"Paul had written briefly to the church, admonishing them “not to company” with members who should persist in profligacy; but many of the believers perverted the apostle's meaning, quibbled over his words, and excused themselves for disregarding his instruction. AA 300.1"
"But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
The EGW passage directly quotes and references 1 Corinthians 5:11 regarding not associating with profligate members. It also mentions the perversion of Paul's meaning, which is a direct commentary on the interpretation of the verse.
"As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."
The EGW passage describes the believers perverting Paul's meaning and disregarding his instruction. The Bible verse speaks of the unlearned and unstable wresting scripture to their own destruction. Both passages address the issue of misinterpreting and twisting scripture for personal gain.
"A letter was sent to Paul by the church, asking for counsel concerning various matters, but saying nothing of the grievous sins existing among them. The apostle was, however, forcibly impressed by the Holy Spirit that the true state of the church had been concealed and that this letter was an attempt to draw from him statements which the writers could construe to serve their own purposes. AA 300.2"
"But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?"
Both passages involve the concealment of truth and deception. In the EGW passage, the church conceals the grievous sins and attempts to manipulate Paul. In Acts 5:3, Ananias lies to the Holy Spirit. While the specifics differ, the underlying theme of deception and hidden motives connects the two passages.
