Since man shall live “by every word” <ref>[[Mt 4:4]] But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.</ref> <ref>[[Lu 4:4]] And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.</ref>; a doctrine is not sound until it sums up and includes all that God has said about it. <ref>[[De 8:3]]  And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.</ref> This keeps us searching.

'''Consequence of lack of completeness'''

Conclusions may be premature. <ref>[[Pr 18:13]] ¶ He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame unto him.</ref>
