Commentary on Deuteronomy 4:2
The prohibition 'Ye shall not add unto the word... neither shall ye diminish ought from it' establishes Scripture's sufficiency and authority. God's word needs neither human supplement nor editorial reduction—it is complete and perfect as given. This principle protects against both legalism (adding requirements) and liberalism (removing demands). Revelation 22:18-19 echoes this warning, showing its enduring importance for preserving God's truth.
