The time has not come for us to work as if there were no prejudice. Christ said: “Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Matthew 10:16. If you see that by doing certain things which you have a perfect right to do, you hinder the advancement of God’s work, refrain from doing those things. Do nothing that will close the minds of others against the truth. There is a world to save, and we shall gain nothing by cutting loose from those we are trying to help. All things may be lawful, but all things are not expedient. {9T 215.1}

Tiden er ikke inde, da vi kan arbejde, som om der ingen fordom fandtes. Kristus sagde: »Vær derfor kloge som slanger og enfoldige som duer!« Matt 10, 16 Dersom I opdager, at I ved at gøre visse ting, som det i sig selv er ret at gøre, hæmmer sagens fremgang, så er det bedst at slutte dermed. Gør intet, som vil hindre andre i at antage sandheden. Der er en verden at redde og vi kan ikke vinde noget ved at afskære os fra dem, som vi søger at hjælpe. »Jeg har lov til alt, men ikke alt gavner.«
