If there was no Bible, it would be no matter whether you could read or not. Reading other books would do you no good.

There's no better book with which to defend the Bible than the Bible itself.

I've read the Bible before, a couple of times cover to cover.

When I have the Bible memorised, then I'll be able to go and read a couple other books.

The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed.

I was taught a lot of Bible at home and had a voracious appetite for reading the Bible.

I love the Bible.

If you see most people neglect the Bible, and many that can read never look into it, let it not harden you and make you think lightly of it, and that it is a book of no worth.

To read the Bible is of itself a laudable occupation and can scarcely fail of being a useful employment of time; but the habit of reflecting upon what you have read is equally essential as than of reading itself, to give it all the efficacy of which it is susceptible.

I have never sat down and studied the Bible, never consciously echoed its language, and am, in reality, as ignorant of it as most brought-up Christians. All of the Bible that I use in my work is remembered from childhood and is the common property of all who were brought up in English-speaking communities.
