My Comment:
This is another Bible verse which ought to bring us great comfort and encouragement.
The best interpreter of the Bible is the Bible itself. Scripture interprets Scripture. But how can you compare Scripture with Scripture? The best way to do this is to use such resources as The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, and The Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury. I present the cross references given in each of these resources below.
At first, I would suppose that many people will find the number of cross references in the second and third resource to be too many to take in and study. That is why I am providing the references from the original Treasury of Scripture Knowledge first. It does not have as many references.
For those who want to dig deeper into the Bible, The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge has still more cross references for each verse. This is a step up from the first source. But when you really want help to learn what the rest of the Bible says about things mentioned in the verse you are studying, you will find that having access to more references is very helpful. You will notice that I have used symbols to indicate clear verses (“*”) and where to find more (“+”).
Like its name, the Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury is far more complete than the original Treasury or the New Treasury. This resource is for those who really want or need to dig about as deeply into the Bible as is possible by means of cross reference Bible study. Once you have gotten used to this kind of Bible study you will appreciate having access to this collection of far more cross references. I have formatted the references from this resource here for easier reading on the Internet by separating a reference like 1 Samuel 1:10-18 to read 1 Samuel 1:10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 because the “pop-up window” which displays the passage upon mouseover does not have room to display all the verses at once.
