"All who are employed in our institutions should realize that they will be a blessing or a curse. If they would be a blessing they must renew their spiritual strength daily; they must be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5T 419.3"
"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
EGW directly uses the phrase "partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust," which is a clear and direct allusion to 2 Peter 1:4.
