"Brought to view in this volume are the principles and methods of presenting an education which “includes not only mental discipline, but that training which will secure sound morals and correct deportment”—that education which will “fit men and women for service by developing and bringing into active exercise all their faculties.” CT 6.1"
"And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man."
Both passages emphasize holistic development, encompassing mental, physical, and spiritual growth. Luke 2:52 describes Jesus' growth in these areas, while the EGW passage outlines an educational philosophy aiming for similar comprehensive development.
"As the subject is developed, there are clearly set forth the responsibilities and duties of parents, heartening counsel to guide the teachers in their work, and practical instruction to those who devote the years of their youth in preparing for a life of service. CT 6.2"
"And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
The EGW passage speaks of responsibilities and duties of parents and counsel to teachers, which aligns with the principle in Ephesians 6:4 regarding the upbringing of children.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
The EGW passage discusses practical instruction for youth preparing for service, which echoes the principle of Proverbs 22:6 about training a child in the right way.
