NASB | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God's will, both publicly and privately--behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; |
Bible Question (short): Intimidated by the word "doctrine"? |
Question (full): Dear forrest: Why are so many threatened by the use of the word "doctrine", which is merely another word for "teaching"? All scripture is indeed "profitable for doctrine" (KJV). . . . Thank you for the philosophical essay on Truth. But I was never speaking of the precepts or doctrine of men. I was speaking only of sound Bible doctrine which IS inspired of God and the meaning of which can be determined. To suggest that there is some contradiction or conflict between sound Bible doctrine and Christ is misleading. The Bible (including its sound doctrine) is the Written Word. Christ is the Living Word. Therefore, I see no conflict between Christ, the Living Word, and the Bible, the Written Word. So I still say belief comes first and then behavior. I still say WHAT, as well as Whom, we believe greatly impacts the way we live. It was not my intention to quibble over words, but to state a plain fact in plain English. |
