"***** Chapter 92—Political Sentiments At Rochester, New York, December 25, 1865, I was shown many things concerning the people of God in connection with His work for these last days. I saw that many professed Sabbathkeepers will come short of everlasting life. They fail to take warning from the course pursued by the children of Israel and fall into some of their evil ways. If they continue in these sins they will fall like the Israelites and never enter the heavenly Canaan. “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” 1T 533"
Direct citation 100% 1 Corinthians 10:11
"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."
EGW directly quotes 1 Corinthians 10:11 to support her point about learning from the Israelites' mistakes. This is a clear and direct allusion.
"The Sabbath was made for the benefit of man; and to knowingly transgress the holy commandment forbidding labor upon the seventh day is a crime in the sight of heaven which was of such magnitude under the Mosaic law as to require the death of the offender. But this was not all that the offender was to suffer, for God would not take a transgressor of His law to heaven. He must suffer the second death, which is the full and final penalty for the transgressor of the law of God. 1T 533.1"
Direct citation 95% Mark 2:27
"And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:"
The EGW passage directly references the idea that the Sabbath was made for man, which is a clear allusion to Mark 2:27.
Likely biblical basis 95% Exodus 31:14
"Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people."
The EGW passage directly references the death penalty for Sabbath breaking under the Mosaic law, which is explicitly stated in Exodus 31:14.

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
Both passages discuss the consequences of sin, with the EGW passage mentioning the 'second death' as the final penalty for transgressors, and Revelation 21:8 describing the 'second death' as the fate of various sinners. The connection is thematic, focusing on the ultimate consequences of unrepentant sin.

Related principle 90% Romans 6:22
"But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life."
Both passages connect freedom from sin with holiness. EGW's statement that those who don't follow heavenly principles cannot possess the spirit of freedom and holiness echoes the idea in Romans 6:22 that being freed from sin leads to holiness.
