"Instead of uniting with those who bear the burdens, to lift up the standard of morals, and working with heart and soul in the fear of God to correct the wrongs in their children, many parents soothe their own consciences by saying, “My children are no worse than others.” They seek to conceal the glaring wrongs which God hates, lest their children shall become offended and take some desperate course. If the spirit of rebellion is in their hearts, far better subdue it now than permit it to increase and strengthen by indulgence. If parents would do their duty, we should see a different state of things. Many of these parents have backslidden from God. They do not have wisdom from Him to perceive the devices of Satan and to resist his snares.... CT 332.2"
"He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes."
Both passages address the importance of parental discipline and the negative consequences of neglecting it. The EGW passage expands on the idea of parents enabling rebellion, which aligns with the principle in Proverbs 13:24 about the importance of timely correction.
"Every son and daughter should be called to account if absent from home at night. Parents should know what company their children are in and at whose house they spend their evenings. Some children deceive their parents with falsehoods to avoid exposure of their wrong course. There are those who seek the society of corrupt companions and secretly visit saloons and other forbidden places of resort in the city. There are students who visit the billiard rooms, and who engage in card playing, flattering themselves that there is no danger. Since their object is merely amusement, they feel perfectly safe. It is not the lower grade alone who do this. Some who have been carefully reared, and educated to look upon such things with abhorrence, are venturing upon the forbidden ground. CT 332.3"
"Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners."
The EGW passage describes how young people can be led astray by corrupt companions and engaging in harmful activities. This directly reflects the principle in 1 Corinthians 15:33 that evil communications corrupt good manners. The EGW passage illustrates the principle with specific examples.
"My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:"
Both passages warn against associating with negative influences. The EGW passage provides specific examples of where children might go astray, while Proverbs 1:15 advises against walking in the path of the wicked. The EGW passage applies the principle in a specific context.
