Those who preach unpopular truth in our day meet with determined resistance, as did the apostles. They need expect no more favorable reception from a large majority of professed Christians than did Paul from his Jewish brethren. There will be a union of opposing elements against them; for however diverse from each other different organizations may be in their sentiments and religious faith, their forces are united in trampling under foot the fourth commandment in the law of God.{LP 86.2}

Dem der forkynder en upopulær sandhed i vore dage, møder en afgjort modstand, ligesom apostlene gjorde. De kan ikke forvente at blive taget bedre imod fra en stor majoritet af bekendende kristne ligesom Paulus gjorde fra sine jødiske brødre. Der vil være en forening af modstand imod dem; for de forskellige organisationer kan være i deres følelser og religiøse tro, hvor de forener sig i at træde Guds lovs fjerde bud under fode.
