"“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” The Lord says, “Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God.” “Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean; from all your filthiness and from all your idols will I cleanse you.” 1 John 1:9 ; Jeremiah 3:13 ; Ezekiel 36:25 . COL 158.1"
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
EGW directly quotes 1 John 1:9.
"Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord."
Ellen White directly references Jeremiah 3:13 in this passage.
"Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you."
Ellen White directly references Ezekiel 36:25 in this passage.
"But we must have a knowledge of ourselves, a knowledge that will result in contrition, before we can find pardon and peace. The Pharisee felt no conviction of sin. The Holy Spirit could not work with him. His soul was encased in a self-righteous armor which the arrows of God, barbed and true-aimed by angel hands, failed to penetrate. It is only he who knows himself to be a sinner that Christ can save. He came “to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.” Luke 4:18 . But “they that are whole need not a physician.” Luke 5:31 . We must know our real condition, or we shall not feel our need of Christ's help. We must understand our danger, or we shall not flee to the refuge. We must feel the pain of our wounds, or we should not desire healing. COL 158.2"
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"
EGW directly quotes Luke 4:18 to support her point about Christ's mission and the need for recognizing one's own brokenness.
"And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick."
Ellen White directly references Luke 5:31 in this passage.
"But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick."
EGW directly quotes Luke 5:31 (which is very similar to Matthew 9:12) to illustrate the idea that those who think they are 'whole' do not seek or feel the need for Christ's healing.
"The Lord says, “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” Revelation 3:17, 18 . The gold tried in the fire is faith that works by love. Only this can bring us into harmony with God. We may be active, we may do much work; but without love, such love as dwelt in the heart of Christ, we can never be numbered with the family of heaven. COL 158.3"
"Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:"
EGW directly quotes Revelation 3:17 and interprets the symbols of gold, white raiment, and eyesalve, connecting them to faith, righteousness, and spiritual discernment.
