2 Corinthians 3:3
Douay-Rheims
Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshly tables of the heart.
George Leo Haydock
Though the Scriptures be of the Holy Ghost, the proper book of Christ’s doctrine is in the hearts of the faithful, the true mansions of the holy Spirit. Hence St. Irenæus says: “If the apostles had left no writings, ought we not to follow the order of tradition they delivered to the persons to whom they committed the Churches? How many barbarous nations have received and practised the faith without any thing written in ink and paper? (lib. iii. chap. 4.)
