14
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it,
15

All scripture is inspired by God and is a useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17
so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.
