2 Timothy 3:10-17 - The Value Of The Scriptures

¹⁰ But you took as your example my teaching, behaviour, purpose, and faith; my long waiting, my love, my quiet undergoing of trouble; ¹¹ My punishments and pain; the things which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; the cruel attacks made on me: and the Lord made me free from them all. ¹² Yes, and all whose purpose is to be living in the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, will be cruelly attacked. ¹³ Evil and false men will become worse and worse, using deceit and themselves overcome by deceit. ¹⁴ But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher; ¹⁵ And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness: ¹⁷ So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work.
