Those who make God's word their book of study and put it into practice will not seek out controversy nor become tainted with bigotry. The verse calls teachers to stand in clear light, with a faith that works by love and purifies the soul. It calls them to come together to study the Word with freedom, to compare ideas, so they may understand both the manner and the matter of what they are to teach their students. It requires laying aside preconceived opinions and searching the Scriptures as the Bereans did, to determine whether the things taught are so.
