"Enoch's walk with God was not in a trance or vision, but in all the duties of his daily life. He did not become a hermit, shutting himself entirely from the world; for he had a work to do for God in the world. In the family and in his intercourse with men, as a husband and father, a friend, a citizen, he was the steadfast, unwavering servant of the Lord. PP 85.1"

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
While not a direct quote, the EGW passage echoes the sentiment of Matthew 5:16. Both emphasize living a life that reflects one's faith in everyday actions and interactions, rather than isolating oneself. Enoch's example is used to illustrate this point, aligning with the broader principle of letting one's light shine.
"His heart was in harmony with God's will; for “can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Amos 3:3 . And this holy walk was continued for three hundred years. There are few Christians who would not be far more earnest and devoted if they knew that they had but a short time to live, or that the coming of Christ was about to take place. But Enoch's faith waxed the stronger, his love became more ardent, with the lapse of centuries. PP 85.2 Enoch was a man of strong and highly cultivated mind and extensive knowledge; he was honored with special revelations from God; yet being in constant communion with Heaven, with a sense of the divine greatness and perfection ever before him, he was one of the humblest of men. The closer the connection with God, the deeper was the sense of his own weakness and imperfection. PP 85.3"
