Bible-believing Christians don't "cherry-pick" verses. Scripture is a totality, and when one verse is confusing or unclear, we study the rest of the Bible to better understand what is being taught.
Context matters, but context does not nullify what the words say.

I couldn't agree more except add that the original is always better than a translation.
