**So, In sum, we have the early Church testifying that Scripture is the word of the prophets and apostles, that it is authoritative, AND that their message is the FOUNDATION.**
Catholics believe this too. It’s just that there is more as St. John explains in his Gospel and in two of his letters — and that is Holy Tradition.
The fact that it is in the Bible three times, to me, is very significant.
OOOoooh!
