"We should reverence God's word. For the printed volume we should show respect, never putting it to common uses, or handling it carelessly. And never should Scripture be quoted in a jest, or paraphrased to point a witty saying. “Every word of God is pure;” “as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” Proverbs 30:5 ; Psalm 12:6 . Ed 244.1"

"Fathers and mothers and teachers need to appreciate more fully the responsibility and honor that God has placed upon them, in making them, to the child, the representatives of Himself.

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God."
Both passages discuss representation. 2 Corinthians 5:20 speaks of believers as ambassadors for Christ, while EGW states that parents are representatives of God to their children. The core idea of acting as a representative connects the two.
Related principle 80% Ephesians 6:4
"And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
Both passages address the role of parents in raising children. Ephesians 6:4 focuses on avoiding provoking children and nurturing them in the Lord, while EGW emphasizes parents as representatives of God. While not a direct quote or explicit allusion, the underlying theme of parental responsibility connects them.
