2 Timothy 3:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible
15 Even when you were a child, you already knew the message of the Bible. The Bible has taught you how you can be truly wise. You understand that God saves you because you believe in Christ Jesus. 16 Everything that is written in the Bible comes from God's Spirit. It helps us in many ways. The Bible teaches us what is true. It warns us when we are doing wrong things. It shows us what is right. It teaches us how to live good lives.[a] 17 As a result, people who want to serve God can know how to live properly. They will be people who are ready to do all kinds of good things.
