"This person, whose countenance I recognized when I saw her, I was told was Mrs. I. I saw that her life was not marked with that humility which should ever characterize the followers of Christ. When poor mortals, however high their profession, become just in their own eyes, then Jesus leaves them to be deceived in regard to themselves. I was shown that this woman has influenced others, and some have united with her to hold up the visions in a ridiculous light. To God they must answer for all this; for every word of derision against the light which God has seen fit to communicate in His own chosen way, is recorded. 1T 331.2"
"And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."
The EGW passage discusses a person lacking humility and being deceived, which aligns with the Matthew verse about exalting oneself and being abased. The connection is thematic, focusing on the importance of humility.
