Look, I must tell you that like it or not there was no official canon /bible until the 5th Century.So when Peter or Irenaeus mentions scripture they referred to OT. I know this discombobulates and disappoints your mental equilibrium but that is the way it is.

I have read the early church fathers and found them to be excellent in regarding to testifying to the veracity of the Bride of Christ the catholic Church.

I would encourage you to read all of these fathers as they have some wonderful theological ideas and most Catholics are the richer for having read them and their thoughts.

Reading them in Latin will insure you obtain their exact meaning not some mistranslated version .

It is important to remember that defense of Scripture by these fathers must be distinguished from advocacy of the heretical myth of Sola scriptura which allows the over 30,000 plus cults to follow Harold Camping and pervert and desecrate the word of God.Trust in Jesus as your personal Savior.

That's goofy...Unless Latin is your only language, you will translate the Latin into your native tongue and come up with your own translation...
