On Holy Scripture
The
proud sin greatly who, after studying secular literature and having turned to
the Holy Scriptures, consider all that they say to be the Law of God, and do
not endeavor to come to know the thoughts of the prophets and apostles, but
seek out from the scriptures inappropriate texts for their own thoughts, as if
this were a good work, and not the most defiled kind of study: to distort the
thoughts of Scripture and submit them to their own intentions, in spite of
obvious contradictions.
Saint Jerome
