There are many in the college who need a thorough conversion. Let none seek to discern the mote that is in their brother’s eye, when they have a beam in their own eye. Each should cleanse his own soul-temple from its defilement. Let envy and jealousy go with the accumulated rubbish. Exalted privileges and heavenly attainments, purchased for us at an immense cost, are freely presented for our acceptance. God holds us individually accountable for the measure of light and privileges He has given us. And if we refuse to render unto God the improvement of the talents committed to our trust we forfeit His favor. {5T 92.2}

Der er mange på colleget som behøver en grundig omvendelse. Lad ingen forsøge at se splinten i din broders øje, når de har en bjælke i deres eget øje: Enhver bør rense sit eget sjæletempel fra dets besmittelse. Lad misundelse og jalousi gå sammen med det ophobede skrald. Ophøjede privilegier og himmelske evner, købt til os for en uendelig omkostning, gives os frit for vor antagelse af det. Gud holder os hver især ansvarlig for det mål af lys og privilegier han har givet os. Og hvis vi nægter at give Gud forøgelsen af de talenter, han har betroet os, forspildes vi hans gunst.
