All scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness

All scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness

2 Tim 3:16

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Pet 1:20, 21

20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Rom 4:23, 24

23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

Deut 29:29

29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)     All scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness

2)     For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

3)     God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.


4)     The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
