Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Contested claims1

Held at full strength, with the debate attached

◈The word of prophecy made more surecontested · tier A

The "word of prophecy made more sure" (2 Peter 1:19) is ranked above a heavenly sign witnessed first-hand, and Psalm 19 makes the same move within itself, pivoting at verse 7 from the sky to the law of the LORD — the honest landing point.

The critique, at full strength

The honest landing rather than a contested claim. 2 Peter 1:19 ranks the word of prophecy above even a heavenly sign witnessed first-hand, and Psalm 19 makes the same move within itself, pivoting at verse 7 from the sky to the law of the LORD. The only caution is against reading the ranking as a dismissal: the Psalm does not retract verses 1-6, it subordinates them. The heavens testify truly and insufficiently, and the page should end there rather than on either half alone.

Where the theme lands
Psalms 19:7
The word of prophecy 'made more sure' (2 Pet 1:19) ranked above heavenly signs; Ps 19:7-11 is the Psalm's own pivot from sky to Scripture - the honest landing.
2 Pet 1:19; Ps 19:7 (ASV)
