[It] is the interest as well as duty of a sovereign to maintain the authority of the laws.

— Edward Gibbon

Next Quote

It is scripture alone, not conservative Evangelical tradition or any other human authority, that must function as the normative authority for the definition of what we should believe. The authority of the scripture means that all the words in scripture are God's words in such a way that to disbelieve or disobey any word of scripture is to disbelieve or disobey God.

— Wayne Grudem
