Dette kan du bringe videre til våre kristne søsken, for da vil du være en god Jesu Krisi tjener. Fortsett å ta til deg av Guds Ord. Det er den gode lære, og det vil fylle deg med tro. Du har jo alltid vært nøye med slikt. Disse andre teoriene er verdslige myter og eventyr. Hold deg unna slikt, og pass heller på at du holder deg i god åndelig form. For fysisk trening er nyttig til noe, men det å trene seg på å være lydig mot Gud og sette Ham høyest, er godt for oss. For Gud har gode løfter for oss, både for det livet som er nå, og for det livet som skal komme. Budskapet om frelse er alvorlig og viktig, og derfor er det helt nødvendig at det bringes videre. Vi arbeider hardt for å spre dette budskapet, og det er for dette budskapet at vi blir trakassert, for vi stoler på Den Levende Gud, Han som vil at alle mennesker skal blir frelst. Og vi vet at Han vil redde alle oss som tror på Hans Sønn Jesus. Derfor må du fortsette å undervise om dette!
