In this Ask Pastor Tim (from 2019) we study Ecclesiastes 7:16—“Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise”—and unpack what Solomon really meant by that warning. We’ll walk through three foundational hermeneutical methods (compare Scripture with Scripture, examine context and genre, cross‑reference translations), see how translation differences affect our understanding, and survey New Testament passages that call us to genuine holiness without slipping into legalism or laxity.
