"“This One Thing I Do” He whose trust is in God will with Paul be able to say, “I can do all things in Him that strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 , R.V. Whatever the mistakes or failures of the past, we may, with the help of God, rise above them. With the apostle we may say: MH 516"
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
Ellen White directly references Philippians 4:13 in this passage.
"“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20 . MH 516.1"
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
The EGW passage directly quotes Revelation 3:20.
"“To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Revelation 2:17 . MH 516.2"
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."
The EGW passage directly quotes Revelation 2:17.
"“This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13, 14 . MH 516.5"
"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
The EGW passage directly quotes Philippians 3:13-14.
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"
While not a direct quote, the EGW passage's emphasis on 'forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before' shares a thematic parallel with Hebrews 12:1, which encourages believers to 'lay aside every weight' and 'run with patience the race that is set before us.' Both passages focus on moving forward in faith, leaving behind past hindrances.
