For Sacred Scripture is the word of God inasmuch as it is consigned to writing under the inspiration of the divine Spirit, while sacred tradition takes the word of God entrusted by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, and hands it on to their successors in its full purity, so that led by the light of the Spirit of truth, they may in proclaiming it preserve this word of God faithfully, explain it, and make it more widely known.
Kwa kweli, Maandiko Matakatifu ndilo Neno la Mungu ambalo liliandikwa kwa uvuvio wa Roho wa Mungu. Neno la Mungu lililokabidhiwa kwa Mitume na Kristo Bwana na Roho Mtakatifu linarithishwa li zima na Mapokeo Matakatifu kwa waandamizi wao, ili, wakiangazwa na Roho wa kweli, kwa njia ya kuhubiri kwao, walihifadhi kiaminifu, walifafanue na kulieneza.
