2 Timothy 3-4 warns that the Scriptures will be opposed by the wicked (3:7-11). Nevertheless, the examples of Christ, Paul and Timothy show that people of God can live righteously according to the Scriptures (3:12-17).
God's Word, inspired by the Holy Spirit, is profitable for doctrine (teaching) reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (16). By it, the man of God is equipped to be adequate to do God's work (17). |
