The teachers of truth must be wise men, very careful of their words and actions. They must be men who will give meat in due season to the flock of God; men who will not give the least sanction to low standards of living; men who have that faith which works by love, and purifies the soul from all carnal thoughts and desires. Workers of this character will not grovel in earthliness; they will not be in bondage to human beings or to Satan's temptations. They will quit themselves like men, and be strong. They will turn their faces to the Sun of Righteousness, rising above all base things into an atmosphere free from spiritual and moral defilement. GW 127.1 He who lives the principles of Bible religion, will not be found weak in moral power. Under the ennobling influence of the Holy Spirit, the tastes and inclinations become pure and holy. Nothing takes so strong a hold upon the affections, nothing reaches so fully down to the deepest motives of action, nothing exerts so potent an influence…
"Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?"
EGW directly references the concept of giving 'meat in due season' to the flock of God, which is a clear allusion to Matthew 24:45.
"For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."
EGW mentions 'faith which works by love, and purifies the soul,' which is a clear echo of the principle expressed in Galatians 5:6, that faith should be expressed through love.
"***** By what means shall the young man repress his evil propensities, and develop that which is noble and good in his character? Let him heed the words, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” [ 1 Corinthians 10:31 .] Here is a principle that is to underlie every motive, thought, and act. Unholy passions must be crucified. They will clamor for indulgence, but God has implanted in the heart high and holy purposes and desires, and these need not be debased. It is only when we refuse to submit to the control of reason and conscience that we are dragged down. Paul declared, “I can do all things through Christ.” [ Philippians 4:13 .] GW 127.3"
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
EGW directly quotes 1 Corinthians 10:31, making it an explicit allusion.
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
Ellen White directly references Philippians 4:13 in this passage.
"And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."
Both passages discuss crucifying the flesh and its desires. EGW expands on the means of doing so, aligning with the principle in Galatians.
