"The literature that proceeds from corrupted intellects poisons the minds of thousands in our world. Sin does not appear exceeding sinful. They hear and read so much of debasing crime and vileness that the once tender conscience which would have recoiled with horror becomes so blunted that it can dwell upon the low and vile sayings and actions of men with greedy interest. 3T 472.1"
"Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners."
Both passages highlight the corrupting influence of evil communications and the desensitization to sin that results from exposure to it.
"Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful."
Both passages address the idea of sin becoming 'exceeding sinful.' Romans 7:13 explains how sin uses good to bring about death, making its sinfulness apparent. EGW describes how constant exposure to sin desensitizes people, making sin seem less sinful.
"“As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” God will have a people zealous of good works, standing firm amid the pollutions of this degenerate age. There will be a people who hold so fast to the divine strength that they will be proof against every temptation. Evil communications in flaming handbills may seek to speak to their senses and corrupt their minds; yet they will be so united to God and angels that they will be as those who see not and hear not. They have a work to do which no one can do for them, which is to fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold on eternal life. They will not be self-confident and self-sufficient. Knowing their weakness, they will unite their ignorance to Christ's wisdom, their weakness to His strength. 3T 472.2"
"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
EGW directly quotes Matthew 24:37, drawing a parallel between the days of Noah and the time leading up to the Second Coming.
"men polluted the whole atmosphere which surrounded them. Men and women were daily fascinated with sin and wrong, yet Samuel walked untainted. His robes of character were spotless. He did not fellowship, or have the least delight in, the sins which filled all Israel with fearful reports. Samuel loved God; he kept his soul in such close connection with heaven that an angel was sent to talk with him in reference to the sins of Eli's sons, which were corrupting Israel. 3T 472.3"
"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
Both passages describe widespread wickedness. However, the EGW passage focuses on Samuel's purity amidst corruption, while Genesis 6:5 describes the pervasive evil leading to the flood. The connection is thematic but not a direct allusion or principle.
