Great Controversy (GC), p. 382: "Babylon is also charged with the sin of unlawful connection with 'the kings of the earth.' It was a departure from the Lord, and alliance with the heathen, that the Jewish church became a harlot; and Rome, corrupting herself in like manner by seeking the support of worldly powers, receives a like condemnation."
Ilikuwa ni kuondoka kutoka kwa Bwana, na mikataba pamoja na makafiri [mataifa], ndipo Kanisa la Kiyahudi lilikuwa kahaba; na Roma, ikijichafua yenyewe katika jinsi hiyo hiyo kwa kutafuta kuungwa mkono na mamlaka za kiulimwengu, inapokea hukumu kama hiyo hiyo. Great Controversy, ukr. 382.
