"I saw that anciently the covetousness of some led them to withhold a suitable proportion; they made their offering stinted. This was recorded in heaven, and they were cursed in their harvest and their flocks just as they withheld. Some were visited with affliction in their families. God would not accept a lame offering. It must be without blemish, the best of their flocks, and the best fruits of their fields. And it must be a freewill offering, if they would have the blessing of the Lord rest upon their families and their possessions. 1T 221.1"
"Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings."
Both passages address the issue of robbing God through insufficient offerings. The EGW passage provides a specific example of this robbery through stinted offerings.
"But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you."
This is a duplicate of pair 1.
"Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation."
Both passages discuss being cursed for withholding offerings. The EGW passage elaborates on the consequences of withholding, which aligns with the curse mentioned in Malachi.
"Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats."
Both passages emphasize the importance of offering unblemished sacrifices willingly. The EGW passage reinforces this principle by stating that it must be a 'freewill offering'.
The case of Ananias and Sapphira was presented before me to illustrate the course of those who put down their property below its value. They pretended to make a freewill offering of their possessions to the Lord. Said Peter: “Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much?” The answer was: “Yea, for so much.” Some in this evil age would not consider that a lie. But the Lord regarded it thus. They had sold it for so much, and much more. They had professed to consecrate all to God. To Him they had dissembled, and their retribution lingered not. 1T 221.2 I saw that in the arrangement of systematic benevolence, hearts will be tested and proved. It is a constant, living test. It brings one to understand his own heart, to see whether the truth or the love of the world predominates. Here is a test for the naturally selfish and covetous. They will put down their possessions at very low figures. Here they dissemble. Said the angel: “Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully.” Angel…
"But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,"
The EGW passage directly references and interprets the events of Ananias and Sapphira selling their possession.
"Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God."
The EGW passage directly alludes to Peter's question and the underlying principle of lying to God, not men.
"But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?"
The EGW passage directly alludes to Peter's accusation of Ananias lying to the Holy Spirit.
"Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings."
Both passages deal with the issue of dishonesty in offerings to God. While not a direct quote, the underlying theme of robbing God through deceitful practices is present in both.
