"For Christ's sake and the truth's sake, Brother M, do not leave the work in your conference in such a shape that it will be impossible for the one that succeeds you to set things in order. The people have received narrow and limited views of the work; selfishness has been encouraged, and worldliness has been unrebuked. I call upon you to do all in your power to efface the wrong mold you have given to this conference, to remedy the sad effects of your neglect of duty, and thus to prepare the field for another laborer. Unless you do this, may God pity the workman who shall follow you. 5T 379.2"
"For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building."
The EGW passage speaks of leaving a work in disarray and the need to prepare the field for another laborer. 1 Corinthians 3:9 speaks of being laborers together with God. There is a thematic parallel in the idea of working in God's field, but it's not a direct quote or explicit allusion.
"not bruised in spirit. In their hearts they question and doubt the Testimonies of the Spirit of God. They do not themselves bear the cross of Christ; they know not the fervent love of Jesus. And they are not faithful shepherds of the flock over which they have been made overseers; their record is not one that they will rejoice to meet in the day of God. 5T 379.3"
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
The EGW passage speaks of not bearing the cross of Christ and lacking the fervent love of Jesus, while Matthew 11:29 speaks of taking Christ's yoke and learning from his meekness and lowliness. There is a thematic parallel in the idea of following Christ's example and finding rest in him, but it's not a direct quote or explicit allusion.
