The Scripture Interprets Itself: In the Verse—The Words Must Be in Harmony with the Verse As Well As with All the Scriptures Relating to the Subject

The Scripture Interprets Itself: In the Verse—Scripture Build-up, or Narrative Development

The Scripture Interprets Itself: In the Verse—A Word or Words Must Be Interpreted according to Biblical Usage

     The King James Version of the Bible was completed in 1611, nearly four hundred years ago. And although the truth of the Word of God hasn’t changed, language does change over time.
