"You did not view sin as heinous in the sight of God, and put it away; you failed to make thorough work; and when the enemy came in with his temptations, you did not resist him. Had you seen how offensive sin was in the sight of God, you would not have so readily yielded to temptation. You were not so thoroughly converted as to abhor your life of sin and folly. Sin yet seemed pleasant to you, and you were loath to yield up its delusive pleasures. Your inmost soul was not converted, and you soon lost that which you had gained. 2T 291.2"
"Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;"
Both passages discuss the fleeting pleasures of sin and the choice between them and a life devoted to God. EGW expands on the idea of not being thoroughly converted and still finding sin pleasant, which aligns with the concept of choosing the pleasures of sin for a season.
"Personal vanity in your case, as well as in that of many others, has been a special hindrance to you. You have ever had a love of praise. This has been a snare to you. Your professed friends have shown a special pleasure in your society, and this has gratified you. Weak-minded, sympathetic women have praised you and appeared charmed with your society; and you have felt a fascinating power upon you in their company. You did not realize, while spending in pleasure seeking those hours which belonged to your family, that Satan was weaving his net about your feet. 2T 291.3"
"A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet."
EGW uses the imagery of a net being woven, which is directly from Proverbs 29:5. The context of flattery leading to a trap is also present in both passages.
