"health. You are full of flesh and blood, and do not exercise half enough for your own good. The indolence you manifest, and the disposition to grasp everything whereby you may be advantaged, has been a reproach to the truth and a stumbling block to unbelievers. 2T 542.1"
"But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."
Both passages emphasize the importance of self-discipline and controlling one's physical desires, especially for those in ministry. The EGW passage directly applies the principle of bodily subjection to the specific context of a minister's health and work ethic.
"Your wife, as well as you, loves her ease. Your time has been spent in bed when you were able to be up actively showing a special interest in the family you were burdening. You have thought that, because you were a minister, they should consider your presence a favor, and should wait upon you, and favor you, while you had nothing to do but to care for your own selfish interests. The impressions which you have given have been very bad. You both have been considered representatives of ministers and their wives who are engaged in presenting to the world the Sabbath and the soon coming of our Lord. 2T 542.2"
"All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not."
Both passages address the hypocrisy of religious leaders who do not practice what they preach. The EGW passage describes a minister whose actions contradict his teachings, while the verse in Matthew condemns those who say but do not do. There is a clear thematic parallel.
