"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof,
for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may
be adequate, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
"What Paul does not say [2 Timothy 3:16], however, is that the Scriptures
are sufficient all by themselves." (THE WAY: What Every Protestant Should
Know About the Orthodox Church, Clark Carlton, 1997, p 122)

Refutation of the false Roman Catholic and Orthodox argument:
"2 Timothy 3:16-17 doesn't say the Bible is all sufficient by itself."
Sola Scriptura is proven by 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
2 Tim 3:17 says that the scripture will "equip us for every good
work". It does not say that scripture will "equip us for MOST good works".
It does not say that scripture will "equip us PARTIALLY for good works".
The KJV uses the imagery that scripture is able to "fully furnish"
us for ever good work. Now imagine you rented an apartment and the ad said
it was "fully furnished". When you move in you know what fully furnished
means. It has a bed, a couch, a fridge etc. Everything you need to live. If
you walked in and it had not dresser drawers to put your clothes in, you
would complain that it was not fully furnished! The scripture is able to
fully furnish us for EVERY GOOD WORK. In other words, there are no good
works that the Bible does not discuss. If we abide with scripture, and
scripture alone, we need not look to oral church traditions to learn about
any other good works. If we do what the Bible says, God will be happy with
us.
The ability to read is all you need to refute the false claim made
by Clark Carlton. "every good word" means what we all know it to mean.
