"the ministry. The minister's attitude should be in harmony with the holy truths he proclaims. His words should be in every respect earnest and well chosen. GW 172.1"
"In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you."
Both passages emphasize the importance of a minister's conduct and speech being in line with the teachings they proclaim. Titus 2:7-8 speaks of being a pattern of good works, showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, and sound speech. The EGW passage similarly stresses the minister's attitude and the need for earnest and well-chosen words.
