Moses' Scripture was perfect for Israel then — always enough for the Church's need

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

So although Scripture, when first given through Moses, did not contain everything now necessary for us, it still sufficiently held what the people of Israel then needed.

Divine Scripture always had that perfection: it took in all the Church needed to do and to know.

Latin

XXIX. Itaque quanquam Scriptura, quum primum per Mosen data est, non omnia contineret quae nobis nunc necessaria sunt, sufficienter tamen continebat ea quae tunc populo Israelitico necessaria erant. Eamque perfectionem semper habuit Scriptura divina, ut omnia complecteretur, quae Ecclesiam facere & scire opus erat.
