| They read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. (Neh. 8:8) |
| Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit. … Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:14‑15) |
Study it carefully, Think of it prayerfully, Till in thy heart its precepts dwell; Slight not its history; Ponder its mystery; None can e’er prize it too fondly or well. |
