"Brother B, you are not a lover of hospitality, you shun burdens. You feel that it is a task to feed the saints and look after their wants, and that all you do in this direction is lost. Please read the above scriptures, and may God give you understanding and discernment, is my earnest prayer. As a family you need to cultivate liberality and to be less self-caring. Love to invite God's people to your house, and, as occasion may require, share with them cheerfully, gladly, that of which the Lord has made you stewards. Do not give grudgingly these little favors. As you do these things to Christ's disciples, you do it unto Him; just so, as you grudge the saints of God your hospitality, you grudge Jesus the same. 1T 693.1"
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
The EGW passage directly addresses the importance of hospitality, echoing the sentiment in Hebrews 13:2. The reference to entertaining strangers aligns with the biblical verse's encouragement of hospitality.
"Use hospitality one to another without grudging."
Both passages emphasize hospitality without grudging. The EGW quote directly addresses the attitude with which hospitality should be offered, mirroring the instruction in 1 Peter 4:9.
The health reform is essential for you both. Sister B has been backward in this good work and has suffered opposition to arise when she knew not what she was opposing. She has resisted the counsel of God against her own soul. Intemperate appetite has brought debility and disease, weakening the moral powers, and unfitting her to appreciate the sacred truth, the value of the atonement, which is essential to salvation. Sister B loves this world. She has not separated, in her affections, from the world, and given herself unreservedly to God, as He requires. He will not accept half a sacrifice. All, all, all , is God's, and we are required to render perfect service. Says Paul: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living [not dying] sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable…
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
This is a duplicate of pair 1. EGW directly quotes Romans 12:1 in her passage.
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
Both passages discuss the importance of not loving the world and giving oneself fully to God.
