¹⁶ All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

²⁰ Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding,^{[a] 21} or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.
