νόει ὃ λέγω· δώσει γάρ σοι ὁ Κύριος σύνεσιν ἐν πᾶσι. (2 Timothy 2:7)
Think about what I am saying, for the Lord will grant you understanding in everything. (2 Timothy 2:7)
Notes: The Bible itself demands a thoughtful reading. The attitude of "the Bible says it, I believe it, that settles it" is explicitly condemned within the Bible. A more biblical approach would be, "The Bible says it, it deserves my best efforts, and God will help me." The context here for Paul is also one of preserving the traditions of his preaching and Jesus' teaching. So, if we think hard about what the Bible says for the purpose of obeying Jesus Christ, God will grant you understanding.
