503 I  Believe,17|         piety that is the fruit of a philosophical or historical evolution,
504 I  Believe,12|            Scripture attests in many places. I believe that, even as
505 I  Believe,11|          conscious acceptance of the plan of salvation offered to

507 I  Believe,16|         acknowledge that there are a plurality of meanings for each verse
