Treasury of Scripture Knowledge R A Torrey 1 Thessalonians Note: The best commentary on Scripture is Scripture (Compare Scripture with Scripture) and these cross references compiled by R A Torrey are the most comprehensive work of this type, containing over 500,000 Scripture entries. Use this tool to help Scripture interpret Scripture and don't base your convictions on an obscure or isolated passage which cannot be supported by more easily understood texts. Clear up problem areas with the clear teaching of other Scriptures relating to the same subject and always check the context (Keep Context King) to make sure that the cross reference is referring to the same subject as the original Scripture. The Puritan writer Thomas Watson said it this way - "The Scripture is to be its own interpreter or rather the Spirit speaking in it; nothing can cut the diamond but the diamond; nothing can interpret Scripture but Scripture." See an example of the value of comparing Scripture with Scripture. See also Use of Cross-References
