"The knowledge of God as revealed in His word is the knowledge to be given to our children. From the earliest dawn of reason they should be made familiar with the name and the life of Jesus. Their first lessons should teach them that God is their Father. Their first training should be that of loving obedience. Reverently and tenderly let the word of God be read and repeated to them in portions suited to their comprehension and adapted to awaken their interest. And, above all, let them learn of His love revealed in Christ, and its great lesson: MH 460.2"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Both passages discuss the importance of training children. Proverbs 22:6 speaks of training a child in the way they should go, while the EGW passage emphasizes teaching children about God and Jesus from a young age. While not a direct quote, the thematic connection is clear.
"And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."
Both passages emphasize the importance of diligently teaching children about God. Deuteronomy 6:7 instructs parents to teach their children about God at all times, while the EGW passage encourages making children familiar with the name and life of Jesus from a young age. The connection is thematic and supports the idea of consistent religious education.
"“If God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” 1 John 4:11 . MH 460.3"
"Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."
Ellen White directly references 1 John 4:11 in this passage.
"captivity to the obedience of Christ. With the apostle Paul they will be able to say: MH 460.4"
"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
EGW directly quotes and alludes to 2 Corinthians 10:5.
"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
Both passages discuss obedience and servitude, although EGW's focus is specifically on obedience to Christ, while Romans 6:16 presents a broader choice between sin and righteousness.
"“God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14 . MH 460.5"
"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."
Ellen White directly references Galatians 6:14 in this passage.
