Chapter 1: Of the Holy Scripture
1. The light of nature and the works of creation and providence so clearly display the goodness, wisdom, and power of God that they leave men inexcusable.a However, they are not sufficient to give that knowledge of God and of His will that is necessary for salvation.b Therefore it pleased the Lord, at various times, and in different ways, to reveal Himself and to declare His will to His Church.[1], c Afterward, He was pleased to commit this revelation entirely into writing:
· For the better preservation and propagation of the truth
· For the more sure establishment and comfort of the Church against:
o The corruption of the flesh[2]
o The malice of Satan
o The world[3], d
This makes the Holy Scripture absolutely necessarye because those former ways of God’s revealing His will to His people have now ceased.f

3.
The books commonly called Apocrypha,[5]
not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the canon[6] of
Scripture, and therefore are of no authority in the
Luke 24:27, 44 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 3:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Peter 1:21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
4. The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed and obeyed, does not depend upon the testimony of any man or church, but solely upon God (who is truth itself), the author of Scripture. Therefore it is to be received because it is the Word of God.
2 Peter 1:19, 21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 John 5:9 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Thessalonians 2:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
5. We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the Church to a high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scripture.a And the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy[7] of the doctrine,[8] the majesty of the style, the consistency of all the parts, the intent of the whole (which is to give all glory to God), the full revelation it makes of the only way of man’s salvation, the many other incomparable excellencies, and the entire perfection of Scripture—these are arguments by which it abundantly evidences [shows] itself to be the Word of God. Yet nonetheless, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth and divine authority of Scripture is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.b

(ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; John 16:13–14 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 2:10–12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Isaiah 59:21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
6. The whole counsel of God, concerning all things necessary for His own glory and man’s salvation, faith, and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence[9] may be deduced from Scripture. Nothing at any time is to be added to this whole counsel of God, whether by new revelations of the Spirit or traditions of men.a Nevertheless we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word.b Also, there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God and government of the Church, common to human actions and societies, which are to be ordered by the light of nature and Christian prudence according to the general rules of the Word, which are always to be observed.c
a2 Timothy
3:15–17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Galatians 1:8–9 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Thessalonians 2:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bJohn 6:45 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 2:9–12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ;[10] c1
Corinthians 11:13–14 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Corinthians 14:26, 40 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
7. All things in Scripture are not equally plain in themselves nor equally clear to all.a Yet those things that are necessary to be known, believed, and observed for salvation are quite clearly propounded[11] and opened in some place of Scripture or another. Thus, not only the learned, but the unlearned, by a due use of ordinary means, may attain to a sufficient understanding of them.b
a2 Peter
3:16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bPsalm 119:105,
130 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
8. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, the native language of the people of God of old. The New Testament was written in Greek, which, at the time of the writing of it, was most generally known to the nations. These, being directly inspired by God, and by His singular care and providence kept pure in all ages, are therefore authentic.a Thus, in all controversies of religion the Church is to appeal to them as the ultimate authority.b But because these original tongues are not known to all the people of God, who:
· Have a right to, and a valid claim to have, the Scriptures
· Are commanded, in the fear of God, to read and search themc
Therefore they are to be translated into the common language[s] of every nation into which they come,d so that, the Word of God dwelling plentifully in all, they:
· May worship Him in an acceptable mannere
· May have hope through patience and the comfort of the Scripturesf

(ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; fRomans 15:4 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
9. The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself. Therefore when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not many, but one),[12] it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly.
2 Peter 1:20–21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 15:15–16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) [13]
10. The supreme judge by whom all controversies of religion are to be determined; and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits are to be examined; can be none other than the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture, whose sentence [judgment] we are to accept.

6Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking
in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or
knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
9So with yourselves, if with your tongue
you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said?
For you will be speaking into the air.
11but if I do not know the meaning of the
language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to
me. 12So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit,
strive to excel in building up the church.
24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or
outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all,
27If any speak in a tongue, let there be
only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. 28But if
there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak
to himself and to God.

6¶ But now, brothers, if I come to
you speaking in languages, what will I profit you, if not I speak to you either
in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?
9 So also you, if you do not give
a clear word through the language, how will the thing being said be
known? For you will be speaking into air.
11 If, then, I do not know the
power of the sound, I will be a foreigner to the one speaking, and he
speaking in me a foreigner.
12 So also you, since you are
zealots of spiritual gifts, seek to build up the assembly that you may
abound.
24 But if all prophesy, and some
faithless one or an uninstructed one comes in, he is convicted by
all, he is judged by all.
27 If one speaks in a language, let
it be by two or three at the most, and in turn, also let one
interpret.
28 And if there is no interpreter,
let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to
God.

tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will
be speaking into the air.
11If then I do not know the meaning of the
language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks
will be a barbarian to me. 12So also you, since you are zealous of
spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.
24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or
an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;
27If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be

there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak

6 But now, brothers,* if I come to you speaking with other
languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of
revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
9 So also you, unless you uttered by the
tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you
would be speaking into the air.
11 If then I don’t know the meaning of the
sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a
foreigner to me.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for
spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving
or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let
it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God.
