25. Therefore, all the clergy must hold fast to the Sacred Scriptures through diligent sacred reading and careful study, especially the priests of Christ and others, such as deacons and catechists who are legitimately active in the ministry of the word. This is to be done so that none of them will become "an empty preacher of the word of God outwardly, who is not a listener to it inwardly" (4) since they must share the abundant wealth of the divine word with the faithful committed to them, especially in the sacred liturgy.
25. Kwa hiyo makleri wote, hasa mapadre wa Kristo, mashemasi au makatekista wanaoshiriki kwa rasmi huduma ya Neno, lazima wajizamishe katika Maandiko Matakatifu kwa kuyasoma bila kuchoka na kwa makini, ili kati yao asiwepo “mhubiri mtupu wa Neno la Mungu na wa nje tu, asiyezingatia Neno hilo moyoni mwake”[38], yeye ambaye inabidi awashirikishe waamini waliokabidhiwa kwake hazina tele ya Neno la Mungu, hasa katika Liturujia takatifu.
