som Gud i sin nåde har givet jer i vidnesbyrdene; og I har gjort ting, som uden anger og fornyelse fra jeres side, vil udelukke jer fra himlen. Havde I givet agt på de irettesættelser, der var sendt til jer, ved Helligånden, ville I nu være stærke i Gud og langt fremme i den kristne erfaring og I ville have haft en helt anderledes optegnelse i himlens bøger.
