Holy Scripture

Joshua 23:7

A church father on this verse
“Learning literature is allowable for believers, rather than teaching; for the principle of learning and of teaching is different. If a believer teaches literature, while he is teaching doubtless he commends, while he delivers he affirms, while he recalls he bears testimony to, the praises of idols interspersed therein…”
Tertullian, 3th c. — ON IDOLATRY 10
