The course of Christ in dealing even with the adversary of souls should be an example to us in all our intercourse with others never to bring a railing accusation against any; much less should we employ harshness or severity toward those who may be as anxious to know the right way as we are ourselves. {9T 240.2}

Kristi fremgangsmåde i hans behandling af menneskenes modstander står som et eksempel for alle, der omgåes andre; og dette tillader os at ikke udtale en spottende dom over nogen, endsige tale barskt og skarpt til dem, der ligeså oprigtig søger efter sandheden som vi.
