Examples
“Walking, in scripture, is put for the course and tenour of the conversation, which must be new.”
Commentary on the Whole Bible Volume VI (Acts to Revelation)
“Ignorance of the scripture is the rise of abundance of mischief.”
“The first ten verses of that chapter (as the scripture is always the best commentary upon itself) are the best explication of the fifth verse of this epistle of Jude.”
Commentary on the Whole Bible Volume VI (Acts to Revelation)
“That the scripture is the word of God, which foretold contingent events concerning Christ so long before, and they came to pass according to the prediction.”
“In this instance, what we call "scripture" is best defined by what it does, rather than by what we outside observers think it explicitly says.”
“Or this can be put another way: "scripture" is the name a tradition applies to a set of words when and only when these words trace an intimate and ongoing relationship between a community and "the transcendent" (or one who is transcendent).”
“Blessed be God, now that we have the word of God in writing, and are directed to search that, we need not enquire of the former age, nor prepare ourselves to the search of their fathers; for, though we ourselves are but of yesterday, the word of God in the scripture is as nigh to us as it was to them (Rom.x. 8), and it is the more sure word of prophecy, to which we must take heed.”
Commentary on the Whole Bible Volume III (Job to Song of Solomon)
“If scripture is our guide, then we are called to seek peace (Matthew 5: 9) and to turn our swords into plowshares”
“If his position was that Q refutes the biblical notion that scripture is divinely inspired then he errs.”
“No. (If by second coming, a phrase not found in scripture, you mean that coming of Jesus that signals the end of history.)”
