'Explanation' in the Bible

Then, when I arrive, I will send those whom you approve with letters of explanation to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

I went up in obedience to a revelation of God's will; and I explained to them the Good News which I proclaim among the Gentiles. To the leaders of the Church this explanation was made in private, lest by any means I should be running, or should already have run, in vain.

By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ

No creature can hide from him, but everyone is exposed and helpless before the eyes of the one to whom we must give a word of explanation.

concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,

Continue to follow and be submissive to your leaders, since they are watching over your souls as those who will have to give a word of explanation. By doing this, you will be letting them carry out their duties joyfully, and not with grief, for that would be harmful for you.
