聖經是天主給人類的長信，召喚他們走向天堂

聖經是天主給人類的長信，召喚他們走向天堂……。它是一本神聖的書：包含了需要實行的法律，需要相信的真理；它指出、揭示並提供獲得恩典的方法，為了使人以天主子女的身分去相信和行動，以達目標。（AE, 159-160）

The Bible is God’s long letter addressed to human beings, calling them to heaven… It is the divine Book. It embodies the laws to be practiced and the truths to be believed; it indicates, reveals and prepares the means of grace in order to believe and to act as God’s children so as to reach the goal (AE, 159-160).
