Keep Scripture in Context


It is always dangerous to turn a text into a slogan.  It generally means that it has been taken out of its context, and has therefore been treated with a certain element of violence from the standpoint of exposition.

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Life in the Spirit in Marriage, Home & Work: An Exposition of Ephesians 5:18-6:9, pg.40
