II Timothy 2:15
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

II Timothy 2:14-17
14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 16 But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, 17 and their talk will spread like gangrene.

Let him, that is yet unacquainted with the powers of Shakespeare, and who desires to feel the highest pleasure that the drama can give, read every play from the first scene to the last, with utter negligence of all his commentators. When his fancy is once on the wing, let it not stoop at correction or explanation.
…Let him read on through brightness and obscurity, through integrity and corruption; let him preserve his comprehension of the dialogue and his interest in the fable.
-- Samuel Johnson, Preface to Shakespeare, 1765
![Page 32: St.Augustine Hermeneutics Lecture Series I. How to Use the Bible II. How to Interpret Anything III. How to Read, Mark, Learn, & Inwardly Digest the Word](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56649edc5503460f94bed754/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
there is a kind of intellectual remoteness necessary for the comprehension of any great work
in its full design and its true proportions;
a close approach shows the smaller niceties, but the beauty of the whole is discerned no longer.
-- Samuel Johnson, Preface to Shakespeare, 1765
Parts are not to be examined
till the whole has been surveyed.

As I proceeded,I began to catch the drift of Paul’s thought; or rather, I was caught by it and drawn on. The mighty argument opened out and arose like a great work of art above me till at least it enclosed me within its perfect proportions. It was a revolutionary experience.
I saw for the first time that a book of Scripture is a complete discussion of a single subject; I felt the force of the book as a whole, and I understood the different parts in the light of the whole as I had never understood them when reading them by themselves. Thus to master book after book is to fill the mind with the great thoughts of God.
