| Understanding the Bible |
| “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” (2 Timothy 2:7). |
| Myles Coverdale (1488 – January 20, 1569) was an English reformer chiefly known as a Bible translator. He made the following suggestions for the reading and understanding of Scripture. |
| Consider well … |
| 1. What was actually stated? |
| 2. Who said it? |
| 3. To whom was it addressed? |
| 4. How is it said (with what words)? |
| 5. When was it said? |
| 6. Where? |
| 7. Why and to what intent was it said? |
| 8. What were the circumstances? |
| 9. What led to the circumstances? |
| 10. What consequences follow or are prophesied? |
| 11. How does this apply in all aspects of my life and of those I associate with? |
| 12. Above all, remember that God never meant for us to read His Word without help. Ask Him for it, and thank Him for it. |
