Do Not Say, "this Happened By Chance, While This Came To Be Of Itself." In All That Exists There Is Nothing Disorderly, Nothing Indefinite, Nothing Without Purpose, Nothing By Chance ...

As We Were Baptized, So We Profess Our Belief. As We Profess Our Belief, So Also We Offer Praise. As Then Baptism Has Been Given Us By The Savior, In The Name Of The Father And Of The Son And Of The Holy Ghost, So, In Accordance With Our Baptism, We Make The Confession Of The Creed, And Our Doxology In Accordance With Our Creed.

We Need Not Only Read Sacred Scripture, But Learn It As Well And Grow Up In It. Realize That Nothing Is Written In Scripture Unnecessarily. Not To Read Sacred Scripture Is A Great Evil.
