The Scripture is to be its own interpreter, or rather the Spirit speaking in it; nothing can cut the diamond but the diamond; nothing can interpret Scripture but Scripture.

More quotes by Richard Watson

Faith is seated in the understanding as well as in the will. It has an eye to see Christ as well as a wing to fly to Christ.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

The weakest believer is a member of Christ as well as the strongest; and the weakest member of the body mystically shall not perish. Christ will cut off rotten members, but not weak members.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Faith, though it hath sometimes a trembling hand, it must not have a withered hand, but must stretch.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Faith is the vital artery of the soul. When we begin to believe, we begin to love. Faith grafts the soul into Christ, as the scion into the stock, and fetches all its nutriment from the blessed Vine.
