"For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building."
Both passages use the term 'laborers' in the context of working for God. While 1 Corinthians 3:9 speaks of being laborers *with* God, EGW's passage encourages brethren to become 'strong laborers' in Christian endeavors. The shared concept of active participation in God's work makes this a valid thematic parallel.
"Both in Auckland and in Kaeo Mrs. White urged the brethren and sisters to go with their families to the annual conference which was to be held the last of March, in Napier. This conference was to be a camp meeting, the first undertaken by Seventh-day Adventists south of the equator. Regarding this experience she wrote: LS 341.5"
Related principle 70% Exodus 23:14
"Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year."
Both passages refer to gatherings or feasts held at specific times. Exodus 23:14 commands three annual feasts, while the EGW passage describes an annual conference. The connection lies in the concept of regular, scheduled religious gatherings.
"“We felt that this first camp meeting must be, as far as possible, a sample of what every other camp meeting held in the future ought to be. Over and over again I said to the people: ‘See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.’ Hebrews 8:5 .... Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.’ Matthew 5:48 .” LS 341.6"
