"Revelation 22:11, 12 . When this fiat goes forth, every case will have been decided. CT 418.1"
"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."
EGW directly references Revelation 22:11, indicating a clear and intentional connection.
"Far better would it be for laborers to take less work and go about it slowly and humbly, wearing the yoke of Christ and bearing His burdens, than to devote years of preparation for a large work and then fail to bring sons and daughters to God, fail to have any trophies to lay at the feet of Jesus.... CT 418.2"
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
EGW uses the phrase 'wearing the yoke of Christ,' which is a direct reference to Matthew 11:29.
How many who know the truth for this time are working in harmony with its principles? It is true that something is being done; but more, far more, should have been done. The work is accumulating, and the time for doing it is diminishing. All should now be burning and shining lights, and yet many are failing to keep their lamps supplied with the oil of grace, trimmed and burning, so that light may gleam out today.

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
The EGW passage echoes the sentiment of Matthew 5:16, urging believers to be 'burning and shining lights' and not to let their 'lamps' go out. The call to action and the emphasis on being a light to the world strongly connect the two passages.
"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
Both passages emphasize the urgency of the present time and the need to make the most of it. EGW's statement that 'the time for doing it is diminishing' aligns with the idea of 'redeeming the time' in Ephesians 5:16.
