Related principle 85% Matthew 7:15
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
The EGW passage warns against flatterers and dissemblers who betray God's cause. This aligns with the general warning against false prophets in Matthew 7:15, although it's not a direct quote or explicit allusion.
"“There is no time now to range ourselves on the side of the transgressors of God's law, to see with their eyes, to hear with their ears, and to understand with their perverted senses. We must press together. We must labor to become a unit, to be holy in life and pure in character. Let those who profess to be servants of the living God no longer bow down to the idol of men's opinions, no longer be slaves to any shameful lust, no longer bring a polluted offering to the Lord, a sin-stained soul.” LS 330.2"
Likely biblical basis 85% Romans 12:2
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
EGW's call to avoid conforming to the world's standards and to strive for holiness echoes the principle found in Romans 12:2, which urges believers to be transformed rather than conformed.
