Let those who have used the talent of speech to discourage and dishearten God’s servants, who are striving to advance God’s cause, planning and working to master hindrance, ask God to forgive them for the injury they have done to His work by their wicked prejudices and unkind words. Let them think of the harm they have done by spreading false reports, by judging those they have no right to judge. {8T 84.1}

De, der har brugt deres talegaver til at gøre Guds tjenere, der kæmper for at fremme Guds sag og lægger planer og arbejder for at overvinde hindringer, modløse og forsagte, bør bede Gud om tilgivelse for den skade, de har tilføjet hans værk ved deres onde fordomme og uvenlige ord. De bør overveje den skade, de har forvoldt andre ved at sprede falske rygter og dømme dem, som de ikke havde ret til at dømme.
