NASB:
All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.
NIV:
All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
Observations:
What a cornerstone verse this is as Paul concludes his second letter to Timothy. The implications of this verse are upon every other piece of scripture.
Every single verse of the Bible is inspired by God.
What’s more, scripture is to be used for teaching, reproving, correcting and training in righteousness.
Takeaways:
First, we need to understand that there is no weakness in scripture, no fallibility. It is all God-breathed.
With that in mind, we need to use scripture to teach others about God, reprove when necessary, correct when appropriate and to train others in righteousness.
