Christians ought to be particularly on their guard against tampering in any degree with the Word of God. We should never forget that, when we are explaining any expression of Scripture, we are treating of what are the very words of the Holy Ghost, as much as if they were spoken to us by a voice from heaven….Learning may be usefully employed; but if learning forgets that it must sit at the feet of Jesus, it will be a curse instead of a blessing.
