This passage is referring to the fact that although the Scriptures were written by human beings, the messages they contain are ultimately from God. They cannot be interpreted in a way that contradicts the truth of God’s Word. We are to interpret the Bible according to its context and using solid Biblical principles in order to come to a correct interpretation. There is only one correct interpretation of any given passage, but it can be best explained when we look at it in context and consider what the passage was saying to its original audience.
