Not consolidation, not rivalry or criticism, but co-operation, is God’s plan for His institutions, that “the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,” may make “increase of the body unto the edifying [building up] of itself in love.” Ephesians 4:16. {7T 174.3}

Ikke konsolidering, ikke rivaliseren eller kritik men samarbejde er Guds plan for hans institutioner så »at hele legemet vokser sin vækst, så det opbygges i kærlighed, idet alle de enkelte led hjælper til at knytte og holde det hele sammen, efter den kraft, der er tilmålt hver enkelt del.« Ef.4,16.
