A Closer Look At Paul’s Words To Timothy

Verses we are all familiar with… “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 We understand the importance in everything here, but what exactly is the difference between all of these things that God’s Word prepares us for?

A few notes before we go on. What does “Scripture” refer to? I believe specifically the OT Scriptures (see vs. 15). However Paul had previously affirmed the importance of the NT Scriptures to Timothy. (1 Tim. 5:18). What does it mean that these were “inspired?” The word is only used here in the NT. It literally means “God-breathed,” meaning prompted and driven by the breath of God. The Scriptures were created the same way that God created the heavens and the earth. (see Psalm 19)

Why are these Scriptures so important? Because they are “profitable.” Literally they “heap up” or accumulate benefit. This word is only used 3 times. Once in each of the personal “T” letters 1 Tim. 4:8, 2 Tim. 3:16, and Titus 3:8 Godliness is profitable because it is about eternal things. Scripture is profitable because it equips God’s people. Good deeds are profitable because they help us accomplish the purposes of God. How much of your time is spent on unprofitable things?

What are the Scriptures good for? Teaching (doctrine in the KJV) That which is taught; refers not only to what is taught but the authority behind a teacher. (see also Rom. 15:4) Out of the 21 uses in the NT, 15 are in the “T” letters, where it is typically used as “sound doctrine.” It is required of elders. 1 Tim.5:17; Titus 1:9 Why is it so important to be trained this way? Many won’t want to hear it! (2 Tim. 4:3) Are you able to teach as “an authority” on the topic of the Gospel?

What are the Scriptures good for? Reproof (rebuking in the NIV) Refers to charging and convicting; it also implies that there is truth behind the charge. Only used here and in Hebrews 11:1. Paul had to do this often. 1 Tim. 1:20; 1 Cor. 5:5; Gal. 2:11 As a preacher Timothy would have to be ready to do this too! 2 Tim. 4:1-5 Are you ready to confront people with their sin using the truth found in Scripture?

What are the Scriptures good for? Correction (setting aright in YLT) To set upright again, to make right; to correct or amend. This word is only used here in the NT. The Bible repeatedly emphasizes the importance of “making things right.” Acknowledging wrong is not enough. The Scriptures teach us how to change and repent. Matters between people. (think Philemon) Matters between people and God. Are you ready to use the Scriptures to teach others to repent? Have you changed from your own ways?

What are the Scriptures good for? Training in Righteousness (instruction in KJV) A chastening; the instruction of children. It is primarily by deed, and not by word. This is how a father is to teach his children (Eph 6:4) and is how our Heavenly Father disciplines us (Heb. 12:4-11) The Bible is not just a set of facts to learn, it is full of examples and patterns to follow. God shows us how to be holy. Do you know what it looks like to live a Christian life? Are you modeling this Godly behavior for others?

So that we may be… Adequate (perfect in KJV) Having all parts whole and complete so that they might serve their destined purpose; completely sufficient or qualified. This word is used only here. Equipped (furnished in KJV) Appropriate position or condition; completed. This word is used only here and Acts 21:5. Do you feel that you are qualified to use the Word of God to help others? Do you feel ready to do the work God has called you to do?
