佩洛西最喜欢的段落是这样的:“事奉上帝造物的需要,是一种敬拜的行为。忽视这一需要是对创造我们的上帝的侮辱。”(To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us)
为什么佩洛西这么多年都找不到这句话呢?惠特沃斯大学希伯来圣经/旧约副教授威尔·凯恩斯称,因为“这句话不在《圣经》里。”凯恩斯表示,最接近佩洛西所引经文的一句话,是在旧约圣经箴言篇14:31中:“欺压贫寒的,是辱没造他的主。怜悯穷乏的,乃是尊敬主。”(Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, but those who are kind to the needy honor him.)
