The followers of Christ should not praise and flatter one another; for Satan will do a plenty of this work, and if persons have a high opinion of their own ability, it will prevent them from learning in the school of Christ. Let none censure and condemn others; for in doing this they are co-laborers with him who is the accuser of the brethren, who would steal from their hearts every particle of love for one another. Christians should not seek to tear others down that they may build themselves up on their ruins, but they should endeavor to strengthen and encourage one another.

Kristi efterfølgere skulle ikke rose og smigre hverandre; for dette arbejde vil Satan gøre rigeligt af, og hvis personer har store tanker om deres egne evner, vil det forhindre dem i at lære i Kristi skole. Lad ingen kritisere og fordømme andre; ved at gøre dette, samarbejder de med ham som er brødrenes anklager, der fjerner al kærlighed i deres hjerter til hinanden. Kristne skulle ikke søge at trykke hinanden ned, så de kan bygge sig selv op på deres ruiner, men de skulle gøre alt for at styrke og opmuntre hverandre.
