What writings are specifically mentioned as containing some things difficult to understand?
Answer
"And account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also
according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them
of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable
wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction." 2 Peter 3: 15, 16.
Note - Some scriptures are too plain to be misunderstood, while the meaning of others cannot so readily be
discerned. To obtain a comprehensive knowledge of any Bible truth, scripture must be compared with
scripture, and there should be "careful research and prayerful reflection." But all such study will be richly
rewarded.
