Scripture names every kind of sin to heal§1

1Scripture hides no species of sin; the Word sent to heal names them all. True prophets minister God’s words; false prophets are teachers whose talk or life denies the discipline they preach.

Latin · §1

Nullam speciem peccatorum Scriptura reticeat. Verbum Dei missum ad sanandos omnem speciem perstringit. Sicut de populo et sacerdotibus et dispensatoribus, ita de veris et falsis prophetis — pseudo-prophetae magistri ecclesiarum non recte sermone vel vita.

Glad when the Word rebukes our order§2

2Rejoice when Scripture warns us off vices — still more when God’s word strikes our own rank so we turn and are healed. Glory to God. Amen.

Latin · §2

Laeti sumus si Scriptura moneat ut recedamus a vitiis, magis si ordinis nostri aliquos Dei sermo perstringat volentes sanari. Gloria Deo. Amen.
