There is to be "first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." There must be a constant development of Christian virtue, a constant advancement in Christian experience. This we should seek with intensity of desire, that we may adorn the doctrine of Christ our Saviour.

Der skal være først strå, så aks, og så fuld kerne i akset." Der skal være en stadig udvikling af kristen dyd, en stadig fremgang i kristen erfaring. Det vi burde søge med ønskets iver, det kan vi smykke vor Frelser Kristi lære med.
