"Since writing the above, I learn that most of Thoughts on the Revelation , was written in the night, after the author's day's work was done. This was the course which my husband pursued; I protest against such suicide. The brethren whom I have mentioned, who are so closely confined in the office, would be serving the cause of God by attending meetings and taking periods of recreation. They would be preserving physical health and mental strength in the best condition to devote to the work. They should not be left to feel crippled because they are not earning wages. Their wages should go on and they be free. They are doing a great work. 1T 520.2"
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
EGW's passage argues against overwork to the point of harming one's health, connecting it to serving God's cause. 1 Corinthians 6:19 states that the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and not one's own. EGW's argument aligns with the principle that one should care for their body as a temple of God, thus avoiding 'suicide' by overwork.
