"Teaching the Principles of Health Reform As a people we have been given the work of making known the principles of health reform. There are some who think that the question of diet is not of sufficient importance to be included in their evangelistic work. But such make a great mistake. God's word declares: Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 . The subject of temperance, in all its bearings, has an important place in the work of salvation. 9T 112"
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
The EGW passage directly quotes 1 Corinthians 10:31 to support the inclusion of diet in evangelistic work. This is a clear and direct allusion.
"In connection with our city missions there should be suitable rooms where those in whom an interest has been awakened can be gathered for instruction. This necessary work is not to be carried on in such a meager way that an unfavorable impression will be made on the minds of the people. All that is done should bear favorable witness to the Author of truth and should properly represent the sacredness and importance of the truths of the third angel's message. 9T 112.2"
"But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus."
Both passages discuss the need for separate spaces for instruction and discipleship. Acts 19:9 describes Paul separating disciples into the school of Tyrannus, while the EGW passage advocates for suitable rooms for instruction in city missions. The connection is thematic, focusing on the importance of dedicated learning environments.
"Cooking schools are to be held. The people are to be taught how to prepare wholesome food. They are to be shown the need of discarding unhealthful foods. But we should never advocate a starvation diet. It is possible to have a wholesome, nutritious diet without the use of tea, coffee, and flesh food. The work of teaching the people how to prepare a dietary that is at once wholesome and appetizing is of the utmost importance. 9T 112.3"
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s."
The EGW passage discusses the importance of wholesome food and health reform, while 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 speaks of the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. Both passages connect physical health with spiritual well-being and glorifying God. The connection is thematic, focusing on the care of the body.
