The Rule of St. Benedict is norm of the life for Christian monks in Occident. According to the biblical index in the edition of R. Hanslik (Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, 75) in the Rule are citations from 30 and allusions from 39 texts of Corpus Paulinum in 82 places of RB. More of one time are citations or allusions to Rom 2, 11; 12, 10; 1 Cor 4, 12; 9, 27; 10, 4; Eph 4, 37; Phil 2, 8; 2 Tim 3, 13; 5, 20; 2 Tim 4, 2. This is a good example of reading and use of the Bible in ancient monasticism and also help for contemporary monks and nuns.
