¹⁴ You, however, ^(A)continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, ¹⁵ and that ^(B)from childhood you have known ^(C)the sacred writings which are able to ^(D)give you the wisdom that leads to ^(E)salvation through faith which is in ^(F)Christ Jesus. ^16 (G)All Scripture is ^[a]inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for ^[b]rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; ¹⁷ so that ^(H)the man or woman of God may be ^[c]fully capable, ^(I)equipped for every good work.

Preach the Word

4 ^(J)I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to ^(K)judge the living and the dead, and by His ^(L)appearing and His kingdom: ² preach ^(M)the word; be ready ^[d]in season and out of season; ^(N)correct, rebuke, and ^[e]exhort, with ^[f]great ^(O)patience and instruction.

^13 (A)Hold on to the ^(B)example of ^(C)sound words ^(D)which you have heard from me, in the ^(E)faith and love which are in ^(F)Christ Jesus.
