Say, were He Whom God shall make manifest to pronounce a
pious and truthful follower of the Bayán as false, it is incumbent upon you to
submit to His decree, as this hath been affirmed by God in the Bayán; verily
God is able to convert light into fire whenever He pleaseth; surely He is
potent over all things. And were He to declare a person whom ye regard alien to
the truth as being akin thereto, err not by questioning His decision in your
fancies, for He Who is the Sovereign Truth createth things through the power of
His behest. Verily God transmuteth fire into light as He willeth, and indeed
potent is He over all things.

Báb)
