Article 5: The Authority of Scripture
Prev   Text File   Next

We receive all these books
and these only
as holy and canonical,
for the regulating, founding, and establishing
of our faith.

And we believe
without a doubt
all things contained in them--
   not so much because the church
   receives and approves them as such
   but above all because the Holy Spirit
   testifies in our hearts
   that they are from God,

   and also because they
   prove themselves
   to be from God.

   For even the blind themselves are able to see
   that the things predicted in them
   do happen.
