2 Timothy 3:17 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Man of God (note, 1 Timothy 6:11).

Perfect, throughly furnished - `thoroughly perfected' х artios (G739) - exeertismenos (G1822)]; complete (unmutilated) in the adaptation of parts and aptitude for use: х teleios (G5046)] absolutely perfect. If the Scripture be not perfect itself, how can it make the man of God perfect? But he is perfectly accoutred out of Scripture for his work, whether as a minister (cf. 2 Timothy 4:2 with 2 Timothy 3:16) or a layman. No oral out of Scripture for his work, whether as a minister (cf. 2 Timothy 4:2 with 2 Timothy 3:16) or a layman. No oral tradition is needed.
