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

¹⁰ But you have closely followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, ¹¹ my persecutions, my sufferings??he things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, the persecutions I endured; yet the Lord brought me safely out of them all. ¹² But everyone who wants to live a godly life as a follower of Christ Jesus will be persecuted, ¹³ and bad men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceived themselves. ¹⁴ But you must stand by what you have learned and been convinced of, and remember from whom you learned it, ¹⁵ and how from childhood you have known the Scriptures which can give you the wisdom that through faith in Christ Jesus leads to salvation. ¹⁶ All Scripture is divinely inspired, and useful in teaching, in reproof, in correcting faults, and in training in uprightness, ¹⁷ so that the man of God will be adequate, and equipped for any good work.
