<p>3:16- see on 2 Tim. 4:2,3.</p><p><i>Every scripture </i><i>is inspired of God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness</i><i>- </i>The Hebrew Bible was split up into small sections, such as &quot;The Bush&quot;, referring to Moses and the burning bush. Each section was Divinely inspired.</p><p>A comparison of 2 Tim. 3:16 with 4:2,3 makes it clear that because the inspired word is profitable:<br />for doctrine <i>therefore</i><br />preach the word; be instant in season, out of season (i.e. whether <br />you naturally feel in the preaching mood or not)<br />for reproof <i>therefore</i> <br />reprove<br />for correction <i>therefore</i><br />rebuke<br />for instruction in righteousness <i>therefore</i><br />exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.</p>
