"Setiap kali orang-orang Kristen mula-mula memasuki sebuah kota, struktur kekuasaan menjadi terganggu dan segera berusaha menghukum mereka karena "pengganggu perdamaian" dan "penghasut luar". Tetapi mereka melanjutkan dengan keyakinan bahwa mereka adalah "koloni surga", dan harus menaati Allah daripada manusia. Jumlah mereka kecil tetapi komitmennya besar. Mereka terlalu mabuk oleh Tuhan untuk "diintimidasi secara astronomis." Mereka mengakhiri kejahatan kuno seperti kontes pembunuhan bayi dan gladiator."

--- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Whenever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being "disturbers of the peace" and "outside agitators." But they went on with the conviction that they were "a colony of heaven," and had to obey God rather than man. They were small in number but big in commitment. They were too God-intoxicated to be "astronomically intimidated." They brought an end to such ancient evils as infanticide and gladiatorial contest.
