2 Timotius 1:2

1:2 to Timothy, my dear child. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

2 Timotius 2:10

2:10 So I endure all things for the sake of those chosen by God, ¹  that they too may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus and its eternal glory. ² 

2 Timotius 3:16

3:16 Every scripture ³  is inspired by God ⁴  and useful for teaching, for reproof, ⁵  for correction, and for training in righteousness,

2 Timotius 4:13

4:13 When you come, bring with you the cloak I left in Troas with Carpas and the scrolls, especially the parchments.

[2:10]  ¹ tn Grk “the elect.”

[2:10]  ² tn Grk “with eternal glory.”

[3:16]  ³ tn Or “All scripture.”

[3:16]  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.”

[3:16]  ⁴ 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.”

[3:16]  ⁵ tn Or “rebuke,” “censure.” The Greek word implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.
