Don’t interpret a Bible verse in isolation. A verse out of context could be taken to mean something completely different from the original intention. Context determines interpretation. Interpretation in isolation is speculation.

Reading the Bible is like scooting across the sea in a motorboat, getting a general idea of the surroundings.
Studying the Bible is like cruising consciously in a glass-bottom boat, getting a view of the life beneath the surface.
