Those who preach unpopular truth in our day are often met by the professed Christian world with opposition similar to that which was brought against the apostle by the unbelieving Jews. Many who make the most exalted profession, and who should be light-bearers to the world, are the most bitter and unreasonable in opposing the work of the chosen servants of God. Not satisfied with choosing error and fables for themselves, they wrest the Scriptures from the true meaning in order to deceive others and hinder them from accepting the truth.{LP 106.2}

Dem som forkyndte den upopulære sandhed i vore dage møder ofte en lignende modstand af den bekendende kristne verden, som kom imod apostlene af de ikke-troende jøder. Mange som giver den mest ophøjede bekendelser, og som bør være lysbærere til verden, er de mest bitre og afsindige til at modsætte Guds udvalgte tjeneres arbejde. Uden at selv vælge sig vildfarelser og fabler, vristede de skrifterne fra sin sande betydning, for at bedrage andre, og forhindre dem at acceptere sandheden.
