• Near the Beginning of the Bible
  • Deuteronomy 4:2:
    “You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.”
• Near the Middle of the Bible
  • Proverbs 30:6:
    “Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.”
• Near the End of the Bible
  • Revelation 22:18-19:
    “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”

These warnings emphasize the importance of preserving the integrity of God’s Word, without adding to or taking away from it.
