It is readily demonstrated that the prayers hymns and read[1]ings in the Sacred Services of the Orthodox Church copiously incor[1]porate words phrases whole verses entire chapters and even com[1]plete books directly drawn from both Old and New Testaments pre[1]sented literally as they appear in Scripture with usage exegesis un[1]derstanding and teaching fully consistent with the original texts' in[1]tent and so with the doctrines of the Church.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Faithful adherence to this paramount premise of dual con[1]sistency literal and doctrinal is manifested in the Church's Services and texts in the well-established historical Orthodox Churches around the world. Therefore it finally also must come to be so for the Church in the English-speaking countries. One purpose then for which this present book of citations was compiled is precisely to prove and to emphasize strongly (with corrected text) this funda[1]mental principle and to urge and to underscore the need for the ap[1]plication of this principle across all of the Church's English-language scriptural and liturgical texts.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Further it is the contention of the compiler of this book that only the Holy Orthodox Church has an actual life and worship completely infused with and so super-abundantly immersed and rich in the Holy Bible. Thus the other purpose for which this present book of citations was compiled is to make this point obvious and to instill awe rever[1]ence and spiritual fervor for the Divine Liturgy the timeless Sacred Service of the Holy Eucharist the Service exemplar of the divine maj[1]esty and biblical sanctity of the liturgical life of the Orthodox Church.</span></p>
