Best Answer

By quoting or referencing primary sources. For example, in the Bible when Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, or any of the other Disciples talk about Jesus they are primary sources, because they witnessed what they are writing about firsthand. Paul, on the other hand, didn't witness these things firsthand, but is hearing or reading about them from those who did.
