Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of one's own interpretation.
All Commentaries on 2 Peter 1:20 Go To 2 Peter 1
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
No prophecy of the scripture is made by private interpretation; or, as the Protestants translate it from the Greek, is of any private interpretation, i.e. is not to be expounded by any one's private judgment or private spirit. (Witham)
The Scriptures cannot be properly expounded by private spirit or fancy, but by the same spirit wherewith they were written, which is resident in the Church.
