Biarlah keyakinan yang Saudara miliki itu, Saudara lakukan di hadapan Allah saja untuk Saudara sendiri. Jangan memamerkan keyakinan Saudara itu di hadapan orang lain yang menyebabkan orang itu tersinggung. Berbahagialah orang yang tidak merasa dirinya bersalah karena melakukan sesuatu yang benar menurut keyakinannya.
