What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "What does Ellen White say about 1 Corinthians 10:23: Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial or builds up?"
Answer
Ellen White applies the principle this way: Even if one is entitled to do something, one should refrain if it hinders God's work or closes others' minds to the truth. She recommends acting prudently and asking what best serves the proclamation of the truth.
Wisely relinquishing one's rights
»If you see that certain things, which you are fully entitled to do, hinder the progress of God's work, then refrain from doing them. Do nothing that closes the minds of others to the truth. There is a world to save, and we gain nothing by separating ourselves from those we are trying to help. All things may be permissible, but not all things are beneficial. The wise course is the best.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
