"As colaborers with Christ, with so favorable opportunities to impart the knowledge of God, our teachers should labor as if inspired from above. The hearts of the youth are not hardened, nor their ideas and opinions stereotyped, as are those of older persons. They may be won to Christ by your holy demeanor, your devotion, your Christlike walk. It would be much better to crowd them less in the study of the sciences and give them more time for religious privileges. Here a grave mistake has been made. 5T 33.1"
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
The EGW passage discusses teachers influencing youth through their Christlike behavior, which aligns with the principle of letting one's light shine through good works as described in Matthew 5:16.
