• Lectio – reading section is solid advice
• Meditatio – take time to consider what sense this passage may mean to your life
• Oratio – ask God to open the eyes of your heart to clarify if that spiritual sense is true
• Contemplatio – still yourself as you prepare to study

Context - Assess passage in the historical, cultural, and passage context in the section, book (see your Bible’s outline), common books, and then testament. Attach passage to theme of book.
Sense of the passage - This begins with the literal sense, then word studies, after that looking for figures of speech, and finally considering any interesting uses of grammar. Understanding of what the author is saying is the aim of this part of the study. A deepening or sharpening of our lectio divina continues here.
Sensous plenior – Using your Bible’s cross reference system determine if there may be a deeper meaning intended by God seen in the words of a biblical text (or group of texts, or even a whole book) when they are studied in the light of further revelation
Personal interpretation – Construct a short explanation of the author’s passage meaning as it applies to you. This is a good time to create a short pithy title to describe the idea(s) that has been led out from your study
