Westminster Confession of Faith · Article 22.7

Binding Vows

Türkçe

Hiç kimse, Tanrı'nın Sözünde yasaklanmış bir şeyi, emredilmiş bir şeyi yerine getirmesini engelleyecek bir şeyi, kendi gücü dahilinde olmayan bir şeyi ya da Tanrı'nın yapacağı kesin olmayan herhangi bir şeyi yerine getirmek üzerine adak adayamaz. Bu açıdan ebedi bekarlık, yoksulluk yemini ve daimî itaat gibi manastır yeminleri, bizleri daha üstün kılmaz ancak aslında hiçbir Hristiyan'ın bulaşmaması gereken batıl ve günah dolu tuzaklardır.

English

No man may vow to do anything forbidden in the Word of God, or what would hinder any duty therein commanded, or which is not in his own power, and for the performance whereof he hath no promise or ability from God. In which respect, Popish monastical vows of perpetual single life, professed poverty, and regular obedience, are so far from being degrees of higher perfection, that they are superstitious and sinful snares, in which no Christian may entangle himself.
