"The Lord guards every man's interest. He was always the poor man's friend. There is a most wonderful dearth of Christlike love in the hearts of nearly all who are handling sacred things. I would say to my brethren everywhere: Cultivate the love of Christ! It should well up from the soul of the Christian like streams in the desert, refreshing and beautifying, bringing gladness, peace, and joy into his own life and into the lives of others. “None of us liveth to himself.” If there is shown the least oppression of the poor, or unjust dealing with them in either small or great things, God will hold the oppressor accountable. 5T 565.1"
"Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless."
Both passages highlight God's concern for the poor and the consequences of oppressing them. EGW emphasizes Christlike love and accountability for unjust dealings, while Psalms 10:14 speaks of God as the helper of the fatherless and one who requites mischief.
"brainworker. Do not urge or force them to accept the terms of those who do not know what it is to make books. These men have a conscience and are accountable to God for their entrusted capital and the use they make of it; you are not to be conscience for them. They want the privilege of investing the means which they may acquire by hard labor, when and where the Spirit of God shall indicate. 5T 565.2"
"Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand."
Both passages address the principle of not judging or controlling another person's actions or decisions, particularly in matters of conscience or stewardship. Romans 14:4 directly questions the authority to judge another's servant, while EGW applies this principle to financial decisions and the freedom to invest according to one's conscience.
