^16 (A)All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, ^(B)and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for ^[a]instruction in righteousness,

⁴ For ^(A)whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the ^[a]patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

¹⁷ So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
