2 Timothy 3:16
Douay-Rheims
All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,
Augustine of Hippo
The Scriptures are holy, they are truthful, they are blameless.… So we have no grounds at all for blaming Scripture if we happen to deviate in any way, because we haven't understood it. When we do understand it, we are right. But when we are wrong because we haven't understood it, we leave it in the right. When we have gone wrong, we don't make out Scripture to be wrong, but it continues to stand up straight and right, so that we may return to it for correction.
