For whom is all Scripture profitable?
Paul writes that all Scripture is inspired of God, from cover to cover, and that it is all profitable. It is good for every one of us, as well as for anyone else who has lived before us or after us.
Les explains that Paul's pen says all Scripture is inspired of God—all of it, from cover to cover, not just Paul's letters. All Scripture is profitable and good for every one of us, as well as for anyone else who has lived before us or after us. Les notes Paul never lifts himself up as the only one we are to pay attention to, yet he brings out many doctrines not found anywhere else in Scripture. So it behooves us to spend the best part of our time in Paul's epistles and funnel back and forth throughout all the rest of the Scriptures.
