“Let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: ...stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; and in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake.” Verses 27-29. {8T 43.2}

»Kun skal I sammen leve et liv, der er Kristi evangelium værdigt, ..... at I står fast i en Ånd og med en sjæl strider sammen for troen på evangeliet uden i nogen henseende at lade jer skræmme af modstanderne; det er jo for dem et vidnesbyrd om, at de skal fortabes, men I frelses og det er Guds værk. Thi af nåde blev det jer givet for Kristi skyld ikke blot at tro på ham, men også at lide for hans skyld.« Vers 27-29.
