'Of the Holy Scripture' (3)

Westminster Confession, Week 3 Chapter 1: Of the Holy Scripture 8: The Old Testament in Hebrew (which was the native language of the people of God of old), and the New Testament in Greek (which, at the time of the writing of it, was most generally known to the nations), being immediately inspired by God, and, by His singular care and providence, kept pure in all ages, are therefore authentical; [17] so as, in all controversies of religion, the Church is finally to appeal unto them. [18] But, because these original tongues are not known to all the people of God, who have right unto, and interest in the Scriptures, and are commanded, in the fear of God, to read and search them, [19] therefore they are to be translated in to the vulgar language of every nation unto which they come, [20] that, the Word of God dwelling plentifully in all, they may worship Him in an acceptable manner; [21] and, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, may have hope. [22] 9: The infallible rule o

'Of the Holy Scripture' (2)

Westminster Confession, Week 2 Chapter 1: Of the Holy Scripture 4: The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, and obeyed, depends not upon the testimony of any man, or Church; but wholly upon God (who is truth itself) the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received, because it is the Word of God. [9] 5: We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the Church to an high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scripture. [10] And the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole (which is, to give all glory to God), the full discovery it makes of the only way of man’s salvation, the many other incomparable excellencies, and the entire perfection thereof, are arguments whereby it does abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God: yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of

'Of the Holy Scripture'

Westminster Confession, Week 1 Chapter 1: Of the Holy Scripture 1: Although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men unexcusable; [1] yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of His will, which is necessary unto salvation. [2] Therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in divers manners, to reveal Himself, and to declare that His will unto His Church; [3] and afterwards for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the Church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing; [4] which makes the Holy Scripture to be most necessary; [5] those former ways of God’s revealing His will unto His people being now ceased. [6] 2: Under the name of Holy Scripture, or the Word of God written, are now contained all the books of the Old and
