The men of the world do not wish the light of truth, and they are one in spirit with those who, while professing to be children of God, do not let their light shine in words of truth and deeds of holiness. Unconverted men who claim to be Christians only encourage the sinner to continue in his sin. In the place of seeking to save the souls that are ready to perish, they live for self. Their vessels are empty, and therefore they can not keep their lamps replenished. To these Christ says, I know you not. You have not taken me as your counselor. You have not walked in the light of my word. You have not come under my yoke. Your light is darkness, because you have walked in the sparks of the fire of your own kindling. Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Verdens mænd ønsker ikke sandhedens lys, og de et i ånd med dem som, skønt de bekender at være Guds børn, ikke lader deres lys skinne i sandhedens ord og hellighedens gerninger. Uomvendte mennesker som hævder at være kristne opmuntrer synderen med at fortsætte i synd. I stedet for at søge at frelse sjæle som er er ved at gå fortabt, så lever de for selvet. Deres kar er tomme, og derfor kan de ikke holde deres lamper fyldte. Til disse siger Kristus: Jeg kender jer ikke. I har ikke taget mig på råd. I har ikke vandret i lyset af mit ord. I er ikke kommet under mit åg. Jeres lys er mørke, fordi du har vandret i ildgnisterne af din egen optænding. Vig bort fra mig, I der øver uret.
