Clearly the two statements can be found in the New Testament. It is less clear that they are as tightly conjoined as in the admonition which Mike Scoles interesting (but largely irrelevent) source attributes to St. Augustine. >Sorry for my confusion over the word "admonition" when it is modified by >"biblical." I thought that would mean it came from the bible. I thought so too, but when I looked up the definition of the term 'biblical' I got the one that Jim uses. * PAUL K.
