"In every age Satan has sought to impair the efforts of God's servants by introducing into the church a spirit of fanaticism. Thus it was in Paul's day, and thus it was in later centuries during the time of the Reformation. Wycliffe, Luther, and many others who blessed the world by their influence and their faith, encountered the wiles by which the enemy seeks to lead into fanaticism overzealous, unbalanced, and unsanctified minds. Misguided souls have taught that the attainment of true holiness carries the mind above all earthly thoughts and leads men to refrain wholly from labor. Others, taking extreme views of certain texts of Scripture, have taught that it is a sin to work—that Christians should take no thought concerning the temporal welfare of themselves or their families, but should devote their lives wholly to spiritual things. The teaching and example of the apostle Paul are a rebuke to such extreme views. AA 348.1"
"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ."
Both passages address the issue of false teachings and deviations from the true gospel. EGW expands on the specific types of fanaticism and extreme views that can arise, while Galatians 1:6-7 speaks more generally about the perversion of the gospel. The connection is thematic, as both address deviations from sound doctrine.
"Paul was not wholly dependent upon the labor of his hands for support while at Thessalonica. Referring later to his experiences in that city, he wrote to the Philippian believers in acknowledgment of the gifts he had received from them while there, saying, “Even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.” Philippians 4:16 . Notwithstanding the fact that he received this help he was careful to set before the Thessalonians an example of diligence, so that none could rightfully accuse him of covetousness, and also that those who held fanatical views regarding manual labor might be given a practical rebuke. AA 348.2"
"For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity."
Ellen White directly references Philippians 4:16 in this passage.
"For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God."
While Philippians 4:16 is referenced, the core idea of Paul's diligence and avoiding accusations of covetousness connects to the broader theme of self-sufficiency and not being a burden, as discussed in 1 Thessalonians 2:9. It's a thematic parallel rather than a direct allusion.
"Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:"
EGW directly quotes Philippians 4:16 and uses it to support her point about Paul's ministry in Thessalonica. She also references the broader context of Paul's work ethic, which is related to 2 Thessalonians 3:8.
