Yes and the more context the better. Context brings understanding, and understanding brings changed behaviour, and changed behaviour brings transformation.
"Study, to show thyself approved"; the LC has "study" as part of PSRP, but study what? LSM theology? More verses out of context?
My point has been, there's a narrative there in the text. Repetition of itself will neither lead us further into or away from the narrative. It's a tool like any other.

I remember this as well. Bad theology, loudly screamed, doesn't become good theology.
