2 Timothy 3:15-17

15 and how ^afrom childhood you have been acquainted with ^bthe sacred writings, ^cwhich are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 ^dAll Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that ^ethe man of God ^{▼▼That is, a messenger of God (the phrase echoes a common Old Testament expression)} may be complete, ^gequipped ^hfor every good work.

2 Peter 1:19-21

19 And ⁱwe have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention ^jas to a lamp shining in a dark place, until ^kthe day ^ldawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. 21 For ^mno prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God ⁿas they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
