Step # 11: Interpret the information discovered.

Step 10:  Interpret your data by drawing only such conclusion as is warranted by your biblical evidence. This approach to Bible study involves a good deal of time and some hard work.  However, the rewards are great.  The knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and His salvation is worth more than fine gold.  Since the Canon of the New Testament was originally given by the supervision and revelation of the Holy Spirit, preserved and transmitted down through the ages under the providential protection of God, it is truly God’s word to twentiety-century man, if it is properly translated for us and interpreted by us.
