Study with care

Who is speaking, to whom, and why? Read the surrounding chapters. Distinguish what the text says from your interpretation and application, then discuss it with a trusted person in your church.

The JSON packet includes the full chapter, translator notes, source date, and permissions for content preparation. Teaching prepared from it still needs human review.
