201. Amos

Chapter 1 Verses 1, 2 [The teaching of] the Lord about the Word and doctrine from the Word: 1 3-5 About those who pervert knowledges [cognitiones] from the Word which are of service to doctrine and who thus turn away also the good of those knowledges: these will perish. 3 6-8 About those who apply the Word to a heretical falsity: these will perish. 3 9, 10 About those who pervert knowledges [cognitiones] of good and truth, and thereby do injury to the external sense of the Word. 3 11, 12 About those who pervert the sense of the letter of the Word by falsity, by which doctrine perishes. 3 13-15 About those who falsify the truths of the sense of the letter of the Word: they do not resist in the day of combat, but destroy the truth of doctrine. 3, 15
