2 Timothy and 2 Peter independently stress Scripture’s divine origin: Scripture is God-breathed, and prophecy came as holy men were carried by the Holy Spirit. The approved evidence supports this relationship while preserving the difference between direct quotation, canonical development, and interpretive inference.

Jesus interprets Moses and the prophets as bearing witness to the Messiah; 2 Timothy says the holy Scriptures make Timothy wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

Jesus locates his suffering, resurrection, and the mission of repentance within the Law, Prophets, and Psalms; 2 Timothy says those Scriptures make one wise for salvation through faith in Christ.

Scripture equips the man of God for every good work in 3:16–17; the next movement charges Timothy to preach that word with patient teaching in view of Christ’s appearing and kingdom.

Psalm 19 says the LORD’s testimony makes the simple wise; 2 Timothy says the sacred Scriptures Timothy knew from childhood are able to make him wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
