LIST OF SCRIPTURE CROSS REFERENCES knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone s own interpretation. 2 Peter 1:20 There is no other commentary on the Bible so helpful as the Bible itself. R. A. Torrey Scripture is its own expositor. Martin Luther The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself: and therefore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly. Westminster Confession Using cross references allows the Bible to speak for itself, to be its own interpreter. This is the surest and most accurate method of Bible study. If you are unsure of the meaning of a verse, you can search the Bible and find other verses that reference the same themes, words, events, or people to gain a deeper understanding. You can see the verse and compare it with similar verses that can explain difficult passages. We can also see what the other authors have written the exact same thing or a similar passage. These multiple mentions of Scripture also show the importance of certain teachings because God often repeats important statements in the Bible and when He does, we know that God is stressing the importance of certain passages.
