"Teach your children from the cradle to practice self-denial and self-control. Teach them to enjoy the beauties of nature and in useful employments to exercise systematically all the powers of body and mind. Bring them up to have sound constitutions and good morals, to have sunny dispositions and sweet tempers. Impress upon their tender minds the truth that God does not design that we should live for present gratification merely, but for our ultimate good. Teach them that to yield to temptation is weak and wicked; to resist, noble and manly. These lessons will be as seed sown in good soil, and they will bear fruit that will make your hearts glad. MH 386.2"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
The EGW passage elaborates on the principle of Proverbs 22:6, providing specific examples of how to 'train up a child'.
"Above all things else, let parents surround their children with an atmosphere of cheerfulness, courtesy, and love. A home where love dwells, and where it is expressed in looks, in words, and in acts, is a place where angels delight to manifest their presence. MH 386.3"
"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
Both passages emphasize the importance of love (charity) in creating a positive and spiritually enriching environment. The EGW passage describes a home filled with love, while 1 Corinthians 13:13 highlights the supremacy of charity.
