"Thus is created strife for supremacy; and there is encouraged the system of “cramming,” which in so many cases destroys health and unfits for usefulness. In many others, emulation leads to dishonesty; and by fostering ambition and discontent, it embitters the life and helps to fill the world with those restless, turbulent spirits that are a continual menace to society. Ed 226.1"
"Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."
The EGW passage discusses the negative consequences of emulation and striving for supremacy, which aligns with Galatians 5:26's warning against vain glory, provoking, and envying one another.
