But now is made manifest,
--and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Romans 16:26
"When God's word is by the fathers expounded, construed, and 
glossed, then, in my judgment, it is even like unto one that straineth milk through a coalsack: which must needs spoil the milk and make it black: even so likewise God's word of itself is sufficiently pure, clean, bright and clear: but through the doctrines, books and writing of the fathers, it is very surely darkened, falsified and spoiled."
Martin Luther
