As a people we must stand as did the world’s Redeemer. When in controversy with Satan in regard to the body of Moses, Christ durst not bring against him a railing accusation. He had every provocation to do this, and Satan was disappointed because he could not arouse in Christ a spirit of retaliation. Satan was ready to misinterpret everything that was done by Jesus; and the Saviour would give him no occasion, not the semblance of an excuse. He would not turn from His straightforward course of truth in order to follow the wanderings and twistings and turnings and prevarications of Satan. {9T 239.3}

Som et folk må vi gå frem som verdens Forløser. Da Kristus stred mod Satan om Mose legeme, vovede han ikke at udtale en spottende dom. Anledningen hertil lå ham fristende nær og Satan blev skuffet, fordi han ikke kunne opirre Kristus til at være hævngerrig. Satan stod færdig til at mistyde alt, hvad Jesus gjorde; men Frelseren gav ham ingen anledning dertil, end ikke det ringeste skin (240) af en undskyldning. Han ville ikke vige fra den jævne sandheds vej for at følge satans fordrejelser, ordkløverier og skiftende taktik.
