... there exists a close
connection and communication between
sacred tradition, and
sacred Scripture ...
both of them
flowing from the same well spring ...
merge into a unity and
tend toward the same end.
Sacred Scripture is the word
of God
consigned to writing under the inspiration of the
Spirit;
sacred tradition hands
on in its full purity God's word
entrusted to the apostles by Christ.
... it is not from sacred
Scripture alone
that the Church draws her certainty about everything
which has been revealed.
