2 Timothy 3:15
13 while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them.
From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
