"In erecting our buildings, we must keep away from the homes of the great men of the world, and let them seek the help they need by withdrawing from their associates into more retired places. We shall not please God by building our sanitariums among people extravagant in dress and living, who are attracted to those who can make a great display. 7T 89.3"
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
The EGW passage directly applies the principle of not loving the world (1 John 2:15) to the specific context of choosing locations for sanitariums, advocating for separation from worldly influences.
