"“Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master or a servant or a friend, Bids each on other for assistance call, Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all.” MH 496.1"
"And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you."
The EGW quote, though a poem, directly echoes the sentiment of 1 Corinthians 12:21 regarding interdependence and mutual support. The connection is strong.
"For the body is not one member, but many."
The EGW passage, through the quoted verse, highlights the interdependence of people and how individual weaknesses can be overcome through collective strength. This echoes the sentiment in 1 Corinthians 12:14, which emphasizes that the body is made up of many members, each contributing to the whole. The connection is valid.
"the possessor. We are to have Christ in us as a well of water, springing up into everlasting life, refreshing all who come in contact with us. MH 496.2"
"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
This is a clear and direct allusion to John 4:14, using the same imagery of a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The connection is undeniable.
