Proof-texting is a prevalent mistake in interpreting the Bible. This involves selectively using isolated Bible verses or passages to support a preconceived idea or argument without considering their original context, intended meaning, or the wider teachings of the Bible. It encompasses the act of extracting verses from their surrounding context and using them as "proof" to bolster a specific viewpoint.
