What does the Bible say about the interpretation of Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that no Scripture can be interpreted in isolation; it must be understood within the context of the entire Word of God.

According to 2 Peter 1:20-21, no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation. This means that each verse cannot stand alone and must be understood in light of the full counsel of God's Word. The unity of Scripture is crucial; it declares one gospel through the Lord Jesus Christ. Taking verses out of context can lead to misinterpretations, as seen with the misuse of passages about baptism in Acts. True understanding requires holistic engagement with Scripture.
