2. What kind of controversies or difficult to understand issues could possibly come up from the passage you are studying? Write them down on your “Interpretation” Worksheet. You will want to consult a few commentaries to find the answers to these issues. See "Using Commentaries" for some thoughts on how to use commentaries.
3. Are there any important references you need to look up regarding topics or issues raised in these verses? You could use a good reference Bible that cross-references verses or use the cross reference resources at the right. Write down any important cross references that will help you understand or explain the intended meaning of the verse or verses. See "Using Cross References."
