Faithful teachers should be placed in charge of the Bible classes, teachers who will strive to make the students understand their lessons, not by explaining everything to them, but by requiring them to explain clearly every passage they read. Let these teachers remember that little good will be accomplished by skimming over the surface of the word. Thoughtful investigation and earnest, taxing study are required in order for this word to be understood. There are truths in the word which, like veins of precious ore, are hidden beneath the surface. The hidden treasure is discovered as it is searched for, as a miner searches for gold and silver. The evidence of the truth of God’s word is in the word itself. Scripture is the key that unlocks scripture. The deep meaning of the truths of God’s word is unfolded to our minds by His Spirit. {8T 157.1}

Man bør sætte trofaste lærere til at undervise i Bibelen. Lærere, der vil gøre deres yderste, for at eleverne kan forstå, hvad de læser, ikke ved at forklare alt for dem, men ved at forlange, at de klart skal kunne forklare ethvert skriftsted, de læser. Disse lærere bør huske, at der kun opnås lidt ved at skumme Ordets overflade. Undersøgelse med eftertanke og alvorligt, anstrengende studium er nødvendigt for at forstå dette ord. Der er sandheder i Ordet, der som kostbare malmårer er skjult under overfladen. Den skjulte skat bliver opdaget, når der søges efter den, ligesom guldgraveren søger efter guld og sølv. Beviset på Guds ords sandhed findes i Ordet selv. Skriften er den nøgle, der åbner skriften. Den dybe mening i sandheden i Guds ord bliver klarlagt for vort sind af Helligånden.
