Prayer and Study of the word with guidance and understanding given by the Spirit. And since this book is not of any private interpretation, discussing it with wise elders in the church who are versed in the scriptures will keep us from going off into a tangent of error.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And
ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Ga 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Ga 2:2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
