引經據典 vs. 斷章取義 Bible citation vs. Quoting out of context

馬太福音 13:12

因為凡是有的,還要賜給他,使他豐足有餘;凡是沒有的,連他有的也將從他那裡被拿走。
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance. But whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

本節說出追求一切屬靈事物的原則。你越有心要,神就越多給你;否則,連你從前已得的,也要收回去(參太25:29)。 

越在真理上有基礎、有領受的,就越發追求;而越追求,就越明白、越多有領受。 
So even when a person has a small amount of understanding, it will lead him to greater understanding as he continues to search and study God's word. A person who thinks he has all he needs, who doesn't apply himself to trying to learn more, will lose ground in the amount that he understands.

It's good to apply bible verses and teaching in our daily lives but somehow sometimes people Quoting out of context, it destroys and distorts the original meaning.
