Cross reference Bible study method
Cross-reference study helps you compare related passages so Scripture sheds light on Scripture without losing the main passage you started with.
Begin with one main text
Choose a passage and identify the words, themes, quotations, or ideas that need to be compared with other Scriptures.
Compare related passages
Read cross references carefully, noting similarities, differences, fulfillment, background, and how each passage contributes.
Return to the original passage
Use the related passages to clarify meaning, then write a short summary of what the original passage teaches.
