〈聖經的本性與權威〉，《聖經論》/ 柯志明教會

「聖經是必要的（necessary）。沒有聖經，就沒有基督信仰，也就沒有基督教會。聖經是基督信仰得以成立的真理根據，也是是人得以認識永生上帝以及祂的本性、創造、救贖並關乎這一切之基本真理的書。基督信仰的所有基本而核心的教義都出自聖經，所有基督徒都必須從聖經確立他信仰的所有內涵。這就是聖經之所以具有最高而獨一權威的原由，也就是『唯獨聖經』（sola scriptura）這口號所要表達的意思」（柯志明，〈聖經的本性與權威〉，《聖經論》，頁41-42）。

“The Bible is necessary. Without the Bible, there would be no Christian faith, and there would be no Christian church. The Bible is the book of fundamental truth for the establishment of the Christian faith, and it is also the book that makes understand the living God and His nature, creation, redemption, and all the basic truths related to it. All basic and core teachings of the Christian faith are from the Bible, and all Christians must establish all connotations of his faith from the Bible. This is the reason why the Bible has the highest and sole authority, that is, the meaning of the slogan ‘Sola scriptura’” (Immanuel Chih-Ming Ke, “The Nature and Authority of the Bible,” Bibliology, page 42).
