“The Lord thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations; and repayeth them that hate Him to their face, to destroy them: He will not be slack to him that hateth Him, He will repay him to his face.” Deuteronomy 7:9, 10. {9T 251.3}

»Så skal du vide, at Herren din Gud er den sande Gud, den trofaste Gud, der i tusinde slægtled holder fast ved sin pagt og sin miskundhed mod dem, der elsker (252) ham og holder hans bud, men bringer gengældelse over dem, der hader ham, så han udrydder ham og ikke tøver over for den, der hader ham, men bringer gengældelse over ham.« 5.Mos 7,9.10.
