The Sanskrit word is "sutra" and the Pali word is "sutta." There is some scholarly debate on the exact translation: it could be "thread" or closer to "to join." An effective English translation is simply "teaching."

Roman Catholic AnswerCatholic priests teach Christianity as taught to us by Our Blessed Lord, and handed down from His disciples though the Bishops in union with His Vicar, the Pope. Part of that teaching is the Bible which we compiled in the first four centuries after Christ's resurrection. The main source of Christian belief is what we call, "Tradition", which is the teaching handed down through the Church, part of Tradition which got written down was the Bible, but that was a century or so later. All teaching is, of course, consistent with the Bible, as the Bible is part of that teaching.
