What does the Bible say about the inspiration of Scripture?
Answered in 6 sources
The Bible teaches that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for teaching and correction.
The doctrine of inspiration asserts that all Scripture is the breathed-out word of God. As stated in 2 Timothy 3:16, 'All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.' This means that the entirety of the biblical text is authoritative and is to be used for spiritual guidance, revealing God's truth and moral standards. Understanding this inspires reverence and reliance on Scripture as the ultimate authority for faith and practice.
