"It has been no small trial to me to see that some have taken that portion of my views which related to sacrificing property to sustain the cause and made a wrong use of it; they use means extravagantly, while neglecting to carry out the principles of other portions. On page 50 , read the following: “I saw that the cause of God had been hindered and dishonored by some traveling who had no message from God. Such will have to give an account to God for every dollar they have used in traveling where it was not their duty to go, because that money might have helped on the cause of God.” Also, page 50 : “I saw that those who have strength to labor with their hands, and help sustain the cause, were as accountable for their strength as others were for their property.” EW 94.1"

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Both passages warn against those who misuse resources or positions for personal gain. The EGW passage focuses on those who travel without a divine message and misuse funds, while the Bible verse warns against false prophets. The connection is thematic, but not a direct allusion.
