Vimos lo fácil que es sacar versículos fuera de su contexto, un poco como Pinky, sacando las preguntas de “¿Estás pensando…?” de Cerebro fuera de su contexto. Hoy, me gustaría mostrarte cómo el contexto hace que la interpretación tome vida.

Considera esta colección de verdades gloriosas:

  • Alégrense siempre en el Señor.
  • No se preocupen por nada; más bien, en toda ocasión, con oración y ruego, presenten sus peticiones a Dios y denle gracias.
  • La paz de Dios, que sobrepasa todo entendimiento, cuidará sus corazones y sus pensamientos en Cristo Jesús.
  • Consideren bien todo lo verdadero, todo lo respetable, todo lo justo, todo lo puro, todo lo amable, todo lo digno de admiración, en fin, todo lo que sea excelente o merezca elogio.

Todos estos versículos vienen de Filipenses 4 (NVI). Mira el contexto: “Ruego a Evodia y también a Síntique que se pongan de acuerdo en el Señor. Y a ti, mi fiel compañero, te pido que ayudes a estas mujeres” (Filipenses 4:2-3 NVI).

En general, la iglesia filipense estaba bien, pero una controversia entre dos mujeres prominentes amenazaba con destruirla. El conflicto estaba tan serio que otra gente tenía que involucrarse para resolver el problema (un poco como Mateo 18:20!). Pablo dio a estos ayudantes instrucciones específicas para ayudar a resolver el conflicto: 

  1. Alégrense en el Señor (y no en la aprobación de otras personas) – versículo 4
  2. Mantengan la calma – versículo 5a
  3. Recuerden que Dios ve todo y que Jesús está volviendo – versículo 5b
  4. No estrésense por la tensión incómoda. Pidan que Dios dé la paz – versículo 6
  5. Dios dará la paz, aunque desde la perspectiva del mundo no debería haber paz  – versículo 7
  6. Asegúrense de encontrar algo bueno, cualquier cosa buena, sobre la otra persona. Piensen en estas buenas cosas, y no en lo que la otra persona hizo para hacerse daño – versículo 8
  7. Sigan el ejemplo de Pablo en estos asuntos – versículo 9

El contexto importa. Lee los libros de la Biblia como libros y no como colecciones de perogrulladas espirituales. Cuando haces esto, el Señor te dará una mayor comprensión de todo esto (2 Timoteo 2:7, NVI), porque conoces la verdad (1 Juan 2:20, NVI), y no necesitas que nadie te enseñe (1 Juan 2:27, NVI).

Ahora, ¿se usaron en contexto esos últimos versículos?
