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

¹⁰ But you, on your part, have faithfully followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, ¹¹ my persecutions, my sufferings, such as befell me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, such as I endured but the Lord delivered me out of them all. ¹² Yes, indeed, everyone who wants to live a godly life as a follower of Christ Jesus will be persecuted. ¹³ But bad men and imposters will go on from bad to worse, misleading others and misled themselves. ¹⁴ But you, on your part, must continue to abide by what you have learned and been led to rely upon, because you know from whom you learned it ¹⁵ and that from childhood you have known the sacred Scriptures which can give you wisdom that leads to salvation through the faith that leans on Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All Scripture is inspired by God, and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in doing what is right, ¹⁷ so that the man of God may be perfectly fit, thoroughly equipped for every good enterprise.
