There are five points we must examine about ourselves as interpreters: faith, illumination, qualification, humility, and awareness. Which of these six do you believe has the greatest influence on you as you interpret a Bible passage? How does it help you when you interpret a passage? How does it hinder you?

[P. Joseph Mazarin Fidelis]

Awareness how to read and interpret bible is the main thing that helps you to interpret bible. Other things will make you come closer, but awareness make you understand and follow it.

Illumination i feel shoul dhave the greatest infulence as the bible is being interpreted, because the holy spirit brings light into the scriptures and makes it easier for us to apply all the other points needed to interpret the bible seemlessly

I believe that illumination has the greatest influence on me. As my understanding of interpretation of a Bible passage progresses I do expect and trust God’s holy Spirit to teach and guide my understanding.
Illumination encourages me to focus on the importance of interpretation in understanding a Bible verse or passage.
Illumination will hinder me if I refused to trust God and not follow his teachings.

I would have to say that faith has the greatest influence on how I interpret a Bible passage. It helps me when I interpret knowing that it is God’s written word. I don’t know that it hinders me.

Illumination the Holy Spirt has the power and authority to guide as we read and study the scriptures.
