For your soul’s sake, my brethren, have an eye single to the glory of God. Leave self out of your thoughts as much as possible. We are nearing the close of time. Examine your motives in the light of eternity. I know you need to be alarmed; you are departing from the old landmarks. Your science, so called, is undermining the foundation of Christian principle. I have been shown the course you would surely pursue should you disconnect from God. Do not trust to your own wisdom. I tell you, your souls are in imminent peril. For Christ’s sake, search and see why you have so little love for religious exercises. {5T 97.1}

For jeres egne sjæles skyld, mine brødre, hav Guds ære alene for øje! Tænk mindst muligt på jer selv. Vi nærmer os tidens afslutning. Ransag jeres bevæggrunde i evighedens lys. Jeg ved, I behøver at være ængstelige; I afviger fra de gamle landemærker. Jeres såkaldte videnskab undergraver grundlaget for kristelige principper. Den vej, I visselig ville følge, om I skilte jer fra Gud, er blevet åbenbaret for mig. Sæt ikke lid til jeres egen visdom. Jeg ved, at jeres sjæl er i overhængende fare. For Kristi skyld, ransag og se, hvorfor I har så ringe lyst til de religiøse ting.
