00:34it'll come in handy and help you out in your Bible studies many ways some will
00:38go for number one right here number one take it at face value the first
00:44principle of Bible understanding is to take the passage just as it reads look
00:50first at the literal meaning a symbolic or deeper sense of the passage will
00:55often be evident especially in combination with other related verses
01:00other related don't just rely on one verse just go for other verses to that
01:04are related to it number two here read the passage in context when faced with a
01:12difficult verse read all the verses surrounding it read what comes
01:17immediately before and after the passage read the entire chapter if necessary
01:22often often this will reveal the true meaning number three right here is let
01:28the scripture explain itself a failure to harmonize the scriptures can lead to
01:35a myriad of contradictory teachings a verse will never disagree with any other
01:41passage in the word so number four here know the context that's very important
01:49know the context you often need to know the reason a passage was written in
01:54order to understand it properly it may it may also be very helpful to know to
02:02whom the passage was written and why so you got know all that stuff who and why
02:07why was this passage written and why and also who's this message in a Bible who's
02:14this message forced on or who they talking to what group of people what's
02:21the circumstances is it about marital infidelities for instance sexual
02:28immorality what is it you know false teachings heretics something like that
02:35but anyways here's number five language and grammar anyone who has studied a
02:41foreign language knows the nuisances of meaning are often lost in the
02:46translation by returning to the original languages as closely as possible one can
02:52come to a more accurate sense of the passage so they could come to the sense
03:00of the passage passage you know it's it's very important to go back to the
03:04original language and you know you have your like concordances where it kind of
03:11tells you what the meaning is what the word was in another language and there's
03:17other helpful tools out there to teach you and number six number six here is
03:26before before you basically start doing this Bible study pray pray go ahead and
03:35pray for it you know and and pray for guidance wisdom with a whole heart and
03:41and it'll come in handy and then afterwards to afterwards give thanks and
03:46praises to your maker giving thanks and praises and still don't understand it
03:50just keep praying and the answer come to you so yeah that was a number six and
