Studying God’s Word carefully, one verse and one chapter at a time
Study to Shew Thyself Approved
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
There is a time to simply read God’s Word, receiving its comfort, wisdom, and encouragement. There is also a time to study it more deeply, examining each passage carefully and comparing Scripture with Scripture. As Isaiah 28:10 describes it, understanding is built “precept upon precept; line upon line.”
In these verse-by-verse studies, we will walk through each book one chapter at a time. We will explore the meaning of each verse, connect it with related Scriptures, and take the time needed to understand the message God has given us.
Some verses may require us to slow down and look at the definitions of the original Hebrew or Greek words. Our goal will always be to let God’s Word speak for itself rather than replacing His explanation with our own ideas.
