Short biblical passage used as the basis for a sermon (4)

I believe the answer is:

text

(Other definitions for text that I've seen before include "Sermon basis" , "Main body of book or page" , "Bible passage" , "inspiration for sermon" , "'Words, not illustrations (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
