The manifold meaning of Scripture is also appropriate to its source. For it came from God, through Christ and the Holy Spirit, who spoke through the prophets and the other holy people who committed this teaching to writing. Now God speaks not with words alone, but also through deeds, because with God to say is to do, and to do is to say. All created things, being the result of God's action, point towards their cause. So, in Scripture, which has been handed on to us by God, deeds no less than words have meaning.
