2Tim 3: 16

(KJV)

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

(NASB2020)

^aAll Scripture is ^{▼▼Lit God-breathed}inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for ^{▼▼Or reprimand}rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness;

Every scripture ^{▼▼tn Or “All scripture.”} ^{▼▼sn There is very little difference in sense between every scripture (emphasizing the individual portions) and “all scripture” (emphasizing the composite whole). The former option is preferred because it fits the normal use of the word “all/every” in Greek (πᾶς, pas) as well as Paul’s normal sense for the word “scripture” in the singular without the article, as here. So every scripture means “every individual portion of scripture.”} is inspired by God ^{▼▼sn Inspired by God. Some have connected this adjective in a different way and translated it as “every inspired scripture is also useful.” But this violates the parallelism of the two adjectives in the sentence, and the arrangement of words makes clear that both should be taken as predicate adjectives: “every scripture is inspired…and useful.”} and useful for teaching, for reproof, ^{▼▼tn Or “rebuke,” “censure.” The Greek word implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.} for correction, and for training in righteousness,

2Tim 3: 17

(KJV)

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

(NASB2020)

so that ^hthe man or woman of God may be ^{▼▼Or proficient}fully capable, ^jequipped for every good work.

that the person dedicated to God ^{▼▼tn Grk “the man of God,” but ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is most likely used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women.} may be capable ^{▼▼tn This word is positioned for special emphasis; it carries the sense of “complete, competent, able to meet all demands.”} and equipped for every good work.
