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

¹⁰ Now you have followed my teaching, my practice, my aims, my faith, my patience, my love, my stedfastness, ¹¹ my persecutions, my sufferings ??all that befell me at Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, all the persecutions I had to undergo, from which the Lord rescued me. ¹² Yes, and all who want to live the religious life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. ¹³ Bad characters and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and deceived themselves; ¹⁴ but hold you to what you have been taught, hold to your convictions, remember who your teachers were, ¹⁵ remember you have known from childhood the sacred writings that can impart saving wisdom by faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for amendment, and for moral discipline, ¹⁷ to make the man of God proficient and equip him for good work of every kind.
