What is all Scripture profitable for according to 2 Timothy 3:16?

According to 2 Timothy 3:16, all Scripture is inspired of God and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for corruption, and for instruction in righteousness, so that the man of God, the believer, may be perfect, brought to maturity, and thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Les teaches that in 2 Timothy 3:16 the phrase "all Scripture" means Genesis through Revelation. He uses this verse as an introduction to Corinthians. The verse says all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for corruption, and for instruction in righteousness. The purpose is that the man of God, the believer, may be perfect, or brought to a place of maturity, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Les connects this to what was looked at in the last chapters of Romans.
