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

¹⁰ But you, Timothy, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aims, my faith, patience, love, endurance, ¹¹ as well as the persecutions and sufferings which befell me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. You know all the persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all! ¹² Yes, and all who purpose to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. ¹³ But wicked men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving others, and being themselves deceived. ¹⁴ But do you hold fast what you have learned and have held to be true. You know those from whom you have learned it, ¹⁵ and how from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ Every Scripture, seeing that it is God-breathed, is also profitable for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the man of God may himself be complete, and completely equipped for every good work.
