(٢٨) ﴿ يَا ابْنَ الرُّوحِ ﴾
أَيْقِنْ بِأَنَّ الَّذي يَأْمُرُ النَّاسَ بِالْعَدْلِ وَيَرْتَكِبُ الْفَحْشَاءَ فِي نَفْسِهِ، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَوْ كَانَ عَلَى اسْمِي.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(28) O SON OF SPIRIT!
Know thou of a truth: He that biddeth men be just and himself committeth iniquity is not of Me, even though he bear My name.
