"The devil can quote/cite scripture for his own purpose" = Quỷ dữ có thể trích dẫn Kinh thánh theo mục đích của hắn -> Kinh thánh cũng có thể sử dụng cho những mục đích xấu.
Ví dụ
The best answer is this: if you have a political agenda (nghị sự chính trị), you can find a study and a scientist to get evidence for it. This reminds us of Shakespeare: the devil can cite scripture for his purpose.
Shakespeare once wrote that the devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. Nowadays, we see the terms ‘humanitarian’ (nhân đạo) and ‘democracy’ (dân chủ) abused to justify death and destruction (biện minh cho hủy diệt và chết chóc).
Pope St. Gregory the Great (Giáo hoàng Gregory Đại đế) said that if we consider how our Lord allowed himself to be treated during his passion, it isn’t surprising that he would allow the devil to treat him this way. However, notice that the devil can quote Scripture to his own chilling, terrible advantage (lợi thế khủng khiếp)
