There is another fact concerning those disciples which is worthy of our attention. Not only were converts won to the truth in Caesar’s household, but they remained in that household after their conversion. They did not feel at liberty to abandon their post of duty. The truth had found them where they were, and there they would remain, and by their life and character testify of its transforming power. The example of those Christians has great weight, from the fact that they had direct intercourse with Paul, and therefore enjoyed the benefit of his instruction and counsel. It teaches that believers are not always to withdraw from positions of difficulty and trial, and place themselves where there would be less temptation or opposition. {LP 298.3}

Der er en anden ting om disse disciple, som vi bør være opmærksomme på. Der blev ikke kun vundet nyomvendte til sandheden i kejserens hus, men de forblev i huset efter deres omvendelse. De følte sig ikke fri til at forlade deres pligt. Sandheden havde fundet dem der hvor de var, og der ville de blive, og bevidne dens forvandlende kraft ved deres liv og karakter. Disse kristne eksempel har stor vægt, ud fra at de havde været i direkte forbindelse med Paulus, og fik nytte af hans undervisning og råd. Det viser os at troende ikke altid skal trække sig ud af deres vanskelige og prøvende stillinger, og sætte sig selv der hvor de fristes mindre eller får mindre modstand.
