Private Judgment
St. Paul also warns of private interpretation: ''We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.'' (Eph 4.14)
He St. Peter makes a similar warning in 2 Peter 1:20. Paul also exhorts the importance of teachers in the Church who exercise authority on doctrine in Hebrews 5.
Matthew 15.4-14 warns of the "precepts of men".
The passages cited above together illustrate a picture in which the Church, not individuals, exercise authority on doctrine. The principle of Sola Scriptura appears to be in fact extra-Biblical.
