"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Both passages relate to the idea of establishing a strong foundation for education. Proverbs 22:6 speaks of training a child in the right way, while the EGW passage mentions 'laying the foundation for a thorough education.'
"God designs that the College at Battle Creek shall reach a higher standard of intellectual and moral culture than any other institution of the kind in our land. The youth should be taught the importance of cultivating their physical, mental, and moral powers, that they may not only reach the highest attainments in science, but through a knowledge of God, may be educated to glorify him; that they may develop symmetrical characters, and thus be fully prepared for usefulness in this world, and obtain a moral fitness for the immortal life. CE 29.2"
"And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man."
Both passages emphasize the importance of holistic development, encompassing physical, mental, moral, and spiritual aspects. Luke 2:52 describes Jesus' growth in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man, while the EGW passage outlines the need to cultivate physical, mental, and moral powers to glorify God.
