... Q. 9. How is the divinity of Holy Scripture shown?

A. (1) From its holy and exalted content, (2) from the piety of its authors (2 Peter 1:21), (3) from its mysteries; (4) from the fulfilment of prophecies; (5) from its powerful effect on the hearts of the unconverted (Jer. 23:29) and the converted (Ps. 119:92); and (6) from the miracles through which it is confirmed.

Q. 10. How is a Christian convinced of the divinity and authority of Holy Scripture?

A. (1) Through the inner illumination and conviction of the Holy Spirit (Ps. 119:18; 2 Cor. 4:13; 1 John 5:6); (2) through its divine marks (2 Peter 1:19; Luke 16:29); and (3) by means of the witness of the church, on which, however, the authority of Holy Scripture does not only or even fundamentally depend (Eph. 2:20).

Q. 11. Is Holy Scripture infallible?
