Deuteronomy 23:7

Verse 7. But external religion agreeing with internal is not to be shunned; for it is the brother of internal religion: nor are its scientifics (or knowledges in the memory) to be shunned; for before regeneration the mind dwells amongst scientifics (and is kept there) in an external state, to be instructed till the time when truths can be implanted in the life.
