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

¹⁰ As for me, you are perfectly acquainted with my doctrine, my conduct, my designs, my temper, my benevolence, my constancy, ¹¹ my persecutions, and the sufferings that befel me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions did I endure? but the Lord deliver'd me out of them all: yes, ¹² and those who will live like Christians, shall generally suffer persecution. ¹³ as for these impious impostors, they will go on from bad to worse, seducing others, and deluding themselves. ¹⁴ But be you attach'd to the doctrine you have learnt, with which you are intrusted, considering by whom you have been instructed: ¹⁵ and that from your infancy you were acquainted with the sacred writings, which point you the way to salvation, by believing in Christ Jesus: ¹⁶ for all divinely inspired writings are conducive to instruction, to conviction, to reformation, and the practice of virtue; ¹⁷ that the minister of God may be perfectly accomplished for every office of religion.
