"In the epistle of Paul to Titus, chapter 2:13-14, we read: 'Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.' This great work is to be performed for those only who are willing to be purified, willing to be peculiar, and who manifest a zeal in good works." Testimonies, vol 1, p 274.
Katika waraka wa Paulo kwa Tito, sura ya 2:13-14, tunasoma: Tukilitazamia tumaini lenye baraka na mafunuo ya utukufu wa Kristo Yesu, Mungu mkuu na Mwokozi wetu; ambaye alijitoa nafsi yake kwa ajili yetu, ili atukomboe na maasi yote, na kujisafishia watu wawe milki yake mwenyewe, wale walio na juhudi katika matendo mema. Kazi hii kubwa inabidi kufanyika kwa wale tu waliojitoa kwa hiari kutakaswa, wakitaka kuwa wa pekee, na wanaodhihirisha bidii katika kazi njema. Tesitmonies, gombo la 1, ukr. 274.
