"The work of the mother is sacred and important. She should teach her children, from the cradle up, habits of self-denial and self-control. Her time, in a special sense, belongs to her children. But if it is mostly occupied with the follies of this degenerate age, if society, dress, and amusements absorb her attention, her children will fail to be suitably educated. CE 176.1"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Both passages emphasize the importance of parental guidance in shaping a child's character. EGW focuses on teaching self-denial and self-control, while Proverbs speaks of training a child in the right way. The shared principle is that early training has a lasting impact on a child's life.
"That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."
Both passages discuss the responsibilities of women, particularly mothers, in the home. EGW emphasizes the importance of mothers dedicating their time to their children's education and character development, while Titus 2 outlines the qualities and duties of women, including loving their children and being keepers at home. Both highlight the significant role of women in nurturing and guiding their families.
