"The apostle exhorted the women in the faith to be chaste in conversation and modest in dress and deportment. “Whose adorning,” he counseled, “let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.” AA 523.1"
"Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;"
The EGW passage directly quotes 1 Peter 3:3, making it an explicit allusion.
"But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
EGW directly quotes 1 Peter 3:4.
"The lesson applies to believers in every age. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:20 . The inward adorning of a meek and quiet spirit is priceless. In the life of the true Christian the outward adorning is always in harmony with the inward peace and holiness. “If any man will come after Me,” Christ said, “let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Matthew 16:24 . Self-denial and sacrifice will mark the Christian's life. Evidence that the taste is converted will be seen in the dress of all who walk in the path cast up for the ransomed of the Lord. AA 523.2"
"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
EGW directly quotes Matthew 16:24.
"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
Ellen White directly references Matthew 7:20 in this passage.
"But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
While EGW references 1 Peter 3:4 indirectly by mentioning the 'meek and quiet spirit', the primary connection is thematic. Both passages discuss the importance of inner character over outward appearance.
"It is right to love beauty and to desire it; but God desires us to love and seek first the highest beauty, that which is imperishable. No outward adorning can compare in value or loveliness with that “meek and quiet spirit,” the “fine linen, white and clean” ( Revelation 19:14 ), which all the holy ones of earth will wear. This apparel will make them beautiful and beloved here, and will hereafter be their badge of admission to the palace of the King. His promise is, “They shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy.” Revelation 3:4 . AA 523.3"
"Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy."
EGW directly quotes Revelation 3:4.
"And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."
Ellen White directly references Revelation 19:14 in this passage.
"But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
EGW connects the 'meek and quiet spirit' with the 'fine linen, white and clean' mentioned in Revelation, drawing a thematic parallel between inner character and spiritual purity, which is initially inspired by 1 Peter 3:4.
