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.

James 3:15-17

15 This is not ⁱthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, ^jdemonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But ^kthe wisdom from above is first pure, then ^lpeaceable, gentle, open to reason, ^mfull of mercy and good fruits, ⁿimpartial and ^osincere.
