20. Sola Scriptura : 宗教改革的口號 但非改革家發明的觀念
"You have Scripture for a master instead of me;
from there you can learn whatever you would
know." — John Chrysostom
"Let God-inspired Scripture decide between us;
and on whichever side be found doctrines in
harmony with the word of God, in favor of that
side will be cast the vote of truth.”
— Basil of Caesarea
"Among those things which are said openly in
Scripture are to be found all those teachings which
involve faith, the mores of living, and that hope
and charity which we have discussed."
— On Christian Doctrine, Augustine

21. 唯獨聖經
Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)
"The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary
for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either
expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary
consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto which
nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new
revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men. Nevertheless,
we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of
God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such
things as are revealed in the Word: and that there are some
circumstances concerning the worship of God, and
government of the Church, common to human actions and
societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature, and
Christian prudence, according to the general rules of the
Word, which are always to be observed."
