If this work were faithfully done, if fathers and mothers would work for the members of their own families, and then for those around them, uplifting Christ by a godly life, thousands of souls would be saved. When God’s people are truly converted, when they realize the obligation resting on them to labor for those within their reach, when they leave no means untried to rescue sinners from the power of the enemy, the reproach will be removed from our churches. {7T 11.3}

Hvis dette arbejde udrettes redeligt, hvis fædre og mødre ville arbejde for deres egne familiemedlemmer og så for dem omkring dem, opløfte Kristus ved et gudfrygtigt liv, ville tusindvis sjæle frelses. Når Guds folk er sandt omvendte, når de indser, at forpligtelsen at arbejde for dem inden for deres rækkevidde hviler på dem, når de ikke lader midler være ubenyttede for at redde syndere fra fjendens magt, vil skammen fjernes fra vore menigheder.
