"When in health, my husband had no time to keep accounts, and during his sickness his matters were in the hands of others. The inquiry arose: What had become of his property? Had he been defrauded? Had mistakes been made in his accounts? Or had he, in the unsettled condition of his affairs, given to this and that good object, not knowing his real ability to give and not knowing how much he gave? 1T 607.1"
Possible connection 70% Matthew 6:3
"But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:"
The EGW passage describes a situation where someone may have given generously without keeping track, which could be loosely related to the idea of not letting your left hand know what your right hand is doing in giving alms. However, the connection is not strong.
"and Christian character. 1T 607.2"
Related principle 85% Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
The EGW passage mentions 'Christian character,' and Galatians 5:22-23 lists the fruits of the Spirit, which are qualities that define Christian character. This is a valid thematic parallel.
Related principle 80% 2 Peter 1:5-7
"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity."
Similar to the previous example, 2 Peter 1:5-7 lists virtues that contribute to Christian character, making this a valid thematic parallel with the EGW passage.
