"Forbearance Under Wrong We cannot afford to let our spirits chafe over any real or supposed wrong done to ourselves. Self is the enemy we most need to fear. No form of vice has a more baleful effect upon the character than has human passion not under the control of the Holy Spirit. No other victory we can gain will be so precious as the victory gained over self. MH 485"
"He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city."
Both passages emphasize the importance of controlling one's spirit and overcoming anger. Proverbs 16:32 values a slow temper over might, while EGW focuses on controlling passion through the Holy Spirit and overcoming self. Both highlight the importance of self-control.
"We should not allow our feelings to be easily wounded. We are to live, not to guard our feelings or our reputation, but to save souls. As we become interested in the salvation of souls we cease to mind the little differences that so often arise in our association with one another. Whatever others may think of us or do to us, it need not disturb our oneness with Christ, the fellowship of the Spirit. “What glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.” 1 Peter 2:20 . MH 485.2"
"For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God."
Ellen White directly references 1 Peter 2:20 in this passage.
