"and they should have that true Christian courtesy that wins confidence and respect. The teacher should be himself what he wishes his students to become. CT 65.1"
"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."
Both passages emphasize the importance of leading by example. 1 Corinthians 11:1 calls for imitation of Christ, while EGW applies this to the teacher-student relationship.
"Teachers are to watch over their students as the shepherd watches over the flock entrusted to his charge. They should care for souls as they that must give an account. CT 65.2"
"Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."
EGW directly echoes the sentiment of Hebrews 13:17, emphasizing the responsibility of teachers to care for their students' souls and give an account for their stewardship.
"The teacher may understand many things in regard to the physical universe; he may know about the structure of animal life, the discoveries of natural science, the inventions of mechanical art; but he cannot be called educated, he is not fitted for his work as an instructor of the youth, unless he has in his own soul a knowledge of God and of Christ. He cannot be a true educator until he is himself a learner in the school of Christ, receiving an education from the divine Instructor. CT 65.3"
"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness."
Both passages contrast worldly wisdom with spiritual wisdom. EGW emphasizes the necessity of knowing God and Christ for true education, while 1 Corinthians 3:19 highlights the foolishness of worldly wisdom in God's eyes.
