"The Holy Spirit was pleading with this man to become an heir of the inheritance that is incorruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not away. He had seen evidence of the power of Christ. Now the opportunity was his to speak to the Great Teacher, to express the desire uppermost in his heart. But like the man with the muckrake in Bunyan's allegory, his eyes were fixed on the earth. He saw not the crown above his head. Like Simon Magus he valued the gift of God as a means of worldly gain. 9T 217.1"
"To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,"
The EGW passage directly alludes to the concept of an incorruptible inheritance, which is described in 1 Peter 1:4.
"The Saviour's mission on earth was fast drawing to a close. Only a few months remained for Him to complete what He came to do in establishing the kingdom of His grace. Yet human greed would have turned Him from His work to take up the dispute over a piece of land. But Jesus was not to be diverted from His mission. His answer was: “Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you?” Luke 12:14 . 9T 217.2"
"And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?"
EGW directly quotes Luke 12:14.
