Show me the exact verse where it explicitly says scripture interprets scripture.

I’m sorry 1 Timothy 3:6 won’t do.

Maybe you should read 2 Peter 3:15-16 next time you speak Ex Cathedra on FR.

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Believe nothing unless it agrees with scripture. Even if one part of scripture doesn’t agree with another part of scripture one of those portions or the interpretation of that portion is wrong.

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

When have I ever been unstable in my belief of what scripture says? It’s the Catholics who can’t seem to make everything agree with scripture. I’ll use the simple concept of the bodily assumption of Mary as an example. Catholics couldn’t even agree or settle that issue until the 1950s and even then couldn’t reconcile it with scripture. Another would be the paying of indulgences or eating meat on Friday. You talk about unstable it’s the Catholics who are unstable.
